The best way to start understanding the nature of “Operations” is to look around you Everything you can see around you (except the flesh and blood) has been processed by an operation

Every service you consumed today (radio station, bus service, lecture, etc.) has also been produced by an operation

Operations Managers create everything you buy, sit on, wear, eat, throw at people, and throw away
