The much anticipated iPhone X from Apple was finally released early this month. It was surprising to see how many people lined up to buy the new phone, seemingly unawed by the $1000 price tag to acquire the new phone. Huge lineups could be witnessed in all the Apple-owned stores globally. After seeing this, I wondered, how does the most valuable company in the world manage this? How does it satisfy the demand of the market without running out of supply? These questions remind me of COMM101’s Operations Class, where I remember we were taught that operations is concerned with all processes involved in creating a product or delivering a service. I believe Apple’s success in the technological industry lies in its Operations.
