MBA in Operations
An operations specialization toward supply chain, process improvement, and business operations roles.
Where this leads
The confusion, addressed honestly
Operations MBAs sometimes hide from quantitative work or overclaim Six Sigma without examples. Hiring wants process maps, inventory/SLA stories, and continuous improvement with numbers. Plant/visit notes help. Empty lean jargon does not. Tie ops to cost, time, or quality outcomes. Campus drives still reward clear ownership stories over buzzword lists. Bring one artifact — sheet, deck, ticket trail, or project note — you can defend in depth.
