Operation Management Issues

Mark Davis, Nicolas Aquilano and Richard Chase (1999) have suggested that the major issues for operations management today are:
  • reducing the development and manufacturing time for new goods and services
  • achieving and sustaining high quality while controlling cost
  • integrating new technologies and control systems into existing processes
  • obtaining, training, and keeping qualified workers and managers
  • working effectively with other functions of the business to accomplish the goals of the firm
  • integrating production and service activities at multiple sites in decentralized organizations
  • working effectively with suppliers at being user-friendly for customers
  • working effectively with new partners formed by strategic alliances
