FUNCTIONS OF POM- By Birodh Adhikari SSMC

Functions of POM
Being the component of the organization,
POM is concerned with the organizational
goal.
Production/operation manager seeks to
optimum utilization of the resources
(inputs).
The most functions of the POM is
decision making concerned with the
production function.

Functions of POM
Production/operation management is a
component of organization which concerned
with the creation of utility in raw materials
through conversion process.
As a part of management, it has following
functions:
Planning:
Organizing:
Controlling:
Behaviour:
Models:

Contd..
Functions of production
operation management can be
enclosed in a frame of general
management function.
PO managers are concerned with
planning, organizing, and
controlling the activities affect
human behaviour through
models.

Model Behaviour Controlling Organizing Planning
PLANNING
Activities that establishes a course of
action and guide future decision-making
is called planning.
POM defines the objectives for the POM
subsystem of the organization
It defines the policies, and procedures for
achieving the objectives.
This stage includes clarifying the role and
focus of POM in the organizations overall
strategy.
It involves product planning, facility designing
and using the conversion process.

Model Behaviour Controlling Organizing Planning ORGANIZING
Activities that establishes a structure of tasks
and authority is called organizing.
POM establish a structure of roles and the flow of
information within the POM subsystem.
POM determine the activities required to achieve
the goals and assign authority and responsibility for
carrying them out.
It includes:
Job design
Work Measurement
Project Management

Model Behaviour Controlling Organizing Planning
CONTROLLING
Activities that assure the actual performance in
accordance with planned performance is called
Controlling.
To ensure that the plans for the POM subsystems
are accomplished, the PO manager must exercise
control by measuring actual outputs and comparing
them to planned operations management.
Controlling costs, quality, and schedules are the
important functions for POM.
Material Control
Material requirement planning (MRP)

Model Behaviour Controlling Organizing Planning
BEHAVIOUR
Human aspect on the job is called
behaviour.
PO managers are concerned with how their
efforts to plan, organize, and control affect
human behaviour.
They also want to know how the behaviour of
subordinates can affect managements planning,
organizing, and controlling actions.
The behaviour is affected by the leadership,
motivation, communication, inter-intra
personnel relationship and their attitudes.

 Controling Organizing Planning
MODELS
The techniques which are used for problem solving is
called Models.
As a process of plan, organize, and control the conversion
process, PO manager encounter many problems and must
make many decisions.
S/he can simplify their difficulties using models.
Model Behaviour Controlling

The models are:

Aggregate planning models for examining how best to
use existing capacity in short-term.
Break even analysis to identify break even volumes.
Linear programming and computer simulation for
capacity utilization.
Decision tree analysis for long-term capacity problem
of facility expansion.

Contd..
POM is a part of general
management and it performs
Planning, Organizing, Controlling
the production process by the
affecting human Behaviour
through different mathematical
and quantitative Models in
decision making..
