Hello,

Under « domaines d’intervention » of an international relocation company
There is a section called “gestion opérationnelle”
Is this, "operational management", "operations management" or something else?

Please help!

operations management
Explanation:
That sounds right to my ear – perhaps influenced by past IT experience.

But here's a reference:
Martin Matthews Group, Inc. provides strategic development, operations management, process improvement, lean integration, project management, business consolidation, business expansion, and business relocation services.
http://www.hotfrog.com/Companies/Martin-Matthews-Group_18961...

And from the "Operations management" Wiki:
Operations management is an area of management concerned with overseeing, designing, controlling the process of production and redesigning business operations in the production of goods and/or services. [...] According to the U.S. Department of Education, operations management is the field concerned with managing and directing the physical and/or technical functions of a firm or organization, particularly those relating to development, production, and manufacturing.

Operations; operational management


Explanation:
Not 'operations management' ! -Just 'operations' on its own could work here possibly.
