How do operations managers ensure quality and efficiency during the transformation process of inputs into outputs? They take measurements at various points in the transformation process and compare them to established standards. They keep the work cycling between two different batches of labor in order to track any loopholes. They ensure that their products never use the modular design of transforming because this process increases the cost of labor. They always employ computer-assisted manufacturing (CAM) technologies to guide and control the transformation processes. They shift from material-requirements planning (MRP) to just-in-time (JIT) inventory management
