Morphology
This is a straightforward adjective + noun combination: 'consecutive' (occurring in an unbroken series) modifying 'operation' (a procedure), so the meaning — an operation that follows another in sequence — is directly derivable from the parts. The composition follows standard English noun phrase rules and is cross-linguistically transparent, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily understand it.
Etymology
The phrase consecutive operation paints a simple picture: imagine a line of dominoes or a factory belt where each operation happens right after the one before it, not at the same time. That's why it means 'things done in order'.
