Study Notes
Industry Overview
- Industry encompasses all economic activities related to producing goods and services in specific fields.
- It includes various sectors like agriculture, automotive, aviation, construction, energy, food and beverage, manufacturing, mining, telecommunications, aerospace, textile and apparel, and education.
Types of Industry
- Primary Industry: Extracts and produces raw materials.
- Secondary Industry: Manufacturing and construction focus.
- Tertiary Industry: Offers services instead of goods.
- Quaternary Industry: Centers on information technology and research.
Economic Classification
- Raw-Material Based: Industries classified by the type of raw materials used, including agro-based, mineral-based, marine-based, and forest-based.
- Size: Classifies into small-scale (labor-intensive) and large-scale (capital-intensive).
- Ownership Structure: Private (individually owned), public (government-owned), joint sector (public and private), and cooperative (managed by suppliers or workers).
- Heavy vs. Light: Heavy industries involve significant capital and large-scale production; light industries are labor-intensive.
- Domestic vs. Foreign: Domestic industries operate within national borders; foreign industries originate outside the country.
- Durable vs. Non-Durable: Durable goods have a longer lifespan; non-durable goods are consumed quickly.
- Manufacturing vs. Construction: Manufacturing produces final goods, while construction focuses on intermediate goods and components.
Evolution of Industry
- Industry 1.0 – Mechanization: Introduced steam engines and centralized production; transformed manufacturing processes, beginning with textiles.
- Industry 2.0 – Mass Production: Brought electricity and assembly lines; Henry Ford revolutionized production techniques.
- Industry 3.0 – Automation: Focused on electronics, IT, and robotics; enhanced efficiency and embraced lean manufacturing.
- Industry 4.0 – Digital Transformation: Integrated cyber-physical systems, IoT, AI, and big data; emphasized real-time decision-making and customization.
Operating System Defined
- An operating system in an organization produces physical goods and services.
- Systems are collections of integrated parts aimed at achieving a specific goal.
Key Elements of a System
- Components: Individual parts making up the system.
- Processes: Interactions among parts to achieve goals.
- Inputs: Resources necessary to initiate the system.
- Outputs: Results or products generated by the system.
- Goals: Objectives the system aims to accomplish.
Concepts of Operation
- Manufacturing Operations: Involve tangible outputs.
- Service Operations: Provide intangible outputs.
Components of an Operating System
- Inputs: Expertise, funding, equipment, customer feedback, and strategic priorities.
- Processes: Include planning, designing, production, and quality control.
- Outputs: High-quality products or services.
- Outcomes: Customer satisfaction which influences the system.
Types of Operation Systems
- Classification by Product Flow:
- Flow Shop: Resources arranged in accordance with production sequence.
- Job Shop: Products follow variable paths based on job specifications.
- Project Production: Resources are brought to the production site; the product remains stationary.
- Classification by Output: Outputs may be tangible (products) or intangible (services).
- Specification of Output:
- Standardized products are uniform and produced at scale.
- Custom products are tailored to specific customer needs.
