- In exam: Could you define an operation from a case?
- Operations: refers to a transformation mechanism in business, consisting of four
components:
o Inputs
o Transformation process: adds/creates value, how resources are used. A mechanism
that gets inputs, transforming them to create outputs (products/services).
o Control
o Outputs
- Operations are continuously working, therefore, you want to control to make the output
constant and improve.
Manufacturing example: ASML -> semi-conductor industry. Input here is raw material.
Operations > Supply Chain > Industry > Sectors > Economy > Global Economy
Supply Chain Management:
- Because a set of businesses (each having operations) companies are connected.
- Everyone provides/connected through supply.
- You need a lot of investment if you are going to do the total supply chain. Therefore, we need
more companies in a supply chain. Also because of expertise and efficiency.
- We name supply chains in names of echelon: supplier, manufacturer, wholesaler, retailer. You
DON’T count customers.
- The origin of supply chain: upstream (on the left). Where the customers are is called: down-
stream (on the right).
- Dark side supply chain: wars, climate change, political changes.
Each supply chain has three flows:
- Flow of product/materials: through transportation. Moves from upstream to downstream.
When you don’t like the product, you bring it back.
- Cash flow.
- Information flow.
When companies have the same functionality: Horizontal integration.
Supply chain Vs. Operations management:
- Operations exists in all business companies.
- Supply chain is broader concept because it consists of companies with operations.
- What we supply is equivalent to market demand.
Operations strategy:
- Make the decision that has the lowest costs.
