Operations and Supply Chain Management

    Competitiveness constitutes a key success factor for any contemporary business activity. However sustaining and enhancing business competitiveness involves producing and offering the right product, at the right time, the right place and at the right price and conditions. Operations and Supply Chain Management contributes substantially to this goal through designing and managing the integrated process of manufacturing and delivering products and/or services to markets. In particular, Operations Management aims at designing and managing the operations for producing products and/or services in an efficient and cost-effective way. Supply Chain Management aims at designing and managing the flow of materials, products, and information from suppliers to end-customers in order to offer the products and/or services at the desired time and place and at the minimum logistics cost. Integrated management of business operations and supply chain activities is envisaged in all industries.
