2. Written personal reflection on operational business decisions made within the game
2.1 Introduction
This game simulates the entire process of factory production. Players will plan and control the process of factory production as a manager of the plant.
2.2 Operations in practice
This is Production operations management theory, the theory used in the game. (Guru,2013)
Briefly, the production process of operations is input into the output process, as shown.
a. Input and output content changes
The production process of the input of workers, labor, labor object. Where the object of labor eventually changed the form, the workers in the contract according to the contract in the production process to play a role and labor means will play a role …show more content…
Undertaking supply chain management responsibilities
3.1 Supplier Relationships What strategies should be adopted when developing short and long-term relationships with suppliers?
Long or short-term supplier selection is different, the short-term criteria for selecting suppliers are: the quality of the goods is appropriate, the price level is low, the delivery is timely.
The right quality of goods
The quality of the procurement of goods in line with the requirements of the procurement unit is the procurement of goods for procurement first consideration of the conditions. For poor quality, low prices of goods, although the low cost of procurement, but will lead to an increase in the total cost of the enterprise. (MBA lib,2017)
On the contrary, the high quality does not mean that the procurement of goods for the production of enterprises used, if the quality is too high, far more than the quality of production requirements for enterprises is also a waste.
Lower cost
Low purchase price is an important condition for selecting suppliers. But the lowest-priced supplier is not necessarily the most appropriate, because if the product quality, delivery time can not meet the requirements, or geographical location is too far to increase the cost of transportation will increase the total cost. So the total cost of the lowest is the choice of suppliers to consider the important factors. (MBA …show more content…
Low-quality raw materials can not do high-quality products. ( Lynn,2011)
First of all, the supply chain refers to the goods to reach the hands of consumers before the connection or business convergence. Supply chain around the core business, through the information flow, logistics, capital flow control, starting from the procurement of raw materials, made of intermediate products and the final product. Finally, the product sent to the consumer by the sales network will be suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, retailers, until the end user into a whole function of the network structure.
In the supply chain environment, the production, sale and after-sales service of the product need to be completed by the supply chain member enterprises. The quality of the products is objectively guaranteed and realized by all the members of the supply chain. However, the implementation process and the formation of product quality actually distributed throughout the supply chain range. This means that if the quality of a process is not managed will have an impact on the subsequent process and the impact of the process in the back is difficult to repair. So any supply chain problems will have an impact on the final product. Therefore, building a high-quality supply chain system, to ensure that the supply chain has sustained and stable quality assurance
