Chapter 1 Operations Management
Operations management is the activity of managing the resources that create and deliver
services and products. The operation function is one of the three core functions of any
organization. Responsible for the creation and delivery of services and products based on
customer requests.
Operations are everywhere:
➢ The best way to start understanding the nature of “operations” is to look around you.
➢ Everything you can see around you (except the flesh and blood) has been produced by
an operation.
➢ Every service you consumed today (radio station, bus service, lecture, etc.) has also been
produced by an operation.
➢ Operations Managers create everything you buy, sit on, wear, eat, and throw away.
Operations management uses:
- Machines to efficiently assemble products.
- People to effectively create services that will address current and potential client needs.
- Knowledge to effectively diagnose conditions to treat real and perceived patient
concerns.
- Ours and our partners’ resources to speedily provide supplies and services that relieve
community suffering.
- Our staff’s knowledge and experience to creatively present ideas that delight clients and
address their real needs.
Input-Transformation-Output Process
All operations create and deliver service and products
by changing inputs into outputs.
Most operation produce products and services
Operations management is just as
important in small organizations as it is in
large ones. All companies need to create
and deliver their service and products
efficiently and effectively.

o High variety implies high unit cost
• The implications of high and low VARIATION in operations and processes
o High variation in demand implies high unit cost

It is important to understand how different operation are positioned
on the four V’s

position?
