What is Operations Management?
Operations Management is the design, operation, and improvement of the systems that create and deliver the firm’s primary products and services in the most efficient and effective way.
It’s the discipline of managing an organization’s operations (which are the core, daily activities that create value; typically, in order to earn a profit). Operations is one of the primary functions of a business, alongside the likes of marketing or finance.
