Note: - Since we answer only up to 3 questions, we will answer questions 1,2, and 3 for your question. Please resubmit the question with the remaining questions.
Answer for question 1:
Operations is a major part of management that is focused on designing and controlling a product from raw materials until it is finished.
Operations management covers the production of not only farm products but all the products, goods, and materials that are made. This includes everything like electronic accessories, food products, cement, defense weapons, etc.
Step1
b)
As Operations management is a major part of management, it therefore also becomes a major part of any company, whether it is a small toy selling shop or a large MNC. The process of operations management is very large as it starts with raw materials and ends with either finishing product or delivering the product to the customer. As the process is such large, operations can help a company reach new heights and also fall down.
Operations management is a very critical task that cannot be well performed by any normal human. It requires skills like negotiation, quick decision, forecasting, transport management, logistics, etc.
These skills are required for a person to qualify as an operations manager along with experience, knowledge, and education.
One can also give belt exams to achieve a special position, value, and reputation in the supply chain and operations. These belts are namely white(exception), yellow, green, and black. Anyone with these belts can have a dignified and high position in a job.
Step3
c)
Transformation processes are input-output type process. This process is an activity or activities that take at least one or more than one input. Then after transforms it and adds value to it and gives output to the customer.
There are 3 types of transformation processes. They are,
1.) Material
2.) Information
3.) Customer
The similarity between these process:
These processes are similar because whatever the value they make or input they get the work is the same. For example, in a hospital, 3 patients arrive at a time, but the doctor cannot diagonalize all three together. So either doctor will diagonalize who has more priority or move by sequence. Similarly, for a biscuit making machine, the machine won't take all the flour together it will take in some specified amounts.
The difference between these process:
The difference in the process lies in the input or the value required to make the output. For example, a laptop-making company won't make every laptop similar, the laptops look similar but the features are different.
