Concentration
Since its inception, Operations Management has contributed billions
of dollars in benefits and savings to corporations, government, and
the nonprofit sector. OM is used and represented in almost all
industries such as hi-tech, chemical, auto, airlines, health care,
law enforcement, the military, the stock market, and
telecommunications. With the global nature of business where
competition involves working cohesively with diverse and dispersed
partners, OM offers the crucial techniques and strategies for
logistical and operational synchronization.
Specifically, Operations Management here at Rutgers University,

Chain Management, Quality Management, Managing Global Operations,
