BA365 Intro to Operations Management
3) Vaccine Distribution
How does vaccine distribution relate to key
operations and supply chain management questions including: quality management,
new product development and forecasting?
Could more vaccine be made available if the
government or patients simply paid more money for it? What are the pluses and
minuses of producing extra at an increased cost?
How should the government and producers
balance safety – i.e. carefully assessing the vaccine so that few unintended
consequences occur – versus speed of getting the vaccine to patients?
4) Weddings
What type of process – project, job shop,
flow shop, and continuous flow – would most likely be used for a wedding? Why?
5) Black Friday
How should stores approach inventory
planning for Black Friday?
How should retailers plan the process of
opening the doors and getting excited customers through checkout?
What capacity planning approaches should
retailers use for Black Friday?
6) Lean Enterprise
What are the potential benefits of lean
within healthcare? What are the dangers?
7) Hotels
When a guest stays at a hotel, they are,
at-the-minimum, promised a clean, safe and comfortable accommodation. In
addition, depending on the type of hotel, they may also have the opportunity to
relax by the pool, workout in the fitness center, or get some work done at the
business center. They may also choose to place a room service order for
breakfast or visit the restaurant located within the facility. When a patient
is admitted to a hospital for a surgical procedure, then they too need a clean,
safe and comfortable accommodation – in addition to appropriate clinical and
medical care, of-course. In fact, depending on the nature of the hospital
visit, the patient needs include many of the same aspects of a hotel stay such
as food & beverage, service, and so on.
So to enhance their effectiveness, should
the healthcare facilities focus on what they do best (i.e. clinical and medical
care) and partner with hospitality firms to offer the services which are their
core competence? Does the above idea seem far-fetched?
