Operations Management deals with the design and management of products, processes, services and supply chains. It considers the acquisition, development, and utilization of resources that businesses need to deliver goods and services to their clients.
Operations Management involves strategic, tactical and operational oversight. It focuses on carefully managing processes to produce and distribute products and services. Major operations management activities often include product development, supply chain, production and distribution. Related activities include managing purchasing, inventory control, quality control, storage, logistics and evaluations of processes. A great deal of focus is on efficiency and effectiveness of processes. Therefore, operations management often includes substantial measurement and analysis of internal processes. Ultimately, the nature of how operations management is carried out in an organization depends very much on the nature of the products or services and on the processes required for effective execution. Core processes to be managed effectively can include:
- Purchasing
- Product and Service Production
- Quality Management
- Inventory Management
- Supply Chain Management
- Logistics and Transportation Management
- Facilities Management
- Configuration Management
- Distribution Channels
- Enterprise Resource Planning
