INTRODUCTION
Operation management is the field of area that can concern with designing, managing and
supervising in the quora of industry, manufacturing and the sectional services. It concentrates on
the management issues and problems for enhance to turn its input into output growth and
development. As the input represents the human resource and its techniques and methods like
staff faculty or workers. It has the foundation in both the key field of areas to manage the global
field in the supply chain of management in respect to meet their consumers demand in a frequent
manner. The skills and abilities that are managed as per the roles that are specialise in business to
make it more vulnerable. The management consider in this report is Nissan motor
manufacturing(Abdulsalam, 2018) . It is owned and operated by the European section of
Japanese car manufacture Nissan. It is the managerial function that involves the managing
operations and the procedure of an organisation. It featured an individual who is in charge of the
section of department that will be required to perform various task and operation at each level of
the management. It is the management of business that exercise to appoint the broad level of
efficiency ratio in an organization.
TASK
Organisational overview
Nissan motor manufacturing UK limited is the UK's largest car manufacturing plant
which is located near Sunderland. As in manner of the car production that is produced annually.
As the number of the employees to become the most productive car plant in the on going session
of years. The management of business handles all responsibility and possibility to cover the risk
factor as on manufacturing and aggregates the prima, micra and almera ranges. It connects their
vulnerable strategy that is usually related with the large scale of business to deal with other and it
also offers the standard products to their consumers that relates with basic specialization in the
business that are absolutely acceptable to the majority of customers(Baumers, Holweg, 2019). It
low the value of cost that deals with the leaders in the source of managing the manner of
discount that relates to the product in the manner to maximise the gross sales that is particularly
indeed. As if it has the most significant value of cost to manage the advantage all over the group
action that bring forward in the manner of performing the activities that can be further good to

increase its market share. As the other examples of Cost Leadership that explains the company to
Nissan that are Tesco and Dell Computers in the given quora.
As the decision making task in the organisation are allocated to executives in the
adequate field of area. To manage the operational key decisions that are the activity as it supports
the operation management that can form the variety in respect to manage the aim of the company
and hence its strategy of business(Chen, 2017). The various strategies that ensures the major
factor to discuss the key factor that purpose the terms in strategy and policies that is usually
associated with large standard of businesses that offers the modular commodity that is
comparatively make the distinction that are absolutely acceptable to the figure of consumers in
the given quora. As generally, the low cost factors of leaders will also decrease to the manner of
product to increase the sales that is particularly has the important expenditure as per the
advantages that relates with the competition to go further and increase its market share and its
activities in the following quora.
Operational management models
Operational management theory is the manner to set the activity in the relation of
company to increase the efficiency in the production value. It concentrates on the controlling and
planning of the product in the operation of the business that relates to the efficient manner in an
adequate way to deal with the business operations that will perform from the individuals of the
company. As the managerial source of organisation makes the every source of service that
provides by the management.
The management is the set of activities that are directly concentrates their focus on the
functions and operations of the management. The inputs activities that are included like raw
materials, medium of exchange, group of people, organisation, period of time and other
resources. Management of operations that includes the manufacturing manner in the business
that assembles that packages in the way of serving, training(Gray, 2017). The outputs that
include goods, services, staff wages, and waste material. Making the determination as per it also
concerned with the activity to execute the goals and targets of the company in the manner of the
job of the functions as per the manager. That individual's duty are explained below :
 Product planning : As per the planning and controlling process that manages the work
and its manner to deal with others in the business manner. It determine how the product
and services will be produced in the proper segmentations as to know how to manage the

operations and functions at each levels. It will analysed that the major frame work will
manage in the course of line. As the proper term that enhance the other individuals to set
the qualitative work manner in the manufacturing of auto mobile as per the facilitative
term to mentioned the orientation.
 Production control : As the production process may get continue with the scheduled
phase of time, hence it will be termed it in the virtual manner. The manager and
executives are started getting to relate with the manager to schedule the term in the
manner of subjective content(Guan, Chen, 2017) . As they should motivate the
orientation in respect to make the deal with the perception of the market in the diverse
manner. It might be at every stage in the segmentations to enhance the purpose that will
handle the work with proper supervising of the task to handle the inventories in the
organisation.
 Quality control : As it is the last process to determine the control on quality that keeps
the major structured out the manner of practice in the sectional term. The managers in the
managerial organisation that are directly involved in the efforts of individuals that will
relate to the goods that are produced as per the specialisation of the quality of standard in
the orientated manner to ensure the major issue and orientated issues in the demand of the
management. After enhancing the task of project and its condition of the project that are
finalise as per the task that will be presented in the conditional manner to get complied
with other individuals.
Approaches of just in time and Total Quality Management principles and their strengths and
weaknesses
 Just in time method : It refers in the Nissan motor manufacturing of auto mobile with
the aim of managing the inventories and the task of production that relates the work
condition to get manage as per the view point of raw material and its production
scheduling(Haddud, Khare, 2020). It also states the various strategies that are get
maintained in the manner to initialise the orientation of major companies that builds the
inventories and expenditure on the virtual perspective. It creates the goods and product in
the manner of its outlook that are relatively attach to the various segmentations. Nissan’s
just-in-time procedure are depends not only on human infirmity but on the machine

exactness. That each and every vehicle that is supervised and automatically set the
manner of each and every level of production.
As the management of business are get influenced and create their favourable techniques
and methods to get involves while creating the sections from output to input and keep tracking
the orientation to have the enough orders and demands to supply the major orders with the
segmentations of actual demands(Kouvelis, Dong, Turcic, 2017). The management of business
should take the managerial activities in a serious and effective way to fulfil the demands and
orders to get receive the high amount of profit with the adequate form of quora. The managerial
business are taking the moderate set of advantages to reduce the waste from the market and make
positive quora of the cash into the business and also it will set the major orientation of positive
outcome. The most of the sudden the issues and problems that are arises as per the manner to get
the unexpected increase in the scheduling of demand for the management of business and its
product and services.
 Total quality management : It refers in the Nissan motor manufacturing of auto mobile
with the concept of the approaches to the long term success that initialise the set of
success in the market. As per the consumer and visitors satisfaction that relates to the
individuals of a management of business with the particular manner to get improve the
virtual set of demands from consumers that are improving the procedure of the
managerial activities and their products and services that relates to the culture and other
work. It offers the policies and strategies and other techniques of strategical set of data
with major effective communications to segregate the quality of subjective content in
respect of market that works into the society and its action of the management of
business(Liang,Çakanyildirim, Sethi, 2018). To accomplish the objective in the
management Nissan has to realize the visitors and consumers demands and requirements
that consider the procedure that has been involves in providing the quality that are not
just the end outcome but it manage the fact of order and value of tasks to get deliver in
the adequate sort of quality that evaluate the various sort of employees to perform their
task of work in this way in the organisation.
As the high performance system of work that integrates the continuous flow of the
set of targets and goals that are mannered to improves its sort of efforts as with the average
business functions and its orientated operations. Individual are managing the activity from one

form of authorise segmentations. As it is the process of orientation that initialise the various
source of output that consider the fact of the horizontal procedure that interconnect to the targets
set of functions in the perception of given quora(Mahdavi, Olsen, 2017). It is an incorporated
system that connects the business and their deals to improve the perception that relates their
orientation in the sort of form at each level that distinction to the elements and its efforts to
continually amended the sections that will pass and manage the requirement of visitors,
customers or employees and other stakeholders who are looking to invest in the organisation.
Layout planning
The term layout planning is the virtual sort of term that phase the physical manner of
position to ensure the source that take the space in the facilitative way. The source of actions that
coordinates the manner of work that includes the work place to perform the activities in the
department with the adequate set of arrangement. Nissan’s diesel engines are the good example
of the strong role of product designs that plays the managerial activities in the business. The
diesel engine has allowed the organisation to achieve the targets and goals in an effective
manner. It might only focus on to the manner that remains the cost leaders but also to profit in
the term of market share in the European market through its new Micra at Nissan UK. As the
decisions are made as according to the manner of the work that will perform in the perception of
orientation. As the segmentations that includes the source of the arrangement that involves the
resources in a facilitative way that can significantly affect the way of productivity of a
management of business(Mehra, 2018). The source of proper layout planning that can be in a
way of critical section that ensure the subjective content in creating the good working
relationships in the work place as to increasing the flow of adequate term of information and data
to improve the major affect of the communication.
As it deal with the positions and location at different form of sections to ensure the fact in
the management of business. As it also determine the fact that the final level of the planning to
get ensure the basic term that is enhancing the subjective content. As the matter of the fact, the
product manufacturing and service sector of industry that are related with the orientation in the
business to set the stocks. The stocks that keeps the space in the orientation that involves the
content that will depends on the section of raw material, accessories, support services such as
public vehicle that park as per their orientation. The sectors of layout planning has also move out
in the manner of time that facilitative in the manner of expansion to relates with the time of

decreasing the level of various attribute that ensure the accommodating set of instruction in the
given quora that relates the resources.
 Design layout : As Nissan provides an extended range of diesel locomotive in
the Micra, Almera, Almera Tino and Primera. Some engines are common models
with Renault as because their pattern of layout that concentrates on the manner of
the deals and demands(Nazerzadeh, Randhawa, 2018). The various models of
Nissan that are as similar with other cars design also in the respect of its effective
terms that concentrates on the respective field of area.
 Operational process : The process and the transformation plan of action that is
subjective to find the perception and the way to produce goods and services that
will meet customised needs and product condition and orientated situation in the
pattern of the cost and any other managerial difficulties. As the management are
specially incisive to supervise the perspective of total machine-hours and its total
labour hours that each of the vehicle requires it(Wei, Akinci, 2019). However,
Nissan has been invested the over the various segmentations of £2.1 billion in the
site of Sunderland it takes its production capacity to 500,000 vehicles per year as
the motive to enhance the subjective content.
 continuous flow of production method : As in the production methods that must
be able to make what the consumers that want the right manner in the concept of
customers that require the price as according to the consumers that are willing to
pay the amount and the value of cost that involves the profit in to the business to
confide the situation. It is the most cost effective and efficient technique of
production by which the speed of the terminal machine line can be get adjusted to
match the demand of the consumer(Qi, 2017). If the demand rise up then the
production line can be get accelerated with the determined limits. At Nissan
Manufacturing of UK the production can flow high and get the draws on the three
variations of main production market that support the field of the areas in the
positive manner.
Work system processes
 Work flow : Nissan’s Sunderland site has been specialized and extremely
advanced. It uses the term of values at refined the various segmentations of

robotics and computer integrated sections of manufacturing techniques and
methods to build the carefully get supervised in the process of production that
decrease the faults and issues to get the absolute sort of managerial activities.
 Capacity : It is the output and the number of sections that are facilitate the
manner that can hold and receive the outlet to get produce in a interval of time.
The Nissan Manufacturing of UK applies the machinery that is scheduled to work
that has given the various sort of levels that initialise the demand that requires the
source of major flexibility(Revilla, Saenz, 2017). As in the regard to both the
machinery that are involves the manpower of 4,500. As the matter of the fact, it
desired the pattern that ensure the segmentations of the two shift pattern. Nissan
Manufacturing of UK has the total production of capacity that move around the
360,000 units in the year. It is the third shift that can be innovate as that would
take the cost of production that includes the manner as per the 500,000 units of
the year that is required it in the field of the market.
Importance of inventory management policies
Every business requires lots of focus and attention that is to be provided through
inventory management and control. This list involves cash flow in the business, by concerning
both selling and stock. Thus, inventory management and control have a large affect on business
finance. Inventory management involve intensify business operations with impressive flow of
goods and services. It is considerer with controlling of business stock and controlling of move of
products and services shadowing in the demand. Management policies provides management
controlling, processing and designing which is important to heighten and making successful
management(Senot, 2019). There are certain importance of inventory management policies
discussed below:
 Making balance between overstock and Stock out: Inventory management is all about
balance. When business invest more in inventory, then it can sell that is considered to be
a overstock, it creates deficit in budget. Failed to have enough stock and finished
products on hand to meet customer demands that is known as stock out which can also
weakened a business. An effective inventory management system prediction how a much
inventory a person need based on sales activity.

 Controlled cost of operations: Inventory management policies saves money and allows
a company to fulfil company needs. In context of Nissan organisation, company enables
successful control of operations.
 Decision making : Inventory management allows the sharp business decisions that gives
the real time set of information as about the deal with sales(Wedel, Behnezhad, 2019).
By analyse the manner of working assets and ratio of cash flow issues it will enhance the
market activities as because the individuals are expected to change it as according to the
earnings of the organisation. Good stock administration know how to work out with these
complex problems in the management.
CONCLUSION
As per the above report it has been concluded that, operations management is the element
of the social control of the business that plays an important role to manage the functions and
decisions in the management. It deals with the creation of product and services that ranges the
manner from producers to consumers. The business operates with the three primary functions
that are finance, operations and marketing to initialise the segmentations in the value of term.
The sort of activities that enhance the subjective content to deal with the activities that includes
the consumer care, source of data storage and security in the perception of varied orientation.
