(BQ) Our goal is to make the subject of production and operations management (p/om) interesting, even exciting, to those who are embarking on a career that involves business of any kind. this includes the business of making profit, as well as notfor-profit applications. yes, P/OM applies directly to helping people who are under stress (as in humanitarian operations) as well as for everyone striving to have a better life. since P/OM capabilities deal equally with goods and services, the fields of hospitality, travel, healthcare, education, entertainment, and agriculture are as vital a part of its purview as manufacturing. |
