Planning And KPI's Projections For The Next Trading Year.
Operations Manager:
Planning and having a time line with KPI's set each and every week is essential. Eg:
By reducing the costs of producing products and services and being efficient.
• Increasing revenue by increasing customer satisfaction through good quality and service.
• Reducing the amount of investment that is necessary to produce the required type and quantity of products and services by increasing the effective capacity of the operation.
• Providing the basis for future innovation by building a solid base of operations skills and knowledge within the business.
This role requires the knowledge of the difference between products and services, sometimes it can be hard to differentiate between the two. Therefore as a general guideline, products are usually tangible while services are intangible. You can physically touch a product, such as a desk, but you cannot touch advice on wine selection. Also, services usually have a shorter stored life while products can usually be stored for a period of time.

Choose Wisely.
Operations Manager:
Pros: I enjoy seeing the business grow because of the guys I have hired and trained. I have a lot of freedom in my job and get to travel a bit. My bosses live 4 hours away so it's just me and my guys down here.
Cons: Was told I would have raise in 3 months, it's been over 2 years without one. Had to relocate my family 250 miles for this job. Have to use my vehicle to do estimates, handle damages, drive guys to pick up rental trucks. 60,000 miles on my car in under 2 years due to job with no help in repairs. (Tires, oil change, rotate tires, brakes.) Will get yelled at if I put too much fuel in my truck. No benefits. (Insurance) Have doubled our sales since I became manager and have had no raise, no bonus, no hint of anything better to come. 5 years in this industry, 3 years managing and average less than when I was not in management. Had to upgrade my cell phone plan to accommodate work. No reimbursement. Rent is higher for less space than where I moved from. Work comes home with me (customers calling, employee problems etc.) Having to handle problems caused by home office as well as local issues. No future. Empty promises.
July 2014
Labor intensive.
Operations Manager:
Be able to multi- task and be very organized.
July 2014
Its A Lot Of Work.
Operations Manager:
Pros: The fact I get paid, that I have paid holidays and vacation time.
Cons: Having to fix problems caused by undependable people and co-workers not doing their share.
