Description
BACKGROUND:
Operations management (OM) is a business function that plans, organizes, coordinates, and controls the resources needed to produce a company’s goods and services. Businesses require OM to function, as it involves managing people, equipment, technology, information, and many other resources. This applies to small through to large businesses, goods or service-based businesses, and for-profit or not-for-profit organizations. Every successful business should have an operations management function. In fact, all the other functions exist primarily to support the operations function. Consider a clothing retailer such as Country Road or Topshop. The marketing function provides promotions for the apparel, and the finance function gathers the necessary capital. Whilst the operations function is responsible for coordinating the resources needed to design, produce, and deliver the stock to the retail locations. Without the operations function, there would be no goods or services to sell to customers.
