Operations Management and Supply Chain Management
The two disciplines are hopelessly interconnected Your book talks about them separately but I’ll talk about them together
Operations Management (transformation – making things) Supply Chain Management (movement of things)
Value-added - the term used to describe the difference between the cost of inputs and the value of outputs Materials requirement planning (MRP) systems Make sure raw materials are available for the manufacturing process Supply chain – All parties and processes involved in procurement of raw materials and the distribution of finished goods
Transportation planning systems track and analyze the movement of goods (raw materials, work in progress, finished goods) JC Penney
Distribution management systems manage goods to distribution centers and to retail outlets
These systems are tightly coupled
Forecasting
Capacity planning
Locating facilities
Scheduling (and synchronizing) Raw materials, production, distribution
Managing inventory
Quality assurance
Plan Source (we buy goods used in the means of production) Make (we transform raw materials into finished goods) And the time it takes to transform resources (production) or move resources (distribution) Deliver (We get them where they are going) Return (Defective / unwanted goods come back to us)
