Operation vs. Production
How the business runs day-to-day versus what it actually makes.
The comparisoni
“Our operations team handles HR and payroll — production is where we actually build the product.”
The ruleii
¶
OPERATIONS = run. PRODUCTION = make.
OPERATIONS covers all day-to-day running of the business — logistics, HR, processes, support. PRODUCTION specifically means manufacturing or creating the deliverable. Production is one part of operations.
Memory aidiii
Remember it like this
Operations keeps running. Production makes.
