The MMM Program is a dual-degree program at [[Northwestern University]] between the [[McCormick School of Engineering]] and the [[Kellogg School of Management]].
 
==Beginning inas Operations Program==
The program began in the 1980s under the leadership of Donald Jacobs who was dean of the Kellogg School of Management at the time. The manufacturing industry in the United States was under intense competition during this time principally due to Japan's use of [[kanban]] and [[Just In Time (business)|JIT]] principles. Dean Jacobs founded the Masters of Management and Manufacturing (i.e. MMM) Program with the intent to equip business leaders with operation and manufacturing management skills relevant in the ultra-competitive era of the 1980s.
