WHAT IS PRODUCTION AND
OPERATION MANAGEMENT?
•Large volumes of throughput are expected therefore especially designed equipment and methods
are often used so that lower production costs can be achieved.
•Frequently the tasks handled by workers are divided into relatively small segments that can be
quickly mastered and efficiently performed.
•Examples include systems for assembling automobile engines and automobiles themselves, as
well as other consumer products such as televisions, washing machines, and personal computers.
Note: often referred to as assembly systems or assembly line systems and are common in mass
production operations.
