Generally the operations people at good universities come from engineering or physics backgrounds. If you did HR I doubt you have the math required for acceptance into an ops PhD program. I could be wrong, but most operations people I've met doing their PhD are wizards with mathematics, and I have yet to meet someone who studied HR who can do basic statistics. If you think you have a sufficient math background then go for it, but if you haven't had a very rigorous mathematics education, then you may find yourself in over your head. That said, I'm certainly no expert when it comes to operations, and everything I have said comes just from personal observation, so it would probably be wise to contact a few schools and see what they say about the HR to ops transition. Good luck!
