The term 'operations management' (OM)is generally equivalent the terms 'management science', 'management engineering', 'operations research', 'system engineering', 'industrial engineering'.

OM must be in high demand by the upper management of all organizations. OM or Management science can be defined as a methodology for controlling and leveraging available resources (material, financial and human) aimed at best possible achieving the organization's performance objectives.

Traditional operations management is based on past experience, intuition, educated guesses, simple linear projections with the average values of input variables. In contrast, OM or management science is based on comparative outcomes of validated simulation models of organizations' functioning and their operations. Traditional management does not have a proper means to take into account the inevitable process variability, uncertainty, scale and interconnections that are critical for making sustainable and justified managerial decisions.

Some fundamental OM or management science principles have been developed. They play a role of the laws of physics in natural sciences. While the laws of physics cannot be violated, OM or management science principles can and are frequently violated. Unfortunately, many organizations pay a heavy price for doing so.

I think that you might be interested in taking a look at the published book chapter "Management science for healthcare applications" (attached) as well as the book"Healthcare Management Engineering..." - Who is this book for? and its Chapter 7 'Summary of some fundamental management engineering principles'-attached.

OM involves planning, organizing, coordinating, and controlling all the resources needed to produce a company's goods and services
