Operations management

the    production of goods    and


the    delivery of services    to meet     customer's demands. 


It is   one of the central functions    of 


every business, government agency, and non-for-profit organizations. 


Sound and creative operations management 


can provide an important competitive advantage for firms


 to succeed in today's marketplace. 


Successful companies need to have


 the capability of delivering high-quality products/services


 to meet their ever-changing customer demands   in a timely and cost-effective manner.


 It has also been realized that the operations function


 must integrate into the overall corporate planning and strategy to achieve such an advantage.
