• 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 produced 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.
Operations are everywhere
