INTRODUCTION TO PRODUCTION AND OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
Content of module: Introduction to production and operations management, definition of ‘production’ and ‘operations’ management, meaning, scope and history of evolution.
INTRODUCTION TO PRODUCTION AND OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
Production is the process by which raw materials and other inputs are converted into finished products. Production and operations management (POM) is the management of an organization’s production system. A production system takes inputs and converts them into outputs. The conversion process is the predominant activity of a production system. The primary concern of an operations manager is the activities of the conversion process.
Production/operations management is the process, which combines and transforms various resources used in the production/operations subsystem of the organization into value added product/services in a controlled manner as per the policies of the organization. Therefore, it is that part of an organization, which is concerned with the transformation of a range of inputs into the required (products/services) having the requisite quality level.
There are three ways of Production, they are:
(i) Production by Disintegration: By separating the contents of Crude oil or a mixture the desired products are produced. For example the crude oil is disintegrated into various fuel oils.
Similarly salt production is also an example for product produced by disintegrated. We can use
Mechanical or Chemical or both technologies to get the desired product, so that it will have desired use value.
(ii) Production by Integration: In this type of Production various Components of the products are assembled together to get the desired product. In this process, Physical and Chemical Properties of the materials used may change. The examples are: Watch, Assembly of Two wheelers, Four wheelers and so on.
(iii) Production by Service: Here the Chemical and Mechanical
