LEARNING OUTCOMES:
Describe the 4M’s (Manpower, Method, Machine, Materials) of
operations in relation to the business opportunity
Appreciate the importance of production process, business model and
business plan
Apply the concept of 4M’s of production in a small manufacturing

What’s In
You previously learned about the 7 Ps of Marketing Mix: Product, Place,
Price, Promotion, People, Packaging, and Positioning. These elements are
crucial for attracting and retaining customers. Marketing plans are
designed to capture a significant portion of the market and outmaneuver
competitors.
A brand name is a unique identifier, such as a name, symbol, or design,
that sets a seller's products or services apart in the market. Your brand is
one of your most valuable assets, as it represents your customers'
comprehensive experience with your business.
Experts believe that a good brand can result in better loyalty for its
customers, a better corporate image and a more relevant identity.

lesson 4 ABSTACTION:
Entrepreneurial ventures can take various forms, such as sole
proprietorships, partnerships, or corporations, and can be involved in
merchandising, manufacturing, or service industries. However, what truly
sets entrepreneurs apart from ordinary business people is their innovative
and creative approach to identifying and capitalizing on business
opportunities.
The three fundamental elements of the production system are inputs, the
transformation process, and outputs.
Processes
4 M’s of Production
The most serious issues in the whole production system are the inputs
and the transformation process. Their quality determines the quality of
the output.
Davao Oriental State University
Banaybanay Campus
The factors involved in the input and the production process are usually
referred to as the Four M’s of production, namely Manpower, Method,
Machine, and Materials.
C. Machine
Manpower talks about human labor force involved in the manufacture of
products. It is measured as the most serious and main factor of
production. The entrepreneur must determine, attain and match the most
competent and skilled employees with the jobs at the most appropriate
time period.
Educational qualifications and experience, status of employment, number of
workers required, skills and expertise required for the job are some of the
manpower criteria that must be highly considered by the entrepreneur.
B. Materials
It simply refers to the raw materials necessary in the production of
a product. Materials mainly form part of the finished product. Just in case
the resources are below standard, the finished product will
unsatisfactory as well. The entrepreneur may consider cost, quality,
availability, credibility of suppliers and waste that the raw
materials may produce.

B. Machine
Machine is about manufacturing equipment used in the production of
goods or delivery of services. In the process of selecting the type of equipment
to purchase, the entrepreneur may consider types of products to be produced,
production system to be adopted, cost of the equipment, capacity of the
equipment, availability of spare parts in the local market, efficiency of the
equipment and the skills required in running the equipment.
C. Methods
Method or production method is the process or way of transforming raw
materials to finished products. The resources undergo some stages before it
is finalized and become set for delivery to the target buyers. The selection of
the method of production is dependent on product to produce, mode of
production, manufacturing equipment to use and required skills to do the work.
After knowing the production process and system, and how the product
is being processed, not it is important to know about product
description, wherein product description promotes and explains what a
product is and why it’s worth buying. The purpose of a product
description is to provide customers with details around the features
and benefits of the product so they’re obliged to buy.
Know who your target market is, focus on the product benefits, tell the
full story, use natural language and tone, use power words that sell,
and use good images. These are guidelines for you to have a good
product description; since some customers are very particular with it
since they consider the welfare of their family, if it is safe to use.
Testing product prototypes is crucial to ensure they meet customer needs and
expectations. This can help increase product awareness and sales. Pretesting
involves providing free samples to consumers so they can experience the
product or service before making a purchase decision.
In a manufacturing venture, the supplier plays a vital role. They are your
business partners, without them your business will not live. You need them as
much as you need your customers to be satisfied. But as an entrepreneur
you have to choose a potential supplier who has loyalty and values your
partnership: a supplier who would lead you to the fulfillment of your business
objectives, mission and vision.
This entity is part of a supply chain of a business, which may offer the main part
of the value contained within its products. Certain suppliers may even involve
in drop shipping, where they ship goods directly to the customers of the buyer.
Effective value chain management enhances the flow of products and materials
by accurately predicting sales and demand, optimizing inventory management,
minimizing delays, and ensuring product visibility and traceability throughout
the supply chain.
Process:
Supply chains are considered to be operational management processes and are
mostly logistical. Supply chain thinking is all about how to accomplish
manufacturing and distribution tasks efficiently and at low cost. Value chains are
seen as business management processes and are mostly analytical. Value chain
processes are about gathering information to discover what customers value
and figuring out how to imbue the product with those qualities.
Activities:
This is where the differences between supply chains and value chains become
clear, because value chain activities encompass a broader set of business
functions. This is especially noticeable when it comes to interaction with
customers. Supply chains are all about getting physical things transported and
manufactured cheaply, quickly and correctly, but value chain activities can also
include advertising to drive demand for products and market research activities
to solicit feedback from customers (e.g., surveys) to make sure the business is
actually delivering the value it believes it is. Value chains also include innovation,
design and product development activities. Beyond those primary activities,
Porter’s value chain model defines most other business operations as
“supporting activities,” including human resources, procurement, and
technology.
Order:
Supply chains are about production, so supply chain thinking is often linear —
they’re called assembly “lines” for a reason. But value chain thinking might affect
any supply chain step, in any order, based on customer feedback. For example, if
customers don’t like plastic straws anymore, a beverage maker may need to
start sourcing paper straws to stick on the side of its juice boxes. Once that
decision is made, there may be knock-on effects, such as economies of scale or
order-volume discounts available by sourcing the boxes themselves from the
same suppliers as the straws.

Objective:
The main objective of a supply chain is to continually improve the efficiency and
reliability of a production process. The main objective of a value chain is to
enhance the customer experience — which creates competitive advantage.
Consider product packaging. Supply chain thinking leads to using the least
expensive packaging that can be made flawlessly while protecting the product. A
value chain mentality should lead to that plus a great unboxing experience.
There’s a big difference between a customer cutting themselves on plastic
clamshell packaging and being so delighted by their packaging experience that
they post an unboxing video of their purchase to YouTube.
Steps:
Value chains have more steps than supply chains. With supply chains, you’re
figuring out how to best achieve known physical results. With value chain
thinking, you’re questioning whether different physical results may be desirable
as well. Consider vanilla ice cream. Supply chain thinking starts with “What’s the
cheapest and most reliable way to get vanilla that meets our criteria?” Value
chain thinking starts before that. It might, for example, ask questions such as
“How much do our customers value Tahitian vanilla? And would the extra expense
be counterbalanced by how much happier they’d be and how much more they’d
be willing to pay for ice cream made with it?” If the answers are “a lot” and “yes,”
respectively, that changes the relevant supply chain problem from “Get vanilla”
to “Get Tahitian vanilla.”

A business plan details a company's strategy for generating revenue and profits.
It outlines the products or services the company intends to produce and market,
the methods it will employ, and the anticipated expenses.
After developing a business model, the next step is to create a business plan. To
successfully complete this module, you must develop a business plan, implement
it, and maintain accurate records of business transactions.

BUSINESS PLAN
What is a Business Plan For?
Entrepreneurs who plan to enter any business endeavor must have a business
plan on hand to guide them throughout the process. Different business
plans are prepared for different purposes. There are business plans written
prior to setting up an enterprise, which are similar to a prefeasibility study and a
feasibility study. Many new enterprises need to convince prospective
business investors about the soundness and potential of their business.
Some business plans are created during the early stages of an enterprise to
guide entrepreneurs in making strategic decisions. Others are developed when a
business reaches a peak and aims to expand or reinvent itself.
Scenario 1:
“Jessie is the eldest of the five children of Mr. & Mrs. Natividad. The family is
having difficulty to support their everyday needs. Because of this, Jessie tried
selling banana cue and with his dream to make his business grow, he put up
many stalls in
the community without considering the advises of his friends to make a
business plan before implementing his decision. After a few months his stalls
shutdown.”
Scenario 2:
“Mercy is the youngest in the family. She found out that she loves to cut hair
and apply make up on her friends. Until such time that her friends introduced
her to their friends too for haircut and make up when there are
occasions. A few months after, Mercy was told by her friends to put up a
beauty parlor in their place. So she asks her mother who is also a
businesswoman to teach her how to make a business plan and eventually
ended with a successful business.”

Scenario 3:
“Monna is a diligent student: because of her knowledge gained from
school about business plan she was able to enhance her skills in business and
finally found herself into her laundry shop business.”
Each scenario taught us that a business is not just about how much income or
profit you can get, but it’s about the life of your business. And in having a
business, you also have to consider Technological forces, Social forces, Political
forces, Cultural forces, Economic forces and Legal forces.
