Implementation of Operations Management 3
Executive Summary
The project at hand seeks to address the reduction in efficiency experienced by the company.
Throughout its operation period, the company depicts significant breakdowns that hamper
manufacturing and productivity. The workers seem to experience challenges in the work stations
which reveals the lack of significant pieces of process optimization. The firm seems afflicted by
diverse causes of waste arising from its manufacturing design. Going by the project’s aims, the
most marked inconsistency in its operations relates to its inefficient processes that run from
training to sales. Overall, the company faces a threat of having its reputation decreased unless apt
measures take place to arrest the situation.
Realizing a modification in processes was suggested as the best method of solving the
shortcomings found to affect the company. Enhancing process efficiency offers the promise of
allowing the firm to deliver quality products and eradicate waste during manufacturing and sales
processes. From the project, it was deemed necessary for the company to utilize proven methods
such as lean management, Taylor’s Principles of Scientific Management, total quality
management, and continuous improvement. The project proposed depicts the use of long-
established methods to stimulate efficiency and eradicate waste. Its major outcomes stand to be
appreciated through improved productivity and revenue increase. Ultimately, the
recommendations emphasized the need to ensure proper training and oversight on the proposed
processes to effectively transform and sustain the company’s manufacturing processes.

Implementation of Operations Management – Report of Project Life Cycle of a Specific Project
Introduction
Optimizing company operations remain fundamental in the modern business
environment. Focusing on planning and implementing a specific project to have the desired
changes to enhance productivity and eliminate waste forms the backbone of the project at hand.
At present, the company’s processes seem quite inefficient as demonstrated by the various
hitches pointed out by the employees and customers in getting their products. Towards realizing
optimization, it is essential to implement operations management, lean management, and total
quality management (Franchetti 2015). It is prudent to guarantee that the factors undermining
optimization in the production process get streamlined. The concordance between the
organization's objectives and the objectives of the human resources contributes to realizing the
company’s goals effectively.
Fully aware of this fact, the organization’s objectives on the human resource and process
optimization ought to create a workplace setting that ensures increased efficiency. Since
operations management takes consideration of different aspects, assessment of the efficiency of
the human resource and process approaches requires evaluation of crucial indicators. In the entire
production process, significant indicators include employee productivity and process bottlenecks
(Anderson, Anderson, and Parker 2013). Consequently, operations management seeks to
implement effective methods of aligning operations to ensure optimum production characterized
by reliability, flexibility, and predictability. As documented in operations management, lean
processes work towards eradicating waste while total quality management engages interacting
methods that exploit and combine standards, processes, and equipment to achieve optimization
goals.
