Operations management is the process of managing the planning, organizing, and supervising the primary functions of your organization to ensure it operates in a very efficient manner. It involves managing information, human resources, equipment, technology, and other resources needed to get the most out of a company’s resources.
Operations management is an integral function of every organization regardless of its size, industry, whether it is service or manufacturing. The goal of operations management is to help maximize efficiency within an organization, increase the organization’s productivity, increase profits while reducing costs, and ensure the production and delivery of high quality products or services.
Operations management ensures that every single day-to-day operation in an organization supports and helps to achieve that organization’s unique goals.
