INTRODUCTION:
MAIN REPORT
2
Pizza Hut opened in Malaysia in 1982, with the restaurant at Plaza Yow Chuan, Kuala
Lumpur. The Pizza Hut chain has grown to more than 428 restaurants under its sole
franchisee, QSR Brands (M) Holdings Bhd. Pizza Hut strives to consistently achieve its
primary goal - to provide all guests with delicious, hot pizzas and happy smiles. Pizza
Hut stays true to its motto - "Easy" and "Better." Pizza Hut's mission is to make it
extremely easy for consumers to order their favorite pizza, with fast and affordable
delivery, for more people to enjoy. (Pizza Hut).
Operations management is an activity that includes processes that are concerned with the
administration of company activities in order to achieve the maximum degree of
efficiency possible within an organization. Operation Management requires planning,
organizing, coordinating, and controlling resources to maximize efficiency while
producing goods and services that fulfill customer demands (Maiti & Maiti, 2021.

which activities the cash flows in and out of the company belong to. The finance
department needs to receive information from other departments (MKT, HR) to make a
financial plan for each project or each month. In addition, this department also handles all
aspects, such as paying suppliers, paying employees, and receiving payments from
customers. Russell, R.S., Taylor, B.W. and Castillo, I. (2022)
Last but not least, Supplier department is outside the organization but significantly
influences internal operations. Managers will cooperate with this department to order
materials for products and services and communicate requirements for material quality
and delivery time so that both parties get the best interest. Russell, R.S., Taylor, B.W. and
Castillo, I. (2022)

leverage while limiting supplier power. Building arm's length connections and employing
formal, typically short-term contracts that are subject to periodic rebidding, with
suppliers chosen mostly on price Shapiro, R.D. (1985)
Operations strategy plays a vital role in businesses because it ensures that resources and
processes are appropriately managed. It constantly updates corporate operations and
strategy, helping companies to decrease risks, save money, embrace cutting-edge
technology, and remain successful. A solid operations plan may protect a company's
product or service quality while dramatically improving client experiences. Furthermore,
it may assist in enhancing goods, reducing returns, and assuring higher dependability.
Das, J. (2022)

In operations management, we try to ensure that the transformation process is performed
efficiently and that the output is of greater value than the sum of the inputs. The
transformation process itself can be viewed as a series of activities along a value chain
extending from supplier to customer.
The next role of the OM in the organization is Transformation Process is to create value
through effective management of Inputs into Outputs (products, services,...) In addition,
those values are also expressed as the output is of greater value than the sum of the input
Thakar, P. (2021) “Operation management.”
In business, organizations use the IPO model to understand their environment. The IPO
analysis model offers many advantages, which allow businesses to see the
interrelationship of all activities in a business.

Supply Chain Management (SCM) is a distribution channel for goods, starting from a
supplier of raw materials or components, then processed through professional
operations at factories and sent to distributors and retailers, and finally in the hands of
consumers. ProcurePort, S. (2023)
3) Logistics and distributions: This is the supply chain management stream that plans,
flows, and stores products and services, as well as related information, to fulfill the
consumer's needs.
Figure 2

The main objective of Pizza Hut's supply chain is to maximize supply chain surplus
to the maximum possible level. The supply chain surplus may be calculated by
subtracting Supply Chain Cost from Customer Value, indicating clearly that the
primary goal of the supply chain is to reduce costs while enhancing/increasing
customer value.
Pizza Hut also owns Supply Chain Services (SCS), which provides dough,
ingredients, equipment, and services to company-owned and franchised locations.
This methodology allows Pizza Hut to maintain quality standards and uniformity
across franchised locations and provides Pizza Hut with a large cash stream.
Pizza Hut’s direct suppliers are named:
• Pepsi Company
• Bake parlor company (Buns)
• Habib Oil Mills (First mineral water)
Indirect suppliers, who provide materials like cutlery and vegetables, come from their
warehouse include:
Meat market (Their cattle)
Vegetable market
Sauce companies
All sauces and condiments used in Pizza Hut products are produced
according to an exclusive recipe, ensuring the product's uniqueness.
Distributor: Pizza Hut does not outsource distribution services but undertakes
logistics itself. This ensures not only product quality but also the time the orders
come to customers within 30 - 45 minutes.
Customer: The customers of Pizza Hut include everyone, from children to aged
people to geriatrics

addition, Pizza Hut also has accurate information, allowing them to close inefficient
and unnecessary facilities and save much money.
- Quality control:
Pizza Hut and supplier products and services work to the same standards, and quality
control problems can be detected earlier. This compliance contributes to sustainability
and customer satisfaction. In addition, Pizza Hut's proprietary condiments that have
issues will be promptly seen by the supplier Sauce Company and prevented from
having problems with Pizza Hut's products, resulting in a bad customer experience
and reduced revenue, as well as the reputation of Pizza Hut. Weinryb, D. (2023)
IV. The relationship between effective operations management and the achievement
of tactical and strategic business objectives:
1. Strategic Decions :
11
2. Tactic Decisions:
Tactical decisions are also closely related to Operation Management but have a short-
term impact on the organization compared to strategic decisions. Tactical decisions
can be modified more easily than strategic decisions, and they involve fewer
resources. Strategic decisions, when operated effectively, give organizations quick
competitive advantages, making it easier to attract and retain customers. Weinmann,
M. (2015).
Order receipts have a discount code if the customer keeps them and returns them
within seven days. This helps in retention while increasing customer satisfaction.
Pizza Hut orders are always committed to delivery within 30 - 45 minutes to ensure
product quality. In addition, Pizza Hut delivers by its own shipping company, not
outside, so it is timely and flexible when there are any problems. If the delivery time
exceeds the committed time, the customer will receive a Voucher for the following
purchases. This will keep customers returning next time and not create opportunities
for competitors.

Workforce Capacity Planning: This strategy ensures that the business has the
necessary workforce to do the job well. If an increase in labor is required,
managers will have the basis to make changes to suit the company's plans.
Product Capacity Planning: This strategy ensures that the business is equipped
and has enough materials to complete the required products or services within a
specified time. Finally, Tool Capacity Planning this strategy ensures businesses
are equipped with the necessary tools, such as machines, vehicles, or assembly
lines, to ensure the quality and production time of the product or service.
(Simplilearn, 2023)
Pizza Hut's supply has been affected after the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore,
Pizza Hut wants to change a few factors about SCM:
Decided to build cattle and vegetable farms, accepting additional costs for
construction, recruitment as well as materials. Or corparate with new suppliers to
expand inventory. Pizza Hut estimates are as follows:
The ability to build a farm is 0.30
The possibility of cooperation with new suppliers is 0.70
Profit for each option
Estimated farm construction $500,000 - $650,000 depending on the construction
level
Partner with a new supplier $800,000 - $950,000, depending on the number of
new suppliers
13
1.1.3 Using Decision Trees to Help Pizza Hut make decisions
The construction of the farm only has 30% of the favorable market, and Pizza
Hut's profit is only from $500,000 - $650,000, so this is not the optimal
solution. Meanwhile, if Pizza Hut cooperates with a new supplier, 70% of the
market will be favorable, and high revenue will be from $800,000 - $950,000.

Supply Chain Planning and Control facilitates the management of supply and
demand planning as well as material flow control. It is also the process of
forecasting product demand, planning materials and components, production,
marketing, distribution, and sale. Its purpose is to balance supply and demand so
that sales income revenue opportunities are fully exploited promptly and at the
lowest possible cost.
1.2.1 The benefits that Supply Chain Planning and Control brings:
14
- Be able to measure future needs and incorporate implementation strategies
The beverage supplier for Pizza Hut was formerly PepsiCo. However, Coca-Cola
recently sent notice of its desire to partner with Pizza Hut for Pizza Hut's new
product launch campaign. Pizza Hut implements Supply chain planning between
Coca and Pepsi to make the right decisions.
Coca is famous for its two product lines: Coca and Coca Diet, which strongly
hit the psychology of today's customers. In addition, in this new product
launch project, Coca offers a reasonable price as well as will give priority to
Pizza Hut's campaign, thus achieving a higher score than Pepsi.

Adopting digital technologies enables organizations to improve their business
operations and achieve ambitious operational goals. This is a crucial reason
modern managers must understand the basic terms associated with a business's
digital transformation strategy and how to reduce costs and increase productivity
with technology. Some of the popular digital technology methods today are
Customer Relationship Management and Cloud Computing.

interactions with business, and displaying the information required to chat better
with customers.
CRM offers many benefits by collecting and organizing data about customer
interactions and facilitating the analysis of that data :
Increase productivity
With CRM, emails can be automatically generated and checked for effectiveness;
management can easily access the most recent details of a customer meeting and
find out basic customer information without leaving the call.
Empower sales management
Monitor sales-related activity, mobilize additional help when needed, and provide
teams with real-time updates. Manage the sales process from lead generation to
closing.
Improve sales metrics
Nurture the right leads promptly and effectively by focusing on the leads that
matter. The CRM data and reporting system provide insights into conversion
performance at different points in the sales funnel.
Increase customer satisfaction and retention.
Employees have easy access to customer interactions and more straightforward
complaint resolution. This creates a more positive experience for customers, who
no longer suffer from frustration. (What is CRM, (2021))
2. Cloud Computing:

of business software and dedicated applications. In addition, customers can use
any browser-enabled device.
- Backup and restore data easily
One of the most significant advantages of cloud computing is storage space. Any
relevant corporate data can be stored in the cloud, enabling connectivity and
usefulness. Furthermore, the cloud includes an integrated data backup and
recovery system to protect the company's data. The information is securely
protected from computer hackers, natural disasters, and even outright
unauthorized access. (Admin, 2022)
Previously, when Pizza Hut had not applied digital technology in operation, it
faced many problems. Customer information is not highly confidential; hackers
can easily access transmission lines and steal information. In addition, too much
customer information causes congestion when looking up and hinders customer
care services. After applying CRM and Computing Cloud into operation, the work
at Pizza Hut becomes more convenient. The storage space is vast, but the security
is very high. The information will be unlocked only when entering the staff code,
fingerprint, or face recognition. All customer information is found with just one
click, saving time and enhancing the customer experience. According to a report
from Pizza Hut, the average of all customer reviews since the adoption of CRM
and Computing Cloud are above 4.7. This is the highest rate since Pizza Hut was
established and operated. From there, it can be seen the importance and
effectiveness of Digital Technology in general and CRM, Computing Cloud in
particular
