Turning inputs 投入 into outputs 产出
- Every business takes things in — materials, labour, machines — and turns them into something customers want.
- That transformation 转化 is operations 运营, the engine room of the firm.
把投入变成产出
- 每个企业拿进东西——材料、劳动、机器——并把它们变成顾客想要的东西。
- 那个转化是运营(operations),企业的引擎室。
Operations management turns: · 运营管理把:
Operations is the transformation of inputs into outputs. · 运营是把投入转化为产出。
Materials, labour and capital used in production are the ______ of operations. · 生产中使用的材料、劳动和资本是运营的______。
Inputs are transformed into outputs. · 投入被转化为产出。
The transformation process
- Inputs (materials, labour, capital) → process (the transformation) → outputs (goods or services).
- Operations management makes this flow efficient and reliable.
Operations turn inputs into outputs, adding value
转化过程
- 投入(inputs,材料、劳动、资本)→ 加工(process,转化)→ 产出(outputs,商品或服务)。
- 运营管理使这个流动高效且可靠。

运营把投入变成产出,增加价值
Operations: input → output · 运营:投入 → 产出
Operations management turns inputs into finished goods or services through a transformation process. · 运营管理通过一个转化过程把投入变成成品商品或服务。
6 workers produce 480 units. What is labour productivity (units per worker)? · 6 个工人生产 480 单位。劳动生产率(每工人单位)是多少?
480 / 6 = 80 units per worker. · 480 / 6 = 每工人 80 单位。
Efficiency in operations means: · 运营中的效率意味着:
Efficiency minimises resource waste. · 效率使资源浪费最小化。
Effectiveness is about actually meeting the objective, such as quality and on-time delivery. · 有效性关乎实际达到目标,如质量和准时交付。
Effectiveness = achieving the goal; efficiency = doing so without waste. · 有效性 = 实现目标;效率 = 没有浪费地做到。
Productivity 生产率, efficiency 效率, effectiveness 有效性
- Productivity = output ÷ inputs (e.g. output per worker).
- Efficiency = producing with the least waste of resources.
- Effectiveness = actually meeting the objective (quality, on time).
Worked example. A bakery makes 600 loaves with 5 bakers → labour productivity = 120 loaves per baker. Buying a better oven lifts output to 750 with the same 5 bakers → productivity rises to 150.
A distribution centre: operations management moves inputs through to finished goods
生产率、效率、有效性
- 生产率(productivity)= 产出 ÷ 投入(例如每工人的产出)。
- 效率(efficiency)= 以最少的资源浪费生产。
- 有效性(effectiveness)= 实际达到目标(质量、准时)。
例题。 一家面包店用 5 个面包师制造 600 个面包 → 劳动生产率 = 每面包师 120 个面包。买一个更好的烤箱用同样的 5 个面包师把产出提升到 750 → 生产率上升到 150。

一个配送中心:运营管理把投入推进到成品
Operations objectives
- Keep costs low, quality high, delivery reliable, and stay flexible.
- Increasingly, operations must also be sustainable 可持续的 (less waste, lower emissions).
运营目标
- 保持成本低、质量高、交付可靠,并保持灵活。
- 越来越多地,运营也必须是可持续的(更少浪费、更低排放)。
You've got it
- operations transform inputs → process → outputs
- productivity = output ÷ inputs; efficiency = least waste; effectiveness = meeting the objective
- operations aim for low cost, high quality, reliable delivery and flexibility
你掌握了
- 运营转化投入 → 加工 → 产出
- 生产率 = 产出 ÷ 投入;效率 = 最少浪费;有效性 = 达到目标
- 运营瞄准低成本、高质量、可靠交付和灵活性
