Operations Engineering and Management
Operations Engineering and Management is an area of technical management dealing
with the design and analysis of production and service processes. From an industrial
engineering viewpoint this knowledge area employs tools and techniques to ensure
business operations function efficiently, using as few resources as needed, and
effectively in meeting customer requirements.
