Introduction

Production and operations management is the process of turning an organization’s resources into goods and services. Production management relates to the activities around creating products. Operations management has to do with the production and delivery of products and services.
 Production implies the creation of goods and services to satisfy human needs. It involves conversion of inputs (resources) into outputs (products). It is a process by which, raw materials and other inputs are converted into finished products. Earlier the word “manufacturing” was used synonymously with the word “production”, but nowadays, we use the term “manufacturing” to refer to the process of producing only tangible goods whereas the word “production” (or operation) is used to refer to the process of creating both goods (which are tangibles) as well as services (which are intangibles). Any process which involves the conversion of raw materials and bought-out components into finished products for sale is known as production. Such conversion of inputs adds to the value or utility of the products produced by the conversion or transformation process. The utility or added value is the difference between the value of outputs and the value of inputs. The value addition to inputs is brought about by alteration, transportation, storage or preservation and quality assurance.
