...Queen’s University Belfast Queen’s University Management School. MGT2005 OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT Semester 2, 2012 “You don’t have to change. . . Survival is not mandatory.” (Professor William E. Deming) Course Co-ordinator: Dr Yu Xiong Introduction to Operations Management Operations Management (OM) is a functional field of management encompassing the design, operation and improvement of the processes and systems employed in the creation and delivery of an organisation's products and services. Essentially, operations management is concerned with explaining how factories and services work. Managing operations well requires both strategic and tactical skills and is critical to every type of organization, for it is only through effective and efficient utilization of resources that an organization can be successful in the long run.

Making this link transparent is essential to making better operational decisions. Variability exists in any operation, and this variability needs to be managed Integration, both across functional areas within a firm, and across firms in the value creation and delivery network, is crucial for superior firm performance...
