While attending Fudan University in China, I continued to challenge myself to maintain the number one ranked student in my major -- even after switching my major from Physics to Mathematics in the second year. Furthermore, my distinguished academic performance awarded me the privilege of being selected in the National Basic Science Talent Training Plan. Through this, I joined reading groups and read several graduate-level books such as Econometrics (Fumio Hayashi) independently. The intensive reading motivates me to explore methodologies in different branches of science, such as Econometrics, Statistics, and Mathematics. By the time I finish each topic, I had not only broadened my knowledge, but also acquired the ability to explain my ideas consistently and coherently.

As my course in Operations Management comes to an end it is time for me to analysis all that I have learned in MGTU-315. To reflect on the knowledge I’ve gained from key concepts, and putting them to practical use in analyzing the operations strategy, performance, and the planning and control of our group project. In this essay I will discuss what key concepts and their relationships with various mythologies, along with my thoughts on how they may be applied in real situations at work. As an example I will be using the issues I had my summer in my small business.

The three establishments that I choose for this project were Burger King, Barnes & Noble, and McDonalds. I have paid close attention to how the employees performed their task. I will talk about the kinds of OMM costs companies have and how does this affect their OMM operations. Also, I will be talking about how these companies made their operating systems to give them an advantage over their competitors. The main goal of the operations manager is to make the customers happy and make them want to come back to their establishment. By properly observing and managing their business’s operations, they can see what sells and make sure that those products are available. This cannot

The three companies I selected for this assignment are McDonalds, Bose Corporation and Motorola. From the reading I was able to determine the employee’s organizational structure within this company’s by which they complete their jobs. I will review and outline the main kinds of Operations and Materials Management (OMM) processes these companies use, and how it affects their operations. Also, I will discuss how companies design their operating systems to give them a competitive advantage. I will identify which components of operations and materials management costs and the methods companies use to reduce them.

As an organization grows, there is a necessity to grow from generalist to specialist organization. Organization structure is all about grouping the people and the tasks in the best way, that tells them what to do and what not to do. In small organizations, there is random communication amongst people, but in large organizations communication clustering starts happening. People start clustering, communicating with people depending on their need. For example, Sales people cluster with other Sales people and Finance people communicate more with other Finance people. So, communication is maximum within clusters and there is minimum inter-cluster communication generally.

Recently, in my workplace, the IT department went through a reorganization phase, which resulted in many people changing or gaining job roles. Our manager appointed and delegated some of her responsibilities to someone who has been on our team for many years, which officially makes them our team lead. The only issue I have with this individual, and so do others, is their style of managing that happens to be micromanaging. Her style of managing has created a tense working environment that makes it difficult to work in each day. Everyone seems to be on the edge all the time and each day there seems to less positive energy detected. Myself as well as other co-workers agree that management should be informed and suggestions should be made to either reconsider a different team lead or have management work with our team lead to make them aware of the situation and work on a plan that will improve her management style. Using the rational approach to change, management can develop a plan for the change initiative and improve the chance of success in the organization.
