Explain briefly elements of operations strategy?
Ans. The six elements of operations strategy are:-
1. Designing of the production system
2. Facilities for production and services
3. Product or service design and development
4. Technology selection, development, and process development
5. Allocation of resources
6. Focus on facilities planning
1. Designing of the production system: - The designing of the production
system involves the selection of the type of product design, processing
system, inventory plan for finished goods, etc. The product design has
two varieties.
Customized product design
Standard product design
There are two types of production systems. They are product focused and
process focused. Product-focused system is adopted where there is mass
production by using a group of machines. For example, products like
automobiles, computers, etc.
2. Facilities for production and services: - Certain specialization in
production allows the firm to provide the customers with products of
lower cost, faster delivery, on-time delivery, high product quality, and
flexibility.
3. Product or Service design and development:-
Generating the idea
Creating the feasibility reports
Designing the prototype and testing
Preparing a production model
Evaluating the economies of scale for production
Testing the product in the market
Obtaining feedback
Creating the final design and starting the production
4. Technology selection and process development: - A product selected
for production will be analyses for the process and the applicable
technology for optimal production. There are many challenges faced by
the operations managers in this decision as the alternatives are many.
The techno-economic analysis for each alternative will help to decide
the required technology.5. Allocation of resources: - The production units face continuous
problems of allocating the scarce resources like capital, machines,
equipment, materials, manpower, services, etc. Allocation at the right
time to the right place of production indicates the efficiency of the
production planners. Optimal use of resources will enable economical
production. Minimizing waste, optimal utilization of resources, and the
best quality product demand a sound operations strategy.
6. Facility, capacity, and layout planning: - The location, layout, and
facilities creation for the production are the key decision areas for the
operations manager. These are critical for achieving the
competitiveness. The decision also influences the future expansion of
the plant. While evaluating the alternatives, the operations manager will
consider the availability of raw materials, access to market, etc.
Enormous capital requirement is required and the planning is always
long range. Here, the production process adopted and the technology
pursued dictates the volume, quality, and cost of production
In this presentation, we will discuss elaborately on strategic operations management, concept of strategy, five tasks of strategic management, strategic management process and importance of strategic management.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

22. Developing an Operations
Strategy
Operations Strategy is a plan for using
the operational capabilities of a
company to decide how it will compete.
Will it compete on
Price,
Quality,
Time,
Flexibility?
One, some or all?
23. Competing on Price?
Offering product at a lower price relative
to competition
Works if there are many competitors
offering same product or service.
If you of a product with a high degree of
customization, does it make sense for
you to compete on price?
Must also have lower ??? relative to
competitors.
24. Competing on Quality?
Quality of product
Quality of service
Both
Does competing on quality mean that a
company can’t compete on price
because it, if it offers better quality, it will
charge a higher price?
Depends on how quality affects ???
If it increases ????, yes.
If it decreases ???, not necessarily.
25. Competing on Time?
Time/speed one of most important
competition priorities
Time related issues involve
Rapid delivery:
Focused on shorter time between order
placement and delivery
On-time delivery:
Deliver product exactly when needed every
time
26. Competing on Flexibility?
Product flexibility:
Easily switch production from one item to
another
Easily customize product/service to meet
specific requirements of a customer
Volume flexibility:
Ability to ramp production up and down to
match market demands
28. Measuring Productivity
Partial measures
output/(single input)
Multi-factor measures
Uses some but not all inputs
output/(multiple inputs)
Total measure
uses all inputs
output/($ value of all inputs)
29. Measures of ProductivityMeasures of Productivity
Partial Output Output Output
measures Labor Machine Energy
Multifactor Output Output
measures Labor + Machine Labor + Capital + Energy
Total Goods or Services Produced
measure $ value of all inputs used to produce them

Output in $/Input in hrs. = X
Produced output worth $X per input hr.
Output in units/Input in $ = Y
Produced Y units per $ spent on input
Output in $/Input in $ = Z
Produced Z units per $ spent on input
41. Improving Productivity
Eliminate bottleneck operations
Eliminate non-value added steps
Use improved technology
Improve quality
Less rework
More good units produced the first time
Productivity should measure number of good
units produced the first time
