Attraverso il termine anglosassone di operations, praticamente privo di traduzione in italiano, ci si riferisce a tutte quelle funzioni di una impresa coinvolte, in senso lato, nella messa a disposizione per il cliente di un determinato prodotto o servizio.
In questo senso, oltre alla funzione di "produzione" risultano coinvolte, ad esempio, anche la "logistica", la "progettazione", la "ricerca & sviluppo".
