Over the years, these companies realised that achieving excellence in managing their operations and processes would set them apart from and beyond their competitors and that their operations could, in fact, be their primary means of achieving competitive advantage in the long term. Of course, if we consider the operations as a significant means of gaining or maintaining competitiveness, then the inverse is also true. The lack of a clear operations strategy, or failing to link it to the overall strategy, can lead to the collapse of a company. Accordingly, operations managers are invited to step back from their day to day routines and think how to shape operations strategy to take the operations into a source of competitive advantage.
