4Ms of Operations

Have you ever asked yourself what the products or services you buy have
undergone before availing them? They do not just pop up, do they? They have been
through a process for sure, even before they become a product or a service.
The process is what we call operations. The most important factors that
influence the operations and thus, the final result of business operations is
represented by 4Ms: Manpower, Method, Machine and Materials (Bao, 2019). The
quality of these 4Ms will determine the production of the business.
In the next lesson, we will discuss the functions of the 4Ms of operations in

What is It
1. Educational Qualifications
Activity A.
Method. The manner or the system of transforming raw materials into finished
product is called method (Aduana, 2016). The said raw materials go through several
phases before a product is completed and becomes ready for delivery to the target
customers.
1. Mode of Production. This refers to how the product will be manufactured. The
following system of production may be utilized in making the product of your
choice:
i. In a project method, the products are very large in size and there is
time constraint in the completion of the product. Examples are
construction of aircrafts, buildings, and vessels.
iii. In a batch method, the production goes through several stages and
the product is moved from a worker to another.
The intermittent production system includes the following
features:
3. Required Skills to Do the Work. This refers to the skills of the workforce that
will manufacture the products. The ones who are more skilled and more
experienced will most probably work faster than those who are new in the job.

Supply Chain
Activity C.
Select a potential supplier of raw materials and other inputs necessary for the
creation/ execution of your chosen product. Explain the reasons for choosing the
suppliers. Write your answers on your paper.
Developing Business Model
A successful business model simply needs to earn more than the cost to make
the product or service – profit. You do not have to create a new model to be an
effective businessperson, you could just adopt an existing model and execute it
accordingly to different target market.
Activity D.
total revenue
– total expenses
profit
The computation of profit is by deducting direct costs and indirect costs (also
known as overheads) from sales (Informi, 2020). Direct costs are expenses that
directly go into producing goods or providing services such as labor, materials and
other manufacturing supplies; while indirect costs are the general business expenses
that keep the business operational such as rent, utilities and general office expenses
(Blakely-Gray,2018).
Based on the normal accounting guidelines, sales and expenses are included
in profit on the day they occur, not on the day of actual payment so profit will include
credit sales and purchases even when they are not yet paid.
Here is an example:
A business buys 3,000 of stock in October and agrees to pay for it in
three months’ time. It sells the stock in the month in which it was purchased
(October) for5,000 cash. The profit for the month is 2,000. Even with the
reality that the stock was not paid for immediately is not important when
calculating profit.
