The goal of all organizations is to satisfy such customers in an efficient manner. This is the course's starting point and focus: it is about managing the systems that actually provide the goods and services. Because the operations function is at the heart of all business activity, the course is applicable to all types of business activity in both the private and public sectors.

Business operations management is critical to the success of any organization. Because every organization produces goods, services, or both, every organization has an operations function.

To accomplish this, the organization must first acquire resources, which could include skilled workers or materials. The resources must then be converted into outputs. Finally, it makes these products or services available to the intended consumers.
