This report delves into the core principles of operation and project management, exploring their practical application within the context of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) and Aston Martin. It begins with an overview of JLR, differentiating between operations and operations management and critically reviewing the implementation of operation management principles, analyzing how these principles align with business requirements. The report then evaluates continuous improvement as a philosophy, explaining lean principles and outlining a continuous improvement plan to enhance operational functions. The second half of the report shifts focus to project management, using the Aston Martin case study to evaluate the project life cycle, its phases (initiation, planning, execution, and closure), and its effectiveness through appropriate models and theories. The report concludes with recommendations for improving operations functions, emphasizing strategies such as the Just-in-Time approach and the adoption of new technologies to increase productivity and profitability. Overall, the report provides a comprehensive analysis of both operation and project management strategies, supported by real-world case studies.
