Production Management is a popular topic in many disciplines such as Engineering, Economics or even Maths. 

It is also known as "Operations Management", even if this term means more in general the management of all the productive processes of a company.

Production Management started to be a topic of merely manufacturing systems, but now many techniques and methods are applicable to service companies.

In fact, we refer to decisions, processes, tools and information that determines what to supply, to produce and to sell a product or to deliver a service, with the final aim to optimize the performance of the company and to create a competitive advantage.
