All training offered through Kangan Institute's Centre for Competitive Operations reflects the principles of Competitive Manufacturing, which aims to increase the global competitiveness of Australian manufacturers by providing training with a stronger focus on:
- sound leadership in a Competitive Manufacturing environment
- strategic planning and looking at company targets
