operations strategy.
Answer. The six elements of operations
strategy are:-
1. Designing of the production system
2. Facilities for production and services
3. Product or service design and development
4. Technology selection, development, and process development
5. Allocation of resources
6. Focus on facilities planning
1. Designing of the production system: - the designing of the production system
involves the selection of the type of product design, processing system,
inventory plan for finished goods, etc. The product design has two varieties.
·
Customized
product design
·
Standard
product design
There are two types of production systems. They are product focused
and process focused. Product-focused system is adopted where there is mass
production by using a group of machines. For example, products like
automobiles, computers, etc.
2. Facilities for production and
services: - Certain
specialization in production allows the firm to provide the customers with
products of lower cost, faster delivery, on-time delivery, high product
quality, and flexibility.

development:-
·
Generating
the idea
·
Creating

·
Designing

·
Preparing a
production model
·
Evaluating
the economies of scale for production
·
Testing the
product in the market
·
Obtaining

4. Technology selection and process
development: - A product

Answer. a. Scheduling strategies
Long-term scheduling
The long-term, or admission
scheduler, decides which jobs or processes are to be admitted to the ready
queue (in the Main Memory); that is, when an attempt is made to execute a
program, its admission to the set of currently executing processes is either
authorized or delayed by the long-term scheduler. Thus, this scheduler dictates
what processes are to run on a system, and the degree of concurrency to be
supported at any one time - i.e.: whether a high or low amount of processes are
to be executed concurrently, and how the split between input output intensive
and
Medium-term scheduling
Scheduler temporarily removes
processes from main memory and places them on secondary memory (such as a disk
drive) or vice versa. This is commonly referred to as "swapping out"
or "swapping in" (also incorrectly as "paging out" or
"paging in").
