Hi!!
I am starting this thread for all those who are really interested to go in for ops.
Well I am definitely one of them! I request all those who are into ops and who plan to take it this year, to please join in and keep the thread going.

I wish people who are already into ops to please guide us about the various requisites to get into the top institutes and which are the top institutes providing ops? NITIE, IIMs, JBIMS ............??

Mr. girish..
i understand ur concern about choosing a B school which is good at OPs.
But don't prepare for MBA exams n apply for only those intitutes.
I am telling you, I was just like you last year.
But after coming here, I understood that the decision of choosing a specialisation depends on many other parameters. Now, I am open for all the specialisations.

First, prepare well for the test, GD & PI. Don't think of any specialisation as of now (I am assuming that you don't have any experience in Operations related work)

And anyway, all the institutes that u mentioned above require a good CAT percentile anywhere from 97 percentile to 99.99 percentile. That everybody knows. So, pls keep the same in mind before starting new thread.

Alternatively, what you could have done was to visit the NITIE thread and asked the same question there.

Good luck for your future endeavors..

Mate... let it rest.

If people are interested, they'll ask questions. Then you may answer them. People around here are smart enough to search threads relevant to their queries, or to start them.

Till then, please refrain from pinging dead threads every now and then. Consider this as friendly advice. In case the mods are not too happy with your incessant & unrequired pinging, they may just not be that friendly.

Regards,
Grondmaster

Aye aye Mate!!

I truely appreciate and respect ur concern.... however u mus also understand that every year along the same time newbies come into PG nad have no idea on how things work out here.. i was the same last year... Besides that this thread was started for people to discuss certain issues regarding Ops management... i m nt here to promote anything but m lookin for some genuine discussion with people who are in the field or interested in the field.. and instead of starting a new thread each time i want info on this, i would want people to come in and talk here itself...

No other forum atracts as many visitors as PG, thus we have more no. of people visiting with the right kinda experience... so i find no reason for MODS to disagree with my effort to string up a few people who might be also new out here to bring this thread alive, cause i believe threads are not created to be wasted...

still if u feel that its a waste of time for PG then i would surely rest my case....and thanks for the warning... i would appreciate it better when MODS send in a PM or post here itself citing thier apprehensions... cause that would be a more genuine concern and i would be able to understand PG and its functions better...

Thanks anyways...

hoping to see some genuine participation here rather more allegations and counters...

All the best

1.What does operations management mean ?
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..
