Welcome! Doing research in the field of Operations Management can be complex because operations is an umbrella concept that includes a wide range of topics such as product launching, logistics, inventory management and supply chain management. The MIT School of Management defines the field as:
"Operations management researches efficiencies in planning, organizing, and supervising in production and manufacturing. It is delivery- focused, ensuring that an organization successfully turns inputs to outputs in an effective manner. The inputs themselves could represent anything from materials, equipment, and technology to human resources such as staff or workers." - MIT Sloan School of Management
