    There are three main stages to OMM, input, operations and output. Input consists of having the products customers will want on hand. The operations stage is how employees work together and independently to better the companies input and output. Output is the product or service itself (Jones, 2007). Subway, Fedders Corporation, and Driftstone Pueblo are companies that have completely different products but must maintain an OMM that functions properly to offer the best product and service to their customers. In order to function properly these companies must increase their productivity, quality of product, innovation of product, and their responsiveness to their customers, all while keeping costs low without allowing the product or service to suffer. If they are able to do this they will have a competitive advantage against their rival companies (Jones, 2007).…

    In a relatively short period of time the Japanese have been able to produce higher quality products that are more reliable and cost less than many competing products manufactured throughout the world.

If the intensive level of global competition brought about by the Japanese has highlighted one thing for American manufacturers, it is the importance of operations management activities in the competitive success of the firm. A number of writers have indicated that systematic participation in typical operations management activities may enable a firm to produce a realible, quality product at a competitive price.(1,2) However, most previous research in operations management has concerned itself with small-scale problems within the context of large firms.(3,4) This unduly restrictive focus has not provided the data to develop the strong conceptual framework needed to identify the interrelationships and impact of operations management on the total organization.(5) Thus, there is a general lack of system-wide research in operations management.…
