It involves the responsibility of ensuring that business operations are efficient in utilizing its limited resources while being effective. It is concerned with managing the process that converts inputs (in the forms of raw materials, labor, and energy) into outputs (in the form of goods and/or services). This talk will cover not only the technical aspects but also the management aspects and the practical challenges of operations management in business today.
