operation management

An MBA specialization in operations management looks at the underlying concepts of the production and operations function of an organization, and are generally divided into two areas. The first is the study of service operations, and the second is manufacturing or production operations.

This may encompass study in the following areas: design-related activities that form the function of a particular operation; the planning and control activities necessary to run the operation; and/or improving the way a particular operation performs its function.
