Process of Strategic Operations Planning improved by Action Research
نویسنده
چکیده
Strategic Operations Planning has been well defined but rarely carried out in practise. A suitable planning process for busy, operationally-focused managers is considered likely to improve the extent of implementation.. A process should incorporate logistics of the whole supply chain as well as internal operations. The present process uses action research, in which an external facilitator stimulates and supports a team of manufacturing and related managers to formulate strategic plans. Four process applications in the Australian meat industry enabled the team of managers to produce strategic plans and provided rich research data.
