Question

Systems approach to operations management

Answer 1

The success of your business in achieving its objectives depends on your management approach. A systems approach can provide your management a unified focus with regard to the direction towards which the business should strive. The approach requires your company to function as a unit despite being a complex entity that's subject to changes from within and outside. It entails analysis of problems -- identifying the forces affecting various system functions -- and designing a synthesis of solutions to overcome the forces interfering with the achievement of the system’s goals.
