Managers of production / operations frequently do not engage explicitly in strategic planning exercises because more execution, transaction or the features are considered to be executed / operated. Organizations find them to be techniques that are being applied and have no reason to invest in them.

It is one of the main faults in the business. The key materials such as the raw material and inventory, plant and machinery, equipment and research have been developed and assembled. The company is at risk in order to adopt techniques that are not inexpensive at all and respond to profitability without production / operations.

ALTERNATE ANSWER:

Managers of production and companies are active every day in the running of the company. Their main function is to ensure that the operations go smoothly every day and to manage the activities which are part of goods and services development. Their direct duties include management of the processes, design, planning, monitoring and improvement of performance. Operations / managers in manufacturing also do not engage in business planning because they are entirely concentrated on the company's smooth operations.

This can be a significant weakness in the company as operations / managers receive knowledge about business results first hand. The data can be useful for designing an effective plan because when people who have the data do not engage in the process of development of the plan, the organization loses a big chance.
