As discussed earlier, an operations manager has a number of diverse duties that cut across multiple domains. However, there are a few areas where they tend to specialise. For example, supply chain management involves monitoring, inventory control, and production and distribution. There’s also budget planning management, which relies on operations managers to oversee the evaluation and planning of operational budgets. Finally, Human Resources management requires operations managers who can decide on and implement the general protocol that employees must follow in a workplace.
