A sample question, in the course style
A finance director argues that the firm does not really need operations management because procurement already raises orders and approves invoices. How should the operations lead best correct this view?
- AOperations management is the activity of managing the resources that create and deliver the firm's products and services, which is far wider than raising orders.
- BOperations management is simply the purchasing function that raises requisitions and approves supplier invoices for user departments.
- COperations management is a narrow scheduling discipline concerned only with factory shift rotas and machine utilisation.
- DOperations management is the legal function that drafts supplier contracts and handles any commercial disputes.
Operations management is the activity of managing the resources that create and deliver an organisation's products and services - spanning design, planning, control and improvement of the transformation process - which is much broader than raising orders or scheduling.
