Activity 1 [Case 1]

The effectivity of the principles of Operations Management is dependent on the
planning, supervision and organizing of the involvements required for the execution of

universal solution. It also helps in enhancing the effectivity of the entire solution to

time and money for the production in the long run. The effectivity provides the
theories to bring about changes by finding out issues in the project or the business
plan to identify the problems in them and then suggest changes if required. It also
found that the effectivity of the operation management principles also enables the
quality management of the processes.

2.1 Introduction: briefly explain the concept of continuous improvement

business operation or an ongoing project where the breakthrough improvement

through the continuous business process needs to understand the opportunities of
improvement and the analysis of the root causes that would enhance the system for
continuous improvement of the processes. The actions taken against would enable
the correction of the root causes for the faults.
