4 M’s of Operation
1. METHOD. A particular form of procedure for accomplishing or approaching something
especially a systematic or established one.
Based on what is known, the Manager can determine the volume of cars that need to be
processed and who will be responsible for each step of the process. The Manager will
determine the most efficient way for each portion of the process to be done to eliminate areas
where time and man power are wasted. Controlling was is the key to efficient and profitable
production.
2. MANPOWER. The number of people working or available for work or service.
When examining the methods you now have in place, what is the ideal number of people it
will take to perform these methods and what positions should they be in? How will the
personnel be trained and measured for performance? What is the cycle time of each part of
the method?
3. MACHINE. An apparatus using or applying mechanical power and having several parts,
each with definite function and together performing a particular task.
When examining your facilities, vehicles and tools, do you have everything you need to
ensure the safety of the employees while maximizing the efficiency and productivity of the
department? Do all employees have access to the same tools and equipment if needed? Do
the tools enable them to perform tasks independently? Are they trained on how to maintain
the machinery and tools?
4. MATERIALS. The matter from which a thing is or can be made. Facts, information, or
ideas for use in creating work.
Do you have the materials needed to perform all parts of production and are they
conveniently located to minimize waste? Example: All material needed to clean and package
are always available and are placed to minimize effort. Does the layout of the production
department minimize wasted movement? Example: Does the part flow go throughout you
facility
