Introduction to Operations Management Case Write-Up

This case study presents a whimsical analysis of a love spell ritual through the lens of operations management. The student details the steps involved in casting the spell using a flowchart, complete with a glossary defining abbreviations like 'EoN' (Eye of Newt) and 'ToC' (Tongue of Cobra). The process includes considerations such as moon phases (waxing and waning), language choices (Latin for male targets, Greek for female), and the selection of specific ingredients. While the subject matter is unconventional, the student applies a structured approach to outlining the steps, demonstrating an understanding of process mapping and documentation techniques often used in operations management. The references cited are unrelated to the core topic, suggesting a potential misunderstanding of appropriate source material for this type of assignment.

CASE WRITE-UP
Introduction
This is a write up of my experience of falling in love with a person who does not even know that
I exist. I wanted to have a retaliation towards my love and instead of using the routine procedure
of getting to know me, I have chosen to cast a spell of love onto him. I have explained the
procedure via flowchart and in the end I have added a glossary section to explain any abbreviated
term I have used in the Flowchart.
Case Write-Up
In the following flow chart, we have depicted the step by step process to cast a love spell for the
male target whom I am in love with. I am assuming that I possess a book which contains all the
rituals I need to perform plus all the ingredients I need to cast the spell (Landeta, J. 2006).
Though there is a separate list for men and women, but one ingredient called Eye of Newt is
same in both the list. However in case the target is male we can substitute Tongue of Cobra in
place of Eye of Newt. Next step involves the Moon Phase that is Waxing for men and waning for
female. However it is recommended to wait for the auspicious time to perform the ritual in two
different styles that is Latin for male and Greek for female. The procedure ends after this last
step (Linstone, et al., 2011).
