What aspect of operations management is the most important for a business? Think about jobs you have had, and consider if you think there is an aspect of the job that seemed to be more critical than others? Does one stand out? Was the task of getting the supplies/materials/products to the business a problem? Were there shortages in inventory? Was distribution a problem at the places you have worked? Were products damaged in transit while being shipped? Maybe your job was at the retail level selling directly to the consumer, so was employee-management relations a hot topic? Was there a shortage in manpower? Were there too many employees, thus many of them were just wasting time? Explain your thoughts and try to be convincing.
