Operations and Information Management

Process selection and design are both strategic elements for any organization as they can contribute directly to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of operations.

Organizations make decisions on process selection and design based on the variety in products or services that the system need to handle, the degree of the equipment flexibility and expected volume output. Using the 5 Performance model organizations can benefit in producing higher quality products and services and, operating at low cost.

i. By taking as an example a product or a service from an industry that you are familiar with, critically discuss the main factors that influence the manufacturing/service process design.

ii. Discuss how implementation of the 5 ‘performance objectives’ – quality, speed, dependability, flexibility and cost – may assist in achieving greater productivity, lower costs and higher quality.

Critically analyze the theory, concepts and models of operations management and demonstrate an understanding of the importance of operations management in global organizations.

2. Analyze and critically evaluate the ways in which operations are adapted in view of specific market culture and customer requirements, and the role and importance of operational excellence in various aspects of competitive advantage.

3. Justify the value of understanding, measuring, reducing and preventing quality costs and understand the application of basic planning & control techniques.

4. Use the basic tools and techniques to plan and improve all aspects of the operations function and understand the application of the control systems that can be used for operations management in a wide variety of environments.

Explain, in your own words, how the fallacy is revealed through analysis of the valid argument template.

/in /by

Briefly answer each of the following prompts:

Inference

The differing meanings of “valid inference” and “warranted inference” are closely related to the differing purposes of deductive and inductive arguments – the purpose of deductive being to prove; the purpose of inductive to make the conclusion most probable.

Look up the words “valid” and “warranted.” Each of these words, you will find, has what is known as a lexical definition – that is just the dictionary definition of the word. Words also have a certain connotations – meanings that go beyond their lexical definitions; associated ideas and concepts – think of terms such a “fur baby” as the name for a pet.

Briefly discuss how the lexical definitions and connotations of “valid” and “warranted” can help us understand the differing purposes of deductive and inductive arguments.

Fallacies
Choose one of the fallacies in this section, such as Denying the Antecedent or False Classification and pair it with the valid argument template. For example, if you choose Denying the Antecedent, the valid argument template will be Denying the Consequent. False Classification would pair with one of the fallacies in Reasoning About Classes of Objects.

Explain, in your own words, how the fallacy is revealed through analysis of the valid argument template. Think of it this way – if you know how the heart works, you will know that certain malfunctions will prevent it from working. For example, if you know that the coronary arteries supply the heart with blood, then you can reason that a blockage will stop that vital flow. So this journal prompt asks you to explain, in your own words, how one of the valid argument templates work – and how that exposes the fallacy connected with that type of argument.

Civic Responsibility (please make a heading)

At the end of Chapter 9 there is a Bonus Exercise that asks you to research and analyze the 2009 debate over the healthcare public option. If you were actually to complete that exercise, it would take quite a bit of time and effort.

Do you think that completing such an exercise would be time well spent or time wasted? If well-spent, why? If time wasted, why?

Is there any issue on which you think a comparable amount of time and effort would be worthwhile?

As a critical thinker, do you believe that citizens have an obligation to be informed on topics of current interest? If yes, why, if no, why not?
