3. 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.

4. 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:

6. Contd…..
 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.

7. Model BehaviourControlling 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.

8. Model BehaviourControlling 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

9. Model BehaviourControlling 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)

10. Model BehaviourControlling 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, inte
r-intra personnel relationship and their
attitudes.

11. Model BehaviourControlling 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.
Controling
 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.
