Public education on Production and Operations Management (POM) is vital because most people merely pay leap service or do not know how to apply this important field to their lives- private or public/ professional. It is a potpourri of awareness, cognition and value.
POM IS A CHIEF DETERMINANT OF SUCCESS AND DEVELOPMENT.
A nation is backward or less developed and an organisation or individual fails on the alter of non
– challant attitude and poor Production And Operations Management skills. A lot of people cannot create wealth on their own. Many hinge their challenge on a lack of capital. There is nothing like that. The capital you need to start a business is embedded in the professional knowledge of Production and Operations Management.
The reason we have failed governments, businesses, projects or individuals is chiefly due to unprofessional behaviours or conduct in the Management of Production And Operations.
Professionalism and the right standards of ethics are lacking in most organisations. Most people think they know what they don’t know. Even in some cases commonsense is in short supply.
YOU NEED POM
You need POM knowledge and capabilities in virtually all spheres of life. Application of Production and Operations Management knowledge is not limited to a particular industry or department.
We hear or know about Toyota Production System (TPS).
We are also familiar with international brands such as Ford, Apple, Microsoft, Samsung, Amazon, Compaq, Coca Cola, Macdonald, Google etc. These are outputs of production processes.
PRODUCTION IS EVERYWHERE…EVERYTHING…..YOU SEE AROUND OR FEEL.
Production creates goods and services.The planet on which we all live, and indeed every one of us is a product of some production processes;We survive on a daily basis on the strength of Production.
Production could be agricultural, construction, energy ( oil,gas, electricity),mining, manufacturing or service. All industrial sectors are involved in production.
