PRODUCTION
AND
OPERATIONS
MANAGEMENT
Ways of production
 Production by disintegration:- by separating
the contents of crude oil or a mixture the
desired products are produced. Ex:- Salt
production.
 Production by Integration:- various
components of the products are assembled
together to get the desired product. Ex:-
Assembly of 2 wheelers etc.
 Production by Service:- Chemical and
mechanical properties of materials are
improved without any physical change . Ex:-
Heat treatment of metals.
Objectives of Production
 To produce right quality
 To produce right quantity
 To maintain right time
 To ensure right manufacturing cost.
Classification of Production
 Job Shop Production :- refers to the
manufacturing facility that produces several
different products in smaller batches. Ex:- A
machine shop.
 Batch Production :- in groups.
 Mass Production :- Processing of uniform
products in large quantities using
interchangeable parts and machinery. Either
wholly automated or a series of short,
repetitive procedures.
 Continuous production :- without interruption.

The Ten Decision Making Areas
The foundation of OM relies heavily on the operation
manager’s ability to make effective and timely assessments in
the ten strategic decision areas. The ten areas include:
 Goods and service design
 Quality management
 Process and capacity design
 Location
 Layout design
 Human resources and job designs
 Supply-chain management
 Inventory, material requirements planning and JIT.
 Intermediate and short-term scheduling
 Maintenance.
Definition of Production and
Operation management
According to Professor S.N. Charvy, “ Production
and operation management” as “ one which
provide the desired utility or utilities of forums,
place, possession or state or a combination
these off to the customer while meeting the
other organisational goals of effectiveness
efficiency and adaptability. It distinguishes itself
from other functions sucha s personnel,
marketing etc., by its primary concern for
conversion by using physical resources”.

 Creation of goods or services
 Customer service
 Profit
 Evaluation
 Tasks
 Fulfillment
 analysis
Automation
 Meaning:- it refers to the use of computers
and other automated machinery for the
execution of business-related tasks.
Automated machinery may range from
simple sensing devices to robots and
other sophisticated equipment.
Mechanization
 Itinvolves replacement of manual labour
by deploying machines still the control will
be exercised by a supervisor.
 Ex:- Clocks were some of the most
complex early mechanical devices.
Different types of Automation
tools
 ANN :- Artificial neural network
 DCS :- Distributed Control System
 HMI :- Human Machine Interface
 SCADA :- Superviosry Control and Data
Acquisition
 PLC :- Programmable Auotmation Controller
 PLC:- Programmable Logic Controller
 Instrumentation
 Motion control
 Robotics
Rationalization
 Meaning:- Refers to any action that increases
the effectiveness of allied forces through
more efficient or effective use of defense
resources committed to the alliance.
Rationalization includes consolidation,
reassignment of national priorities to higher
alliance needs, standardization, specialization
and greater cooperation. Rationalization
applies to both weapons and or non-
weapons military matters.
