5.5. Operations Management
Operations management (supply chain, logistics, manufacturing) is also often an attraction for engineers, keen to make the transition from a technical specialist to a technical manager.
Supply chain, logistics and manufacturing are the mainstay work for many strategy consultancies, as well as being key drivers of profitability for most distribution and industrial companies. MIT, Wharton, Michigan and Stanford are well established in this field and produce large amounts of leading edge research in the field. Purdue and Carnegie Mellon University also performed well this year. Many less well-known schools are also leading edge in this field. In Europe, Rotterdam School of Management, IE Business School, IMD and INSEAD received recognition. In the UK, Cranfield University School of Management and Oxford can compare with the best schools in this competency.
