The reactive role of The reactive role of production/operations mgtproduction/operations mgt
Many companies fail to embrace operations mgt in Many companies fail to embrace operations mgt in their strategy formulation as a result of the their strategy formulation as a result of the following:following:
1.1. The production /operations mgr should have the ability to The production /operations mgr should have the ability to handle the strategic aspects of production/operations mgt handle the strategic aspects of production/operations mgt consistentlyconsistently
2.2. Production/operations mgrs rely more on verbal Production/operations mgrs rely more on verbal communication and have little interest in written wordscommunication and have little interest in written words
3.3. The production/operations mgrs has the tendency to view The production/operations mgrs has the tendency to view themselves as holding a reactive corporate briefthemselves as holding a reactive corporate brief
4.4. Companies also view the role of production/operations mgt Companies also view the role of production/operations mgt as short term and reactive to day to day activity and do not as short term and reactive to day to day activity and do not stress the long term nature of this taskstress the long term nature of this task

Types of production systems Types of production systems controlscontrols
Control is the basis for production mgt. There are Control is the basis for production mgt. There are two types of controlstwo types of controls
1.1. Feedback control- In this type of control the Feedback control- In this type of control the output is obtained as a result of input and output is obtained as a result of input and processing. It is then measured to see if it is in processing. It is then measured to see if it is in agreement with the goal. If the output is not in agreement with the goal. If the output is not in agreement with the goal, corrective measures agreement with the goal, corrective measures are taken to address the shortfallare taken to address the shortfall
2.2.
