Effective Business Operation/Production

Business production or operation is one of the most important function in business management. Like what I’ve said in the previous article, production is actually the life of the business. The simplest definition of its function is it is a process of converting materials and labor into products and services as competently as possible to maximize the profit of the business or company. For me, it is the behind the scenes. It is the procedure and preparation to deliver the highest level of efficiency in products or service. Below are the keys to a successful business operation or production.


1. Demand. The first thing to determine is the demand. How much do you need to produce and is the resources enough to meet the demand? This is where costing saving skill is necessary. You have to be creative as much as possible in your negotiation skill for your production cost to save a lot of money. Making sure that the production meets the demand is a number one factor that affects business production’s success.   

2.  Labor Force Requirements. To make sure that the production meets demand, you have to estimate the labor force requirements ahead of time. Failing to compute this accurately could lead to company’s big loss. This is one reason why a lot of construction companies in Kingdom of Saudi Arabia today have been filing bankruptcy. Recruitment of people overseas are ongoing and massive lay off go hand in hand at the same time. The needed labor force requirements should be gauged properly because failing to do so may lead to production or business operation’s failure. If there’s an increase in demand, see first if you can extend the employees’ working time before considering hiring new workers. Mismanagement in this area contributes a lot to company’s loss.   

3. Quality. Meeting the demands in production is not the only thing to be focused on but also producing highly effective and quality products or service. This is one reason why quality assurance or quality control is another important branch or department in business’ production or operation. There must be a clear set of standards and make sure that the production meets such criteria at the scheduled time. 

4. Timeline. A goal without timeline is not a goal at all. You have to make sure that you have a clear record or deadline on production’s delivery, dues or bills to pay and business’ goals. Having a clear timeline will also help you estimate the time and amount of working operation needed to meet certain deadlines to avoid unexpected delays. -M.D.

What the Elites Don’t Want You to Know

‘You are the author of your life.’ I’m sure you have heard this a thousand times before as this cliché has been said by a lot of great speakers to motivate their audience. But somehow, you most likely believe that some lives are authored by bloodline especially for people who are born with a silver spoon in the mouth. And you know that the quote ‘ You are the author of your life ’ is only applicable to regular people so that they couldn’t blame anyone for the poverty and scarcity they experience. -The Trap- Now let me tell you some truths that might shock the very core of you. The things that the world and the media has led you to believe are façade and lies to stop you from being free from the trap. And when I say trap, I mean that 9-5 job you’ve signed for. Trap is the routine that you do, an endless cycle of going to work, receiving your paycheck monthly, that’s not even enough to cover all the dues. Trap is also the miserable and dangerous world that you believe you are ...

A Gem Not Far From a Crowded City

Is your dream house unaffordable? Try looking for it in Fergus.   Fergus is the largest community in Centre Wellington, a township within Wellington County in Ontario and it is just a bit over one hour drive from Mississauga and Toronto. It lies on the Grand River about 18 km NNW of Guelph. The population of this community at the time of the 2016 Census was 20,767, but the community is growing as new homes are being built for sale. Fergus became an independent town until 1999 when the Township was formed by amalgamating Fergus, the Village of Elora, Ontario and the Townships of Nichol, Pilkington, West Garafraxa and a part of Eramosa. Fergus is has a number of natural settings such as the Elora Gorge and Conservation Area, and Belwood Lake. It is a mostly residential community filled with streets lined with trees, many stone buildings, modern schools, and many parklands suitable for recreation and picnics. It is laid out on a rectangular grid, with the Grand R...

Three Things Every Businessman Must Have

Maybe you are curious what it takes to be a successful businessman. Truth is, the things that I had learned more from them by merely observing them is twice as much than what I learned from the entire time I sat on my business management class from college. Here are the three things I believe that every successful businessman should have regardless of the field or business industry you are in.  1. Consistent Energy. In anything, consistency is always the name of the game. In business, consistency of the energy is one deciding factor whether the business will prosper or not. What is very consistent with all the successful people is the fire, the drive, and the passion. They just don’t let the vibe die. I guess enthusiasm is the word.  If you are not as enthusiastic and excited as before, your clients/customers would actually feel it. Whether you believe it or not, everything is made up of energy. Even your place of business has a vibe itself. I can still remember when...
