Ashwamedh 2006

Ashwamedh 2006

Globally, organizations have realized the importance of operations in service industry. With this increasing role of Operations in service sector, organizations are focusing on redesigning and simplifying processes to drive down costs. In this era of knowledge economy, global organizations are increasingly depending on services. India also joining the league with service sector contributing about 50% percent of the GDP. This has lead to many of the big giants focusing more on service sector and thus FDI in India is at its peak.

Service organizations are looking at manufacturing sector for support and are adopting manufacturing techniques to improve their process efficiencies. They are making back offices leaner and meaner by integrating processes and systems to deliver operational efficiencies. Value adding activity is built on this sound base.

Lean, volume proofed business processes are a prerequisite for a competitive expense ratio. Innovations in operating solutions remove the high number of manual interventions in processes and therefore slash costs. Increased globalization is placing greater emphasis on creating visibility within the supply chain by sharing applications and data with business partners via the Internet.
