Operations is that unit (be it a division or department) of an organization that carries out the actual execution of the core operating functions.

For example:

  • in business administration, operations is responsible for the manufacture, delivery, and service of the products provided by the company
  • in large military units, operations is responsible for the movement and supply of troops in a theater of operation

Operations are also actions that can be carried out in a mathematics context, including arithmetic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, as well as additional algebraic operations such as factorisation on polynomials and rational expressions
