“The Operations Competence Centre is a lively environment where business and science meet. It is a place where knowledge-sharing and talent development in operations and supply management converge," explains Menno Maas, Associate Dean at TIAS responsible for Business Development.

Top programs in operations and supply chain

“The Eindhoven knowledge region is perfect for our business school to further develop our position. The professionals in this strongly technological and innovative region have a need for our top programs, such as the Master of Operations and Supply Chain Excellence and master classes that we offer in this discipline. Eindhoven is very attractive to talented students, knowledge workers, business professionals and investors from around the world. We want to take full advantage of that fact.”
