What are Operations?
15
A manufacturer’s activities largely consist of purchasing raw
materials and turning those materials into actual products.
These activities include machining, milling, sandblasting,
painting, and assembling materials. All of these activities add
value to the product and the company overall.

What Is Operations Management?
18
Operations management is the administration of business
practices to create the highest level of efficiency possible
within an organization.
19
Some considerations:
20
A critical function of operations management relates to the
management of inventory through the supply chain.
21
The Supply Chain
▶ A global network of organizations and activities that
supply a firm with goods and services
▶ Members of the supply chain collaborate to achieve
high levels of customer satisfaction, efficiency and
competitive advantage.
▶ Planning
▶ Organizing
▶ Staffing
▶ Leading
▶ Controlling

The Approaches To Operations Management
38
THE OPERATION PROCESS
39
Though the primary function of both manufacturers
and service providers is to satisfy customer needs,
there are several important differences between the
two types of operations.
40
•Intangibility.
41
•Customization.
•Manufactured goods are generally standardized; one
twelve-ounce bottle of Pepsi is the same as any other
twelve-ounce bottle of Pepsi.
•Services, by contrast, are often customized to satisfy
the specific needs of a customer. When you go to the
barber or the hairdresser, you ask for a haircut that
looks good on you because of the shape of your face
and the texture of your hair.
•When you go to the dentist, you ask him or her to fill or
pull the tooth that’s bothering you.
42
•Customer contact.
•You could spend your entire working life assembling cars
in Detroit and never meet a customer who bought a car that
you helped to make.
•But if you were a waitress, you’d interact with customers
every day. In fact, their satisfaction with your product would
be determined in part by the service that you provided.
•Unlike manufactured goods, many services are bought
and consumed at the same time.
43
Operations Planning
44
Operations Processes
Service organizations succeed by providing services that
satisfy customers’ needs.
Companies that provide transportation, such as airlines, have
to get customers to their destinations as quickly and safely as
possible.
Companies that deliver packages, such as FedEx, must pick
up, sort, and deliver packages in a timely manner. Colleges
must provide quality educations.
Companies that provide both services and goods, such as
Domino’s Pizza, have a dual challenge: they must produce a
quality good and deliver it satisfactorily
45
Service providers that produce goods can, like
manufacturers, adopt either a make-to-order or a
make-to-stock approach to manufacturing them.
Like manufacturers, service providers must continuously
look for ways to improve operational efficiency.
Facilities
49
For instance, once planners find a site with an
acceptable traffic count, they apply other criteria.
50
Size and Layout
51
Capacity Planning
52
Like manufacturers, service providers must consider
many variables when estimating demand and capacity:
53
Soma variables to analyse:
- Level of uncertainaty
- Level of Responsiveness

Scheduling

Inventory Control
57
Key Conclusions:
58
* Operational efficiency is just as important in service
industries as it is in manufacturing.
59
* Service providers that produce goods can, like
manufacturers, adopt either a make-to-order approach
(in which products are made to customer satisfaction) or
make-to-stock approach (in which products are made for
inventory) to manufacturing them.
60
Relationship of Operations Management
The cost of goods sold is not the only area where costs
controls take place.
62
The sequence begins with basic suppliers of raw
materials and extends all the way to the final customer,
as in this figure:
63
Facilities might include warehouses, factories,
processing centres, offices, distribution centres, and
retail outlets.

Some Key questions:

73
Make-to-order and Make-to-stock
74
The disadvantage of this type of system is that it takes time
for the firm to acquire any materials and needed
components, and then to schedule and produce the
customers order. Goods are made in small amounts, and
may be more expensive.

What is an Operations Manager?
79
For example, in a clothing factory, an operations manager
coordinates all factors of production from beginning to end — they
oversee the entire operations, from ordering the materials for
garments, turning them into finished products, and shipping them
to customers.
