Operations management is ubiquitous. Its principles are as important in making a cup of tea as they are in launching a space shuttle. Operations management is not a popular course among management graduates because they perceive it as a quantitative or a technology course. They believe it will restrict their career choices. However, more than at any other time in industrial history, a company`s success today depends on the superiority of its products/services. Customers are no longer dependent on a company`s advertisements and salespeople to learn about its offerings. Therefore, a company`s survival and prosperity are dependent on its ability to design and produce superior products/services. Rapidly changing customer needs and technologies are making product life cycles shorter than ever, forcing companies to make their innovation processes more efficient. And it is not that a company can splurge to make its customers happy customers want lots of benefits and features but are reluctant to pay for them. Hence, the focus is on resource utilization: equipment must be used 24 × 7 and employees must be put in jobs where they add maximum value.

The purpose of writing this book is to demystify operations management. It is neither a quantitative course nor a technology course, but it is a course that all management graduates must study. This book will enable them to ask right questions when they become decision makers in their companies.
