Under the Laws of The Federation of Nigeria all persons who practice Production and Operations Management are to be registered by the Nigerian Institute of Production Management ( NIPM).
Employers are obligated to ensure that they do not employ quacks but persons duly registered with NIPM. This has always helped complying organisations to increase value through higher level of competitiveness, productivity, quality, reliability, safety, efficiency, cost effectiveness and customer service.
