1. Production Focus (late 1700s to late 1800s) 

          *Division of labor (Adam Smith 1776; Charles Babbage 1852)

          *Standardized parts (Whitney 1800) 

2. Cost Focus (late 1800s to late 1900s) 

          *Scientific Management (Taylor 1881) 

          *Assembly line (Ford/ Sorenson 1913) 

          *Gantt charts (Gantt 1916) 

          *Motion study (Frank and Lillian Gilbreth 1922) 

          *Quality control (Shewhart 1924; Deming 1950) 

          *First Digital Computer (Atanasoff 1938) 

          *CPM/PERT (DuPont 1957, Navy 1958) 

          *Material requirements planning (Orlicky 1960) 

          *Computer aided design (CAD 1970) 

          *Flexible manufacturing system (FMS 1975) 

3. Quality Focus (1970s to late 1990s) 

          *Baldrige Quality Awards (1980) 

          *Computer integrated manufacturing (1990) 

          *Globalization (1992) 

4. Customization Focus (1990s to present day) 

          *Internet (1995) 

          *Mass Customization (2000s)

Introduction of Production/Operation Management as a Functional Department

This is the First Video in the series that will focus on various aspects of Production and Operation Management. This being first one in the series talks about role of Production Operation Management(POM) in an organisation. The Video also discusses major function departments of an organisation viz. Marketing, Human Resource/Personnel, Finance/Accounts and Production and Operation Management.

Definitions of Production Management

Production function is that part of an organization, which is concerned with the transformation of a range of inputs into the required outputs (products) having the requisite quality level.

Production is defined as “the step-by-step conversion of one form of material into another form through chemical or mechanical process to create or enhance the utility of the product to the user.” Thus production is a value addition process. At each stage of processing, there will be value addition.

Edwood Buffa defines production as ‘a process by which goods and services are created’.

Some examples of production are manufacturing custom-made products like, boilers with a specific capacity, constructing flats, some structural fabrication works for selected customers, etc., and manufacturing standardized products like, car, bus, motorcycle, radio, television, etc.

Introduction to Production Management

Production/operations management is the process, which combines and transforms various resources used in the production/operations subsystem of the organization into value added product/services in a controlled manner as per the policies of the organization. Therefore, it is that part of an organization, which is concerned with the transformation of a range of inputs into the required (products/services) having the requisite quality level.

The set of interrelated management activities, which are involved in manufacturing certain products, is called as production management. If the same concept is extended to services management, then the corresponding set of management activities is called as operations management.
