Dear malibu_girl,

I think ISB, INSEAD and HEC are possibilities for you, as well as other top 20 programs. It is always advisable to have at least one school outside the top 20 though for a back up plan though. Since your focus is operations, you will want to target programs with strong elective offerings in this area and/or connections to the manufacturing sector. In the US, you will find schools concentrated in the midwest and northeast that offer what you seek as they are located near clusters of the manufacturing industry.

Good luck,
Lisa
