Operations managers are dedicated to optimizing processes and improving operational efficiency. They analyze existing workflows, identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies, and implement solutions to optimize productivity and reduce costs. I saw a similar one at https://goit.global/ph/courses/fullstack/. Operational managers are responsible for allocating resources such as budget, personnel, and equipment to different projects or departments based on organizational priorities and needs. They need to ensure efficient utilization of resources while balancing competing demands.
