Operations management strategies

The operations management strategy adopted by an organisation must be one
that supports the successful implementation of the organisation's overall
strategic plan. This resource looks at how operations management
strategies are implemented to achieve both organisational efficiency
and effectiveness.

The development of efficient and effective operating systems for any
organisation are based on management drawing up suitable solutions for:

* organisational capacity (How many products can be produced?)

* location (Where are the products to be produced?)

* process (Which production methods should be used?)

* layout (How should the work stations and equipment be arranged?)

* aggregate planning (What is the annual production plan for all
products or services to be produced?)

* master scheduling (How many of each product will be produced in a
specific time period eg. monthly?)

* materials requirement planning (What resources are needed to
meet the master schedule?)

The operations managment strategies outlined in this resource outline
specific tools organisations use to reach their set objectives. Let's begin
with aggregate planning.
