In this sentence

The factory is in the (process - operation) of moving to new offices

I think it is "process" but my teacher told me that it's "operation" ... So which one is correct?

  • I think that progressive aspect already conveys the "process".

    Note that X is in operation means X works (it's up and running; functioning as intended). But X is in process is a fairly common alternative to X is in progress (it's being developed / fixed, probably so that it will be functional at some future time).

Process is correct there, not operation. It refers to a series of actions you take to achieve something in your example sentence.
