business operation

Company's daily work

A business operation is a core activity that keeps a company functioning—manufacturing, sales, logistics, customer service.

Usually plural: The company moved its operations overseas.

Operations can refer to the department managing these activities: She works in operations.

A smooth operation runs efficiently; operational problems threaten the whole enterprise.
