Brewery Publisher Hote 4. Insurance company 5. Restaurant B. Hospital 7. Courier 8. Logistics 9. Brokerage 10. Forwarder Discussion - to illustrate, the main output of a brewery is beer and the publisher as books or newspapers. However, the others are a bit trickier: a satisfied customer (hotel) and a customer bearing less financial risk (insurance company). So how would you illustrate the others? Chapter 1 - Activity 1.3 Use the matrix below to analyze your future role as an operations manager. In as many of the cells in the matrix as you can, jot down an example of a decision you have made in the last month. Designing the Operations Managing the Improving the System Operations System Operations System 1. Process 2. Quality 3. Capacity 4. Inventory 5. Human Resources Discussion - Possible decision under improving the operations system is to purchase more machines and retrench 1/3 of the workforce. You will almost certainly have left some of the cells in the matrix blank. For example, you may not have been involved (at least in the last month) in designing the operations system, so you may not have made any decisions that belong to the cells in Column A, though you will almost certainly have found some examples to put in Column B and perhaps in Column C also. Similarly, if your area of work does not involve any stocks of materials, you will not have found any for cells in Row 4 (Inventory). However, it is likely that you will have been able to identify decisions you have made that fall in at least a third of the cells of this matrix. If so, you are fulfilling many of the roles of an operations manager. Chapter 1 Activity 1.4 Identify the principal inputs (both transformed and transforming resources) used by each of the following organizations, and their principal outputs. Organization Inputs Outputs Restaurant University Doctor's surgery Warehouse A 3PL provider Business Processing Office Nuclear fuel reprocessing plant Discussion . The transformed resources of a restaurant include food and drink, and its transforming resources include equipment such as cookers, refrigerators, tables and chairs, and the chefs and waiters.

Chapter 1 Activity 1.5 Identify the principal resources (inputs), the type of transformation process and the principal outputs (goods or services) in each of the following operations. Inputs Type of transformation Outputs Refining steel Assembling cars Delivering cars to dealers Repairing cars Designing cars Importation of machinenes Exportation of banana Processing of importations for delivery to consignee Leasing of tractor heads for container chassis Leasing of close vans for LCL deliveries 2/3 Discussion - You may have identified various inputs such as materials, energy, machines, equipment, buildings and people. For example, the inputs used by a car assembly plant include components, equipment, buildings, labor, and energy. You may also have included fewer tangible inputs to the transformation process, such as information and skills. You might have noticed that midway down the list, the activities changed from primarily the production of goods to the provision of services. In the case of car designing, the principal inputs are ideas, and the outputs are materials used to communicate the finished idea, such as blueprints or computer models. So for the rest of the items, what will be their transformation and what will be their final output? L
