It is an area of management which is concerned with overseein designing, and controlling the process of production and redesigning business operations in the production of goods and/or services. It involves the responsibility of ensuring that business operations are efficient in terms of using resources conservatéely, and effectively in order to meet customer's requirements. In fact it is concerned with managing thaprocess that converts inputs (in the forms of materials, labor, and energy)into outputs (in the form of goods and/or services). In short the set of interrelated management activities, which are involved in manufacturingyf certain products, is called as production managementand if the same concept is extended to services management, then the corresponding set of management activities is called as opations management. a) [DEVELOPMENT OF PRODUCTION FUNCTION > AN OVERVIEW OF PRODUCTION MANAGEMENT What is Production Management? Production: : an : The word production is described in various dictionaries as the act of producingmanufacturing, creation of an artistic work, a literacy production, and a presentation- as of a play or other artistic performance. Thus meaning of the word production for all practical purposes & “Creation of a Utility and/or Services”. Management: qe word management is described in the various dictionaries as managing or handling, control, direction, administrative skill, act or art of managing, to conduct the working of, ‘Thus word management for all practical purposes & “Art of Managing”. Production Management Combining both the above definitions productionmanagement is “The Art of Managing the Production”. It basically concerns itself with the conversion of inputs into outputs [TRODUCTION TO PRODUCTION & OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT AND PRODUCTION F 'UNCTION Production / operations management is the process, whichintegrates and transforms various pratuces used in the production/ operations subsystem of the organization intovalue added Product / services in a controlled and organized manner as per the policies and plans of the Qrganization. Therefore, it is that part of an organization, which is concerned sith the fransformation of a range of inputs into the required outputs (products / services) having the requisite quality level. oe Geommed suliee Bo act of persisted ceumgecon gcciviie, which me beeteed in manufacturing certain products, is called as production managementand if the same concept is extended to services management, then the corresponding set d management activities ie celle] as operations management. Brief History: jf over two centuries’ production and operations management has been recognized as an important factor in ay country’s economic growth. att traditional view of manufacturing management began in eighteenth century whentdam Smith recognized the economic benefits of ‘Specialization of Labour’. Ile. recommended breaking of jobs down into subtasks and recognizingworkers to specialized tasks inwhich they would become highly skilled and efficient. In the early twentieth century, F.W. Taylor implemented Smith’s theories and developed ‘Scientific Management’, From then till 1930, many techniqueswere developedand prevailed as the traditional view. Production managementbecame the acceptable term from 1930s to 1950s. As. W. Taylor’s works become more widely known, managers developed techniques thafocused on economic efficiency in manufacturing. Workers studied in great deail their work to eliminate wasteful efforts and achieve greater efficiency. At the same time, psychologists, socialists andother social scientists began to study people and human behaviour in the working environment addition, economists, mathematicias, and computer socialists contributed newer, more sophisticated analytical approaches. From 1970s two distinct changes emerged in our views. First and the most obvious of these, reflected in the new name ‘operations management’. This was a shift in the service and manufacturing sectors of the economy. As service sector became more prominent, thechange from ‘production’ to ‘operations’ emphasized the broadening of our field to service organizations. The second, moresuitable change was the beginning of an emphasis orfsynthesis, rather than just analysis’, in management practices. PRODUCTION Creation of Utilities and Services Utilities Production Services Production (Manufacturing Industry) (Service Industry) MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES Manufacturing industry refers to those industries which are involved in the manufacturing and processing of items and indulge in either creation of new commodities or in achieving value addition. The manufacturing industry accounts for a significant share of the industrial sector in developed countries. The final products either serves as a finished goods for sale to customers’ ot as intermediate goods used in the production process. Output of manufacturing industries are mainly tangible products. All electrical appliances, automobiles, textiles, furniture, chemicals, etc. are examples of manufacturing products. SERVICE INDUSTRY Any business, trade, profession or organization that provides services to others instead of manufacturing goods or agriculture products is service industry. Service products by nature are intangible products. Health care and entertainment business, law firms and educational institutes and colleges are examples of Service Industries. BASIC DIFFERENCES BETWEEN GOODS AND SERVICES | PHYSICAL GOODS SERVICES ] (UTLITY PRODUCTS) (SERVICE PRODUCTS) | Tangible Not Tangible _ | Homogeneous Heterogeneous | Production and distribution are separated from | Production, distribution and consumption are | consumption : simultaneous process | ‘A physical thin ‘An activity or process Core value produced in the factory Core value produced in buyer-seller - interactions Customers do not participate in the production | Customers participate in the production | process = | Can be kept in stock Can'tbe stocked | Transfer of ownership = No transfer of ownership 17 CHARACTERISTICS OF SERVICES: Basic characteristics of services are as follows: 1 INTANGIBILITY: Services are intangible in nature; it is difficult to experience their benefits before they are bought. They are not a physical object. The buyer lacks the opportunity to see, touch, hear, smell or taste before they buy, enjoy or use the services. 2. INSEPERABILITY: Services and their provider are closely associated and hence are not separable; they are often interlinked with one another. Donald Cowell while describing ‘The marketing of Services’ says “Goods are produced, sold and then consumed, whereas services are sold, produced and then consumed.” cy PERISHABILITY: Services are linked to time factor. Services have a high levelof Perishability and they cant be stored, or re-use them with effective returns. Services are also perishable with related time. Any services proviéd are usually limited with a particular time period agreed between service provider and service receiver. 4. DIVERSITY / HETROGENEITY: Services are diversified in nature. Same type of. services cannot be sold to all the consumers, even if they pay the same price. It is impossible to set any standard for any service. 5. OWNERSHIP: A service is an activity or benefit that one party canoffer to another, which is essentially intangile, and does not result in theownership of anything. 6. QUALITY DIMENSION: Quality aspect is the nucleus of any service dealing. The service industry requires a measurable tool for qualitymeasurement. The service provided can be measured as per the level of satisfaction at which the customersare satisfied. Services can be distinguished on the quality of services provided by the service provider to the serviceeceiver. 1 FLEXIBILTY / NATURE OF DEMAND: Services are often related to flexibility. Nature of service is often fluctuating for instance; themobility of passenger isincreased during the vacation time. Tourists go tohill stations during the summer season hene it is a high time for travel and tourism industry. Whereasrainy season is often considered as anoff-season. This clearly indicates that flexibility is an essential dimensiorof the service industry. SERVICES DOMINATE THE MODERN ECONOMY: ‘The service sectoris going through almost revolutionary change, which dramatically affects the way in which we live and work. New services are launched to satisfy our existing needs and to meet needs that we did not even know we had. Services make up the growing bulk of tody’s economy and also account for most of the growth in new jobs. The size of the service sector is increasing in almost all the economies around the world. Even in emerging economies, service output is growing rapidly and often represents at least half of the GDP. In developed countries, knowledge based services, defined as those that are intensive users of high technology and/or have relatively high skilled work forces are providing the most dynamic components. In numerous countries, increased productiviy and automation in agriculture and industry, combined with growing demand both for new and traditional services, have jointly resulted in a continuing increase over time in the percentage of the labour force that is employed in services. ‘There is a hidden service sector within many large corporations that are classified by government statisticians as being in manufacturing, agricultural, or natural resources industri s. These so \ 18 vncto , \ i ivitic ing recruitnent, j, it i ide range of activities including _ rec al called ine services cover a wide ange of ssivites including eet. pan resource developmen agement, advertisement and publicity, resagft aintenance, SU} g s ad pr ; eee and many other kinds of services. In recent tim, organizations are increasingly | Shoosing to outsource the intemal services that can be performed more efficiently by a spevaig subcontractor. [Among the forces that shape service markets are government poliies, social changes, business trends, advanees in information technology and internationalization/globalization. 1, Government Polices: ; = Change in regulations + Privatization New rules to protect Customers, Employees and the Environment « New agreements on trades in service 2. Social Changes: Rising Consumer Expectations " More Affluence "More People- Short of Time * Increased desire for buying Experiences Vs Things * Rising ownership of computers and Mobile Phones. = Immigration 3. Business Trends: * Manufacturers Add Value through Service and sell Services More Strategic Alliances Marketing Emphasis by Nonprofits Relaxation of Professional Association Standards Quality Movement Emphasis on Productivity and Cost Savings Growth of Franchising * Innovative hiring practices 4, Advances in Information Technology: Convergence of Computers and Telecommunications Greater Bandwidth + Miniaturization creates more Compact Mobile Equipment * Wireless networking + Faster more Powerful Software Digitization of Text, Graphics, Audio and Video Growth of the Internet 5. Internationalization: More Companies operating on Transnational Basis f Increased Intemational Travel Intemational Mergers and Alliances WHY IS THE SERVICE SECTOR GROWING? REASONS FOR GROWTH OF SERVICE SECTOR: 1. Affluence: The increase in per capita income has left the ifividuals with more surplus funds. Itis not only indicator of the increase in general affluence level but has resulted in increased purchasing power for individuals empowering them to seck services not availed hence before by them, giving rise to such sewices. : | 19 2. Leisure Times: People are now days keen on spending some time to travel and holiday and therefore there is spurt in the economy of pleasure and travel sectors. 3. Life Expectancy: The health programs have significantly contributed to an increase in life expectancy, giving rise to services like old age homes, nursing home health caretc. Health Consciousness: As health consciousness is becoming widespread services such as health clubs, dieticians, gyms, yoga, meditationetc. have come up. Working Women: As more and more women work the need for day care for children has increased and also of packed and ready to use food and home delivery. Product Complexity: A large number of product: are now being purchased in households which can be serviced only by specialized technicians, giving rise to repairs and maintenance service providers. Life’s Complexity: As the daily routine gets busier, individuals find it difficult to manage things on their own. These leads rise to services of tax consultants, legal advisors, property dealers, investment advisorsetc. Resource Scarcity and Ecology: As the natural resources are depleting and need for conservation is increasing, consultants for water mangement, alternate energy such as wind and solar powered energy sources are increasing. ‘New Produets: The development in Information Technology has given rise to services like IT related educational, training and awarenessprograms, Mass Medias and Audio Video and TV have pushed the exponential growth in the entertainment sectors. 10.Increased Need for Communication: Progressive economy has created never before urgencies of communications. This has increased demands for PCOs, Cyber Cafes, Cellular phone providers etc. Why it is necessary to study production and operations management? Is it necessary to study the subject of Production and Operations Management even if one is not interested in manufacturing business or activities? It has been explained earlier that “PRODUCTION” is not restricted to only manufcturing activities as normally visualized. End products of production system may result into finished components or consumer products, completed paper work or documentations, serviced customers or serviced patients. In short it has to be some kind of value added* products so that outputs are worth more than just the sum of individual inputs. Peter Ferdinand Drucker (November 19, 1909 — November 11, 2005): He was an Austrian-born American managementconsultant, educator, and author, whose writings contributed to the philosophical and practical foundations of the modern business corporatiorHe was also well-known for providing leadershipin the development of management education He has wonderfully defined the meaning of‘Production.’ Definition of Production as per Peter Drucker is as follows: According to Peter Drucker “Production is not the application of tools to materials but is the application of logic to work.” ‘Small Story: alt} ‘ i shru, an eminent lawyer and: the Se ribune, it was) Motilal Nebr.

Objectivity of all production system is always to do Value Additionwhich helps organizations to bring the profit. Value equalization results into no loss-no profit, as if the organization is running for charity, even charitable organ s aim to do Value Addition so thathey can serve more and more beneficiaries. Opposite to Value Addition is Value Subtractions, which results into organization running into bss, if the concemed organization for whatever reason, does not take quick remedial steps to reverse the situation and start bringing Value Additions i the countdown for the organization towards getting finished. Obviously we all may be falling in any one or both of these categories and involved in the Production funetion. Hence itis very vita and important to know all aspeets ofthis management Science with proper depth and detail and empower us with the skills of production managemerto SEE as 8 Versatile and efficient managert will not be out of place to mention that production is Omnipresent in every activity we camry out and hence it is also Known ae operations Marae.
