Operations management is the discipline that plans and coordinates the production and delivery of products and services to customers all over the world. Some of the many activities include: customer service, transportation, purchasing, manufacturing, plant management, warehousing, materials handling, strategic planning, inventory control, and forecasting.

  • Once considered an important, behind-the-scenes activity, operations management is now recognized as a strategic tool for creating customer value and loyalty. Companies like Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola, and Nike attribute a great deal of their success to the efficient management of their global supply chains.
  • The operations management curriculum covers the breadth of knowledge required for certification by the American Production and Inventory Control Society (APICS).
