Production Management Frame Work,

The division of production management functions into 5 p’s


1. Product
2. Plant
3. Programme
4. Processes
5. People
    
In the field of production and manufacturing, these functions of operations
management are carried out by an Operations Manager. The processes of
operations management are impacted by five variables which are known as the
5Ps of management.

These are as follows:


1. Product
The ultimate link between the production and marketing processes of a company is
the product manufactured by it. A customer demands a product but at the same
time, the organization must also be capable of producing it effectively.
In accordance with the product policy in an organization, an agreement is formed in
accordance with the product’s aspects and different functions. The aspects of
products are:

 Quantity and Quality


 Reliability
 Performance
 Delivery Schedule
 Selling Price
 Aesthetics
 Ergonomics
In an organization, there are multitudes of internal and external factors affecting the
business environment. These factors affect various aspects related to products
such as legal constraints, needs of the market, culture, etc. Hence, they must be
given equivalent importance.
2. Process
There are many occasions when an established method/process may lead to
effective production but fail to achieve other objectives. To face such issues
effectively, the manager keeps an alternative to every method. He then chooses the
best alternative which can accomplish the objectives. While discussing the process,
some factors that need to be kept in mind are:

 Safety
 The capacity that is available
 The production types
 Cost of manufacturing
 Maintenance
 Plant Layout
 Labor skills
3. Plant
One of the most important assets of a production firm is a manufacturing plant. An
operational plant allows continuous production without bottlenecks. On the other
hand, the non-operational plant may hamper the production process.
A plant must be effective so as to achieve the product, market, and organizational
needs.
The plant is concerned with;
1. financial constraints
2. building’s design and layout,
3. Reliability, perfect, equipment maintenance,
4. Safety of operations, etc are different concerns about establishing a plant.
The plant layout must be effective enough to allow the smooth movement of
materials and manpower. Its layout must be able to deal with the arrangement of
plants and machinery and is dependent upon the demand volume, production type,
etc.
4. People
Manpower or people are the biggest assets for manufacturing firms. Production is
highly affected by people/manpower and their hard work.
Every individual has a different skill set and attitude towards work. Hence, to achieve
optimum results, it is mandatory to match an individual with a perfect job he is
capable of doing.
The production manager should be involved in issues like,
1. motivation,
2. decent wages,
3. good working environment,
4. employee training, etc are different factors that need to be handled by a manager
to ensure that people are working at their optimum productivity level.
5. Programmes
In a manufacturing unit, there should be a proper time schedule for the
implementation and completion of various programs. To accomplish different
situations, different programs are organized.
These are related to:

1. Storage
2. Purchasing
3. Transport
4. Maintenance
5. Transforming

So these were 5Ps of Operations Management that is crucial for every Operations
Manager
