What is Operations Management?
- Every business is managed through 3 major function: finance, marketing and operations
management.
The figure illustrated this by showing that the vice presidents of each of these functions report directly to the
president or CEO of the company.
- Finance is the function responsible for managing cash flow, current assets, and capital
investments.
- Marketing is responsible for sales, generating customer demand, and understanding
customer want and needs.
- Operations management is the business function that plans, organizes, coordinates, and
controls the resources needed to produce a company’s goods and services.
Operations Management (OM) = the business function responsible for planning, coordinating, and controlling the
resources needed to produce a company’s goods and services.
o It is a management function.
§ It evolves managing people, equipment, technology, information, and many
other resources.
o It is the central core business function of every company
§ All the other organizational functions are there primarily to support the
operations function.
• Without operations, there would be no goods or services to sell. The
marketing function provides promotions for the merchandise, and
the finance function provides the needed capital. The operations
function, however, plans and coordinates all the resources needed to
design, produce, and deliver the merchandise to the various retail
locations.

Role of Operations Management:
- To transform a company’s inputs into the finished goods or services.
o Inputs:
§ Human resources (such as workers and managers), facilities and processes
(such as buildings and equipment), as well as materials, technology, and
information.
§ A lot of different inputs that creates output (goods or services) through the
transformation process.
o Output:
§ The goods and services a company produces
§ The finished goods
• A car for example (which are a lot of different inputs together)
• A consumer is willing to pay more for an output than for all inputs
separately, because the consumer is looking for a car that rides, not
all components separately)
- The transformation Process: transforming input into output
o At a factory the transformation is the physical change of raw materials into products,
such as transforming leather and rubber into sneakers, denim into jeans, or plastic
into toys.
§ At an airline it is the efficient movement of passengers and their luggage
from one location to another.
§ At a hospital it is organizing resources such as doctors, medical procedures,
and medications to transform sick people into healthy ones.
o Operations management is responsible for orchestrating all the resources needed to
produce the final product.
§ Including deciding what resources are needed to produce, designing the jobs
to make the product, and designing work methods.
à Operations management is responsible for all aspects of the process of
transforming inputs into outputs.
