Electronic Business Management Society

Question: Discuss about the Electronic Business Management Society. Answer: Introduction: Operations management can be viewed as the administration of practices that are involved within the business in order to facilitate the creation of the highest level of efficiency that is possible within an organization. Hawkesbury Cabinets Pty Ltd is an example of a company that utilizes the concept of operations management to realize its goals and objectives. It deals in designing and manufacturing of custom built kitchen cabinetry, and therefore applies the subject concept to realize its aim. In this argumentative essay, my stand is on the importance of operations management and how it can help an organization achieve its aim (African journal of business management, 2007). This will be affirmed in line with the case provided in view of the following areas; The current system of production and the processes that is used by Hawkesbury Cabinets, The effects of the new builder in respect to kitchen line on the Cabinets operations (problem definition) The effect that relates to producing builders. This looks at the effects of company in relation to financial structures. The Current Production Systems and Processes used by Hawkesbury Cabinets (technical analysis) The current production system and processes of Hawkesbury is in line with designing and manufacturing of custom built kitchen cabinetries. It is said that the company is currently focusing on servicing the needs of the growing Chinese population with its production (Electronic Business Management Society, 2003). The subject company has got a history of focusing most of its system of production on custom made kitchen with customers making consultations to develop unique kitchen that is majorly designed for satisfying the needs of the client. This was also seen to have accounted for the factories volume. Currently, the standardized kitchens that are also made by the company is what accounts for the factories volume. Nevertheless, the technical analysis of Hawkesbury production system and processes is analyzed to be operating on a single manufacturing facility where both standard kitchen and also custom kitchen is being made. The analysis reveals that the cabinet making equipment is majorly consisting of general purpose machine that is of great quality. There are also a number of production and processing systems within the company layout (Herrick, 2003). It has got various types of equipments which assumes same grouping. Saws and cutting tables are grouped in one section whereas routers and shapers being in another section. The main purpose for this is to bring order within the production centre and enhance production output. The technical analysis in line with the question in context also shows several assembly areas that are located throughout the factory. They are also strategically situated to enable connection of various production systems and process (Journal of operations and supply chain management, 2008). As mentioned earlier, when taking my stand in the introductory paragraph. It is clear that the current production systems and processes are mainly from the concept of operations management and its what gives the company a favorable status quo. Operations management is thus vital when it comes to organizational, factory and even company management. Effects of New Builders Kitchen Line on Hawkesbury Cabinets Operation The effects caused by New Builders Kitchen line were seen to have had a few issues that may have negative impact. Some scholars refer to such as problem definition. One of its effects with respect of the subject is that, there was imposition more stringent requirements of delivery to the clients builders. This made a number of clients builders who lacked such requirement fail to access all the services that other clients were accessing. This had a negative impact on Hawkesbury Cabinet operation but it never lasted for long since it adopted other workable means that were going to assist in bringing more credits . Apart from the mentioned, the new builders kitchen line was more sensitive when it comes to pricing cases more than the custom made kitchen buyers. This meant that accessibility of them was a problem due to their unfavorable prices. This never went for long before everything was reversed to normality and the subject kitchen became vital and a number of people needed it (Insti tute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India, 2003). The final effect brought by the subject of discussion is on the sales reduction. The case study provided, reveals that it is the custom design cabinetry that was selling and was on demand as opposed to the new builders. When technically analyzed, it is realized that the detailed discussion in the context contradicted the concept of operations management and therefore had negative impacts on Hawkesbury Cabinets operations (Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts of India, 2002). What is very clear is that, even with that withstanding, the subject operation still was able to do well and even adopted the custom designed cabinetry which had a long term history in terms of continuity in accounting for the companies majority of sales. Furthermore, it looked for ways on how it can create vitality of the subject among the clients and in the end it succeeded in it. Effect the Move to Producing Builders Kitchens Might have on the Financial Structure of the Company There are two possible effects that the move to Producing Builders Kitchens may have on the financial structure of the company. One of the effects is that it may influence the financial structure negatively while the other is the opposite, to mean influencing the companies financial structure positively. Negative influence may come out as a result of more sales being realized on custom designed cabinetry at its expense (South African journal of business management, 2005). It therefore means that, the companies financial structure will be purely dependent on the former for sustenance while the latter will be dormant or rather showing very little financial input to the companies structure. It can also be argued that it may have a positive financial input to the companies financial structure if, the sense of its vitality that is realized by the clients, this will attract more sale (International Council for Small Business West Virginia University, 2000). This means that many clients will opt to go for it after sensing its sense of importance. Going forward in accordance to the case study provided, we realize that in the last few months, the sales of the builders line kitchens showed steady increase in terms of the sales made. This affirms the argument I brought forward that the subject may attract many clients if its utility had an impact on them. If this is demonstrated just as shown in the case study, then there are chances that producing builders kitchens will have a positive effect on the companies financial structure (Royal Society of Arts Great Britain, 2005). In other terms, the subject will strengthen the companies financial structure. On the same point, what is vivid is that operations management plays or serves a major purpose when it comes to determining the production systems and processes (South African Journal of Business Management and Business Source Premier Hatfield, 2008) It also plays a major area in doing assessment with reference to new concerns or methodologies that may be employed in business. It also assesses the effects of these concerns and looks at them in terms of broad organizational issues. In conclusion, the operational issues affecting Hawkesbury Cabinet in line with the three areas that were mentioned showed that for success of any business to occur, it has to adopt favorable subject issues that will impact it positively. This argumentative essay thus affirms my stand which is based on operational issues having positive impacts in any business provided they have been applied appropriately. This is because the essay above has presented how Hawkesbury Cabinets Operation, progressively improved since the time it was founded in Mulgrave, Sydney in 2008 by two siblings Mei Chen and Fung. The company has dealt with a number of key concerns when dealing in custom built kitchen cabinetry and also builders kitchen. All these concerns as discussed above, affirms my stand in the essay.
