菜鸟看书看到一个问题,不是很明白. 应该没有标准答案,所以拿出来大家讨论一下,还望高手大侠赠金玉良言. 先谢谢了.

Q: One of your friends states that "operations management and supply chain management are primarily of interest to manufacturing firms." Is this true or false? Give some examples to support your answer.

"operations management" here means fuctions under strategy, organizations, accounting, process management, SCM etc. all belongs to so called operations management. He points supply chain management here is to emphesis on it.

Additionally, we can also say can operations is a part of the supply chain.

Agree, many companies organised Operation Level as the base support function of SCM

嗯,说得有道理. 可能问题问得就是楼上的意思.如此说来, 问题的statement是错误的, 服务型企业当然也是可以关注的.

我倒是觉得SCM的范畴比OM要大一圈.

OM会狭义地指向某企业的制造,流程,质量等. 而SCM能可包括该企业的上游(客户),自身和下游(供应商和子供应商)的供应链.

operation management concentrates on the process of manufacturing inside the corporation or factories, whereas supply chain management focuses on the control of the flow of martirial,WIP，and finished products. One thing we have to note is that the name of the major in not the conclusive evidence of what the major covers. Some operations majors in US collegs focuses on SCM and logistics.

the concept of SCM you mentioned here is more suitable to be categorized into "logistics management" rather than SCM coz SCM is not only focus on the materials but more importantly focus on relationship management between up- and down-stream partners. It pays more attention on planning.
