This paper isa theoretical construction based on Operations Management and General Systems theory,intending to discuss and propose a new “architecture” for the strategic managementsystem of the operations function. The findings of the research project related in thispaper show the systemic representation of the functionalities and features that a strategicmanagement system for the operations function should develop to accomplish the relatedtask.
