The modern global marketplace is marked by the presence of stiff competition. Companies operating in the market employ an array of strategies to build and sustain a competitive edge. The competitiveness of a firm depends on not only the ability to develop high quality products that solve a specific customer needs, but also deliver those products to the end consumer in the right condition, and at the right place, time and price. The operations management is one of the most important domains in the business management process, which determines the extent to which the firm can deliver the finished product to the end consumer, and fully satisfy the customer’s needs.
