- After listening to me, read chapter 11 and apply textbook material to my lecture
From the lecture, I understand about operation management which includes capacity, strategy and management to organize the company to meet the customer demand. The business environment has never been more challenging than it is right now. The speed of change in the marketplace is crating a stress on corporation to respond quickly and effectively. If the capacity is not great enough to meet peak demand periods and inventory building is not properly planned, customer will go unfilled. Therefore, we have adopt strategies capacity planning to determine the all capacity, all production line and management to reach the goal. We have to select the best way of time horizons, capacity utilization, and capacity flexibility, capacity planning and capacity requirement. We select the facility location that lowest cost and highest profit. For the just- in –time. It is designed activity to reach highest volume of production and lowest waste the operation of agriculture production. We have to use those strategies to improve, research and develop our products to increase capacity and manage them to get competitiveness to compete with others. <ol style="margin-top: 0cm"><li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; tab-stops: list 36.0pt">Apply to case of Thailand</li></ol> In Thailand, we have a lot of land, resource and good climate to do agricultural business but we lack of quality of farmer. Thai farmers have low quality, education and welfare. Therefore the agriculture products in Thailand have low quality because farmers do not know to make the capacity or strategy to manage technology to get highest outcome and profit. If we educate farmers to have knowledge, they will produce high quality products, well logistics and well storage to sell in domestic and export and compete with other countries. Farmer will have strategies and capacity to control and produce good products to reach the high volume of outcome and highest profit.
