What's Business Operation Model

The Figure show you a business operation model for a manufacturing based company

For a company to operate, the core operation alone is not enough. There are supportive operation too.

For service-oriented and other types of company, the business model could be somewhat different. However, for every company, there is always a “core operation,” and a number of other supportive operation.

For example:

The core operation of an automobile company is to produce cars, and the core operation of Starbucks is to provide coffee service throughout the world.

The Figure listed several other typical elements needed in order to make a company fully operational, such as business process and business management.

"The success of the company depends on the successes of all aspects of business operation".

Before Business Excellence , quality was narrowly defined as the quality of product or service of the company provided to external customers; therefore, it relates only to the core operation.

Clearly, from the point of view of a business leader, this “quality” is only part of the story, because other critical factors for business success, such as cost, profit, time to market, and capital acquisition, are also related to other aspects of business operation.
