Operations Management Project

This is a group project (groups of 5 students) based on a live case study of a medium to large

sized business organization engaged in operations activity. Goods manufacturing concerns

would be ideal to study. Select the organization in which any one of the group members has a

direct or indirect access to the senior management so that you can arrange meetings easily and

get the needed information and support. You may need to get a letter of authorization from the

university to present to the organization.

Select an organization: FMCG, chemical, textile, garment, 5-star hotel, pharmaceuticals,automobiles (at least 300 employees).

Interview senior level operations managers (production, packaging, purchase,warehousing, quality control, etc), collect some information related to operations

processes and systems.

Prepare report on operations processes involved in production of 5 products frompurchase of raw materials to distribution of finished goods. Each major process should

be clearly defined; inclusion of flow diagrams and pictures of machines and equipments

would add real value. If you do not get enough detailed information from the concerned

managers of the selected organizations, get some specific information, pictures, etc.

from the net and mention the sources in your report and presentation slides.

Your report should be prepared in MSWord and presentation slides in PowerPoint. Theentire presentation of the group should be of 10 to 12 minutes. Please limit theintroduction of the company, its directors, etc. to very minimum.

Each student should present the entire process involved in a product along with his/hercritical analyses about the effectiveness, and recommendations for improvements.

Submit report and give presentation in 2nd last class.
