The improvement on operation problem through the daily effort is limited and expensive because of changes involved. The excellent operation should starts from the product development.
The functions of an organization will be discussed and the importance of the product development to organization and operation are highlighted. Understanding how the product development influences the operation performance and how the product development leads to excellent operation are critical to make the right strategies of product development and allocate right resource to achieve excellent operation from the initial stage.
The excellent operation transfers resource to goods and services to meet customer’s need and organization objectives effectively and efficiently. Five performance objectives: cost, dependability, flexibility, quality and speed are set to measure the excellence of the operation performance. In order to achieve that, the product development should consider the requirement of excellent operation and eliminate the potential problem. After the in-depth analysis, VPP can make its operation performance closer to be excellent through enhancement on strategy alignment; value engineering; supply chain; quality design; review and gating point.
