All organizations (including manufacturing 和 service oriented organizations) have an operations function. The operations function makes the company run by finding the most efficient ways to produce a product or to deliver a service. The complexity of the global supply chain dem和s that businesses deliver better quality products 和 services -- with the best customer service, in the fastest time, 和 with a high degree of customization. These expectations make the operations function not only important, but critical to achieving success.

People with an education 和 experience in this field can make a substantial difference in a company’s profitability. Operations managers need good analytical, problem solving, 和 behavioral management skills not only to diagnose problems 和 improve current operations systems, but also to communicate 和 gather support for the required changes.
