From the Paper:

"While arriving at my own personal definition of operations management, of what it means, of what it consists of, and of what it entails, I was fortunate to find the following explanation on the website for the Technology & Operations Management Institute: Operations management is about the way organizations produce goods and services. Everything you wear, eat, sit on, use, read or knock about on the sports field comes to you courtesy of the operations managers who organized its production. Every book you borrow from the library, every treatment you receive at the hospital, every service you expect in the shops and every lecture you attend at university - all have been produced (Twigg, 2005)."
