growing demand while maintaining high
quality standards second better customer
satisfaction operations management also
improves customer satisfaction when
products are produced efficiently and
delivered on time customers are more
likely to have a positive experience

satisfaction third reduced costs one of
the biggest benefits is cost reduction
