Successful implementation of a business strategy requires thorough understanding of the ways in which goods and services are produced. The arrangement of resources required for the production of a company's output is the core task of operations managers. Historically, operations managers have seen their main responsibility lying within their own operation. However, increasingly they now have to look beyond this traditional internal view, if they want to manage their operations effectively. This introduces a wide variety of logistics challenges. For example, in many industries an increasing number of services and materials is obtained from outside specialist suppliers. This, in turn, means that the way in which businesses manage the supply of products and services to their operations greatly increases in importance. Similarly, at the demand side of the business, the way in which the distribution chain is managed contributes to an operation's ability to serve its customers. In this Master's programme the execution of a company's primary processes, including operational linkages with suppliers and distributors, is thus the central topic. This and more information can be found on the website of Tilburg University.
