Operations Management
majors study concepts and strategies that enable
organizations to be competitive in the world economy.
They also study management tools and analytical
techniques, such as forecasting, purchasing and
logistics, inventory management, production scheduling,
and quality manufacturing practices needed to achieve
the goal of customer service. Every organization,
whether public or private, produces goods and/or
delivers services to customers and clients. Effective
management of these production and service operations is
critical to the success of an organization. Operations
professionals manage and coordinate activities to
balance the needs of the consumer with the resources of
the firm. For many years these efforts increasingly
extend beyond a single physical location, and require
coordination among a global pipeline of suppliers and
contractors. This requires an effective and efficient
flow of both materials and information among all parts
of the supply chain, with the overall goal of satisfying
the ultimate consumer.
