The heart of Operational Management is the implementation of situation specific control and reporting systems and procedures that eliminate or substantially reduce waste, loss and inefficiencies in the operating environment of a business.
Today, more than ever before, business executives with both line and staff responsibilities and the accounting and consulting professionals who advise and guide them, must become more sophisticated in the philosophies, knowledge and specific skills of operational management techniques necessary to maximize business profitability. This is for good reason. The world is changing. In order to survive, American business must become smarter and more efficient in the way it conducts business. It has to. Smart business leaders expect more from themselves, their own management team and their professional advisors. This means these executives must have the skills and training necessary to determine where operational problems exist, the extent to which these problems are reducing profitability and the actions necessary to eliminate the problems and optimize operating profits.
