Functions & Communication in Pom

The document outlines the key functions of a production manager, including planning, organizing, controlling, directing, and staffing. It discusses selecting the right product, production process, capacity, and implementing production planning and control. Poor functions can lead to low productivity, vulnerability, lack of profitability, and exiting the market. Poor communication can result in quality issues, missed orders, increased scrap, absenteeism, and employee turnover. Overcoming poor communication involves training at all levels and having a servant leadership style, as demonstrated by Cargill's electronic shift system that addressed tasks, availability, and openness.
