2. Operations, Production & Marketing
An important & eminent trio
Continuous reliance & input by each
Motive is to keep the process going
Each performs a different but essential role
Rapid response from each element is
indispensable
3. There is always a vehicle & a driver
Operations is a manual for drivers
The drivers produce according to the manual.
Production acts as a puppet.
The strings are with “Operations”
Allocation of “Man Power”
Alignment of resources (Raw Material, Capacity
Building*, Infrastructure) with Demand.
4. The demand un addressed is the demand
never existed.
“Operations” must appear to be of a rapid
character.
Marketing fetches the demand
Operation materializes its provision
(Logistics, People, Provision of Product)
5. Your “wish” is my “command”
Production gives confidence to Marketing.
Capability of producing
Meeting the requirement
Exhibition of performance
Both are bound my “Operations Manual”
6. The “center point”
Key reason of existence of “Process”
Capable enough to maneuver the “Process”
Binds the Trio (Operations, Production &
Marketing)
