Part 1: EFFECTIVENESS OF OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT
P1 Operation management principal in Aston martin
Operation management of Aston martin is concerned with planning, organizing and supervising
the production and manufacturing of the goods (Zhen and et.al, 2019). This management consist
material and labour and also, operation management tries to convert the input into output. And
try to give best product to the company.
But there are few approaches of operation management which this company have to follow to
attain the best product.
Taylor's theory of scientific management
This is one of the popular approach of operations management. This approach has been
published by Taylor, and they said that by optimizing and simplifying jobs can increase the
productivity. If the workers and managers of Aston martin works together they can produce
more innovative products. But on the opposite if the manager leaves the employee on their own

to make and produce the products this will definitely going to affect the productivity of the
company (Rawat and et.al, 2019). As Taylor knows that workers can easily get motivated by the
pay so they initiated an idea which is very popularly known as “a fair day's pay for a fair day's
work” which means that if the worker is not performing well in a day, they do not get better pay
of the day as compared to other employees.
Principals of scientific management
This approach works on some principles which is “rule of thumb” this approach believes on
determining the most efficient way to complete any particular task. Another thing is
management just do not assign any work to the workers but they should assign such job which
matches the desires and interest of the worker, and also management must monitor the
performance of the workers and ensure them that they should use a better way to work.
Six sigma methodology
Six sigma is a very important methodology which is implemented in Aston martin and it assist
the business to improvise the current procedure of product of the company by eliminating
defects. So this theory has deep impact on the operation management of the company because
by implementing this theory in the organisation, operation management can reduce the chances
of creating defective products which can safeguard the money of the company and also it helps
the company to improve its reputation (Costa and et.al, 2017). The main motive of discovering
Six Sigma is to help the big organisations to manage their quality of the product.
Principals of six sigma
The major goal of six sigmas is to eliminate defects and variations which arises in the quality of
the product. But this approach also relies on some principles.
Smaller is better
As per this principle, those workers who are working in the operation department they must set
target for them that they will not get any defect in the manufacturing of the product.
Larger is better
In this operation department set “Lower specification limit” like scores so that they try to get
highest score in the manufacturing of the product.
So the main objective of all the principles is to recognize the errors and detect the quality of
product (Sartal and et.al, 2018). Thus the six sigma methodology works on defining the
problem and analysing them and then try to improve them.
