Business management question operations

(1/1)

Hi Guys just wondering if someone can please clarify my confusion down below.

The question is " How can the operations function contribute to making a profit"


·       Using technology can lower the cost of production (less expenses)

 .    Making a high quality product= charging a higher price but making it for the same amount= profit.

 
However I am unsure about how to go about this one because this can be achievable if you are reducing the amount of money associated with waste (by using quality checks) but doesn’t implementing the systems cost money anyway so you wouldn't be making a profit??

Thanks

Implementing any system usually costs money. For example implementing robotics may have a massive upfront cost but the productivity gains it can deliver to a business will almost always pay for itself in a shortish period of time.
So implementing any strategy that reduces expenses may have an upfront cost but be ultimately worth it.

okay so as long as you would mention that for the long term, it can increase  profit :) thanks
