Operations ManagementBackgroundOperations management (OM) is the design, operations and improvement of the systems that create and deliver a firm's primary products and services. It uses the decision making tools of Operation Research and Management Science and is concerned with many of the same issues as Industrial Engineering but has a distinctive main management role. It is concerned with managing all of the individual processes in the firm's system as effectively as possible. Operations research (OR) which is OM's most direct parent applies a systematic (mathematical) approach to decision making, which seeks to determine how best to design and operate a system under constraints (both deterministic and stochastic) requiring the allocation of limited resources. Nowadays, OR deals with a large number of topics, including logistics, supply chain, decision sciences, scheduling, material resource planning etc. As OM is moving more and more into the domain of E-commerce, it is becoming an integral part of the MIS field.
Trend of Operations Management in MISThe phrases chosen were: "Operations Management", "Production Management", "Supply Chain", "Scheduling" and "Inventory Management". These phrase try to capture the research topics Operations Management has been dealing with for the past decades (Production and inventory management) along with more recent ones (Supply chain). ![]() ![]() Looking at the time line and the graph together it can be seen that Supply Chain" which was virtually non existent before the 90's has boomed in the last decade. In contrast, topics such as Scheduling and Inventory Management which were very popular research topics as computers became more widespread and accessible in the 70's declined rapidly in the mid 80's as interest shifted (and remained steady since). On the aggregate level, despite the huge rise of interest in Scheduling in the mid 70's and the similar decline rate in the mid 80's, there seem to be a steady rise in research activity with Supply Chain as the leading field in recent years.
