would be gr8 if u can illustrate with examples...

Thanks....

let me take further question in a new post cause too long a post actually becomes too boring... so no that u hae understood that Ops is in every field in the industry whether its in manufacturing or logistics or health care or IT or Banking or BPO or finacial sector or or or and or.... u also need to understand that we have our presence in very dept of an organisations... thus we have ops in marketing, ops in HR etc...

However lemme tell u that we are more of specialist than generalist.. ANd SIOM churns our techno-business managers who are super-specialists... Still u will find people here who are inclined towards becoming a generalist so that they can play with more fields, however u can already see that future belongs to specialists and not to generalists... and all who are more generalists shouls understnd that as climb up the corporate ladder the speacialisation soon vanishes... Right??

2.What do you actually learn in Operations management ??
In operations mangagement we study to deal with all the things i mentioned above... for the course curriculam u need to check the individual websites of the colleges offering ops.....

Try NITIE's and SIOM's website...
cause they deal in insustrial and ops management exclusively.... Both aew almost the same...

3.is it the whole operation of a company or something regarding that ?
The organisations is ours to play with, as we climb up the ladder...

Phew!!!!!! i hope i have already cleared all ur doubts... For further queries u know where to post...

keep asking...

look dude ops is there in every funtion od an organisation whether its IT, consrtruction or for that matter any domain.. With an MBA in hand ur destinction as civil, mechanical and etc becomes minimal and ur remain as a trained techno buisness manager(if ur an enginner)... so u can push forward in any domain...

with 3 yrs exp u can expect a profile of a sr consultant comin ur way at SIOM for that matter... others i cant comment... so thats how ur exp helps..

lookin at ur field the entire organisation is field with ops work from geting to improve ur supply chain for men, material etc to managing and streamling the entire process associated with it... depending whether ur in the office level or site level ops things differ.. u would know better thn me dude... mostly consulting firms related with construction benefit from ur expertise...

Operations Management (OM) is a specialized and emerging body of knowledge that facilitates the process of value delivery by improving productivity, quality, cost and supply chain cycle times and providing a broad array of high quality products and services.
or
"the field of study that focuses on the effective planning, scheduling, use, and control of a manufacturing or service organization through the study of concepts from design engineering, industrial engineering, management information systems, quality management, production management, inventory management, accounting, and other functions as they affect the organization"

As people think, operations is not restricted to one particular domain or function. Its is there in every function and activity that is happening in an organization.Be it the manufacturing, retail or services sectors such as IT, finance, logistics, transportation, health care or public utility or educational, the service delivery pipelines must be carefully designed, resourced and managed effectively and efficiently

for ex in manufacturing:
the typical work invovles right from procurement to order fulfillment. In logistics, finding out the best possible routes for transportation, assigning the right materials, etc., and making sure that processes involved are effective and efficient...
or in IT
Right from job creation till a project team is assigned , there comes the work for Operations manager. He will be responsible for getting the talents , measuring their performance, estimating the time periods, assinging teams to new projects, allocating resources(computers, workspace etc.,) to the new teams, co-ordinating with Delivery Head for client interaction and many more.(source: SKYLORK)

We deal and function in every domain u can think of and are the most imp part of an organisation... we are the blood for survival and fuctioning of every dept of the organisation... the imp of ops management is being recognised in every industry and is the fastest growin career segement today..

hi there,
my first post at PG..
thanx for the info first....

i have talked to several frnds of mine regarding OPs...
I was determined to pursue a operations MBA till that...
The cons that i have heard of are like
1. much less salary
2. pressures from both finance and marketing teams(ending up as a scapegoat)
3. slow growth

can u shed some light on the truth (if any) of these views??

would be grateful...its d frst time i am getting blurred in my career planning
