What is ‘Operations’?

‘Operations’ function is the core of most
business organizations
Inputs are converted to Valuable outputs
after transformation process

10. Why Organizations need
Operations Manager
• An operations Manager controls the
processes by which value is added
from conversion of inputs to
outputs.
11. Production and Operations
Management
Production is the creation of
goods and services
Operations management (OM) is
the set of activities that creates
value in the form of goods and
services by transforming inputs
into outputs
13. Organizing to Produce Goods
and Services
Essential functions:
Finance/accounting – allocation of
resources, investment decisions,
tracks how well the organization is
doing, pays bills, collects the
money
Marketing – Front line activity,
generates demand
Production/operations – creates
the product
15. What Is Operations
Management?
Operations management (OM) is the area
of management which is concerned with
administration of business practices
especially overseeing, designing and
controlling the process of production
set of activities that creates value in the
form of goods and services by
transforming inputs into outputs with
maximum level of efficiency ensuring
profitability for the organization
16. Nomenclature
• Production Management
• Production and Operations Management
(POMA)
• Operations Management
• Operations Research (Interdisciplinary Subject)
17. Operations Research
Operations research is the development and
collection of techniques based on
mathematics and other scientific approaches
that finds solutions to your problems.
18. Difference between Operations
Management and Research
1. OR relies on mathematical
modeling and OM relies on practical
scenarios/industrial cases.
2. OR is domain and tool of Engineers
while OM is considered to be one of
the critical tools of Managers.
19. Why Study OM?
OM is one of three major functions
(marketing, finance, and operations)
of any organization
We want (and need) to know how
goods and services are produced
We want to understand what
operations managers do
OM is such a costly part of an
organization

22. The Critical Decisions
Design of goods and services
What good or service should we
offer?
How should we design these products
and services?
Managing quality
How do we define quality?
Who is responsible for quality?
Table 1.2 (cont.)
23. The Critical Decisions
Process and capacity design
What process and what capacity will
these products require?
What equipment and technology is
necessary for these processes?
Location strategy
Where should we put the facility?
On what criteria should we base the
location decision?
Table 1.2 (cont.)
24. The Critical Decisions
Layout strategy
How should we arrange the facility?
How large must the facility be to meet
our plan?
Human resources and job design
How do we provide a reasonable work
environment?
How much can we expect our
employees to produce?
Table 1.2 (cont.)
25. The Critical Decisions
Supply chain management
Should we make or buy this component?
Who are our suppliers and who can
integrate into our e-commerce program?
Inventory, material requirements
planning, and JIT
How much inventory of each item should
we have?
When do we re-order?
Table 1.2 (cont.)
26. The Critical Decisions
Intermediate and short–term
scheduling
Are we better of keeping people on
the payroll during slowdowns?
Which jobs do we perform next?
Maintenance
Who is responsible for maintenance?
When do we do maintenance?

29. Characteristics of Goods
Tangible product
Consistent product
definition
Production usually
separate from
consumption
Can be inventoried
Low customer
interaction
30. Service Definitions
• Services are deeds, processes or
performances.
OR
• A service is a time-perishable,
intangible experience performed for a
customer acting in the role of a co-
producer
31. Characteristics of Service
Intangible product
Produced and
consumed at same time
Often unique
High customer
interaction
Inconsistent product
definition
Often knowledge-based
Frequently dispersed
