About the Production Management

The program's curricula incorporate new technologies such as:

• Computer-aided design (CAD)

• Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

• Computer Assisted Manufacturing (CAM) programs

Inside the classrooms, faculty make use of interactive learning through online resources and software as well as keeping current with new trends and standards used in the industry.  Since production today incorporates facilities from around the world, the program also includes a foreign language requirement in its curriculum to give students the ability to work with companies in foreign countries.

Hands-on, Industry Experience

An FIT education prepares students to graduate directly from the classroom into the workplace.  This is particularly true with the Production Management department whose faculty is comprised of experts working in the production industry and whose students interact directly with companies in the field through class tours and internships.

Students in both the associate and bachelor's degree programs have the opportunity to put the skills and knowledge they've gained in the classroom to immediate use while interning with a company such as a label manufacturer, logistics, and distribution center, importer/exporter, software supplier, or manufacturer of sewn products, home furnishings, or toys.  During these internships and in the classroom, students work hands-on in virtually every aspect of production and have access to the most advanced computer programs and systems.
