production/operation manager?

FUNCTIONS OF POM- By Birodh Adhikari SSMC

Functions of POM
Being the component of the organization,
POM is concerned with the organizational
goal.
Production/operation manager seeks to
optimum utilization of the resources
(inputs).
The most functions of the POM is
decision making concerned with the
production function.

Functions of POM
Production/operation management is a
component of organization which concerned
with the creation of utility in raw materials
through conversion process.
As a part of management, it has following
functions:
 Planning:
Organizing:
Controlling:
Behaviour:
Models:

Functions of production operation
management can be enclosed in a
frame of general management
function.
PO managers are concerned with
planning, organizing, and
controlling the activities affect
human behaviour through models.

Model Behaviour Controlling Organizing Planning
PLANNING
Activities that establishes a course of action
and guide future decision-making is called
planning.
POM defines the objectives for the POM
subsystem of the organization
It defines the policies, and procedures for
achieving the objectives.
This stage includes clarifying the role and
focus of POM in the organization’s overall
strategy.
It involves product planning, facility
designing and using the conversion process.

Model Behaviour Controlling Organizing Planning ORGANIZING
Activities that establishes a structure of tasks and
authority is called organizing.
POM establish a structure of roles and the flow of
information within the POM subsystem.
POM determine the activities required to achieve
the goals and assign authority and responsibility for
carrying them out.
It includes:
 Job design
 Work Measurement
 Project Management

Model Behaviour Controlling Organizing Planning CONTROLLING
Activities that assure the actual performance in
accordance with planned performance is called
Controlling.
To ensure that the plans for the POM subsystems
are accomplished, the PO manager must exercise
control by measuring actual outputs and comparing
them to planned operations management.
Controlling costs, quality, and schedules are the
important functions for POM.
 Material Control
 Material requirement planning (MRP)

Model Behaviour Controlling Organizing Planning BEHAVIOUR

Human aspect on the job is called behaviour.

PO managers are concerned with how their
efforts to plan, organize, and control affect
human behaviour.
They also want to know how the behaviour of
subordinates can affect management’s planning,
organizing, and controlling actions.
The behaviour is affected by the leadership,
motivation, communication, inter-intra
personnel relationship and their attitudes.

 Controling Organizing Planning MODELS

 The techniques which are used for problem solving is

called Models.
 As a process of plan, organize, and control the conversion
process, PO manager encounter many problems and must
make many decisions.
 S/he can simplify their difficulties using models.
Model Behaviour Controlling

 The models are:

 Aggregate planning models for examining how best to use
existing capacity in short-term.
 Break even analysis to identify break even volumes.
 Linear programming and computer simulation for capacity
utilization.
 Decision tree analysis for long-term capacity problem of
facility expansion.

…………POM is a part of general
management and it performs
Planning, Organizing, Controlling
the production process by the
affecting human Behaviour through
different mathematical and
quantitative Models in decision
making……..
