Chapter 1Organizations As Systems
The three major characteristics of open
systems are as follows (Fig 1.2):
They receive inputs or energy from their environment
They convert these inputs into outputs
They discharge their outputs into their environment .
Systems are divided into sub-systems. In organizations the sub-systems arethe various departments.
The boundaries between sub-systems are called interfaces
Boundaries are based on relationship
The result of Management decision and choices that really determines wherethe organization ends and the environment begins.

THE TRANSFORMATION PROCESS MODEL
All operations produce goods or services or a mixture of the two, and they do
this by a process of transformation. By transformation we mean that theyuse their resources to change the state or condition of something toproduce outputs.
For example, hospitals have inputs of doctors, nurses and other medical staff,administrators, cleaning staff, beds, medical equipment, pharmaceuticals,blood, dressings, and so on. Their purpose is to transform sick patients into
healthy patients. The outputs from the operation are treated patients,medical test results, medical research and 'best practice' medicalprocedures.

The inputs to an operation can be conveniently classified as either:
1-transformed resources the resources (mixture of customers, informationand materials) that are treated, transformed or converted in some way; or
2-transforming resources there are 2 types of operations blocks : theresources that act upon the (for example facilities like building andequipment, the staff who run and manage the operation) transformedresources.

Outputs from the transformation process
The outputs from the transformation process are goods are services, which are
generally seen as being different, for several reasons:
Tangibility-Goods are usually tangible.
Storability-Partly because of tangibility, goods can also be stored
Transportability-the ability to transport goods.
Simultaneity-services are often produced simultaneously with theirconsumption, happened at the same time as you 'consumed' the service byfollow up through the process)(buying it.
Customer contact-in services, because they are produced and consumedsimultaneously, they must have high contact between the customer and theoperation.

Chapter 12Reverse Logistics by Richard Lancioni
The urgency of a recall depends upon certain factors there are three classes:
Class I: Immediate risk, such product lead to death or serious injury
(e.g Johnson & Johnson)
Class II: No immediate hazardous and might still dangerous and causeinjury but have to be cleared quickly.
Class III : recalled for variety reasons , violation of federal regulations.
The scope of the recall process depends on the nature of the product andthe level of penetration in the distribution system.
The challenge exists for a logistician to design a reverse system ofdistribution and get it to work at a desired performance level at the lowestpossible total cost.

Locating the Product
Three distinct levels of increasing difficulty associated with the penetration of
the product in the system:
Product still under control of he manufacturer in company controlledwarehouses or primary distributor controlled warehouses. A simplematter to recall.
Product would have to be located and withdrawn from the middlemen involved
in the distribution of the product (wholesalers and retailers). RecallSlightly more difficult.
Product is in the hand of consumers. the most difficult.
Movement of the product into each successive level not only complicates
the recall for the logistician but adds to the cost of the operation as well.

Retrieval of Products
After the product is located, logisticians can coordinate the process of retrieving
the product in the field either through:he company's field sales forcet
the retailer or other middlemen
outside collection specialists
Effective retrievals require that:
The customer be motivated to return defective products for repair, replacementor refund.
Good relationships be established among carriers and other participants in thedistribution process such as channel members.
The biggest obstacle in recalling products is the consumers. .

So, the staff will misunderstand their supervisor instruction and do wrong things.

There are 10 stages to walk through the OMC:
Order planning, show how and why bad customer service and fragmented operationscan cripple a company. Sales people, marketing and operation need to cooperate.
Order generation, this stage usually produces a gap between order generation, orderplanning, and later steps.
Cost estimation and pricing, the battles between engineers who estimating, accountantwho calculate the cost, a headquarters group that oversees pricing, and sales thatactually develop the price.
Order receipt and entry, takes place in customer services department when thecustomer reps in contact with the customers, sometimes no connection with the topmanagement.
Order selection and prioritisation, the process of choosing which order to accept andwhich to decline. Smart company like the order with business strategy. The decision
are taking by top management, customer service reps.

FOUR KEY PROBLEMS
After tracing some individual orders four problems emerged:
1- Most companies never view the OMC as a whole system.
Each department think separately, and they count on each other.
2- Overlapping responsibilities. The department can not differentiate between
the primary and the sole responsibilities.
3- The people in the bottom of the organization know more than topmanagement but can not communicate with them.
4 -The customer remains as remote from the OMC as top management do.
The top management out of the picture completely regarding customersactivities (complain, order, pay, )

How to fix an OMC
Analysis understand the flow of activities and to have a clear picture aboutorder flow, difficulties and discuss a solutions in visible way.
.Companies need to look at the OMC from the customers point of viewmaybe the organization reach the goal but the customer not satisfied.
System Focus Put the pieces together, move across boundaries
Political Strategy Staple yourself to an order
Political Strategy - The best way to improve the situation in any company is toclose the loop between service provider and strategy setter. the customermay like to have their things in a drum rather than plastic rapping !
