Late Delivery speed
Inability to make the product
or deliver the service quickly “in some markets a firm’s ability to
deliver more quickly than its competitors may be critical. A company can
offer an on-site repair service in only/or 2 hours, has a significant
advantage over a competing firm that guarantee service only within 24
hours.
In-ability to cope with changes in demand
Changes its
volume, in many market, a company’s ability to respond to increase and
decrease in demand is important to its ability to compete. Its is well
known that a company with increasing demand can do little wrong.
Poor product quality and reliability
Customers
wants product without defects, thus the goal of process quality is to
produce defect-free products and services, product and service
specification, give in dimensional tolerance and/or service error rate.
Define how the product or services is to be made.
Adherence to the specification is critical to ensure the reliability of the product or service as defined by its intended use.
Cost or price
Is another problem when the price of any product is too high it affects its competitive strength in the market.
Scarcity of fuel/petroleum products
I
find out that sometimes when the refineries are working in full
capacity, the dealers and distributors of the petroleum products hoard
these products and truck drivers are said to be diverting these product
elsewhere.
The pipeline and products marketing company, should be
also monitoring the activities of the tanker drivers, to ensure
effective and efficient distribution of the petroleum products. However,
all efforts have been to no avail, because usually during festival
periods or towards the end of the year, fuel scarcity is experienced in
most towns and cities in the country.
Most of these times there are
no official explanation for the scarcity. There are unpleasant long
queues of people waiting to buy petrol hours wasted by house wives
looking for kerosene to cook for the family, since cooking gas is out of
reach to an ordinary Nigerian.
With the suffering of the people in
general and increase of transportation fare’s it does not speak well of
an oil producing country like Nigeria for this reason, the situation
needs to be properly addressed which is what prompted the researcher to
undertake this research and also to give a situation analysis and
meaningful recommendation.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The
objective of the study is to analyse the impact of production skills in
the management of industries/business organization to portray how far
the application of production skills in the management has helped the
discipline level.
In this case therefore, it is important to note
that management is a very complex situation, because human beings as
individuals interact with one another in groups and in large
organization. It is also very important to note that every human
behaviour has a cause, there is a reason for a person behaving as he
does.
It aims to explain that a favourable working environment couple
with employees loyalty and commitment and skill to work increase
productivity.
Finally, management could also gain from this study in
that, it will help management to provide necessary refresher courses all
categories of personnel to sharpen their already acquired skills.
It also helps the management in facilitating their objectives and aims which are as follows:
- To profitably export petroleum products to existing and potential market at a minimum cost
- To provide an un-interrupted supply of crude oil to the refineries
-
To stimulate the sale of special products and promote import
subscription of petroleum products and special products, i.e. (9waxes,
base oil, bitumen, etc).
