Imagine a major holiday company has recruited you to restructure their business by employing the principles of Operations Management. Sales, Marketing and Finance are centralised HQ functions based in the UK. They have twelve holiday centres at beaches in the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. Each centre comprises of:
• Accommodation
• Water sports (dinghy, windsurfing, yachting, diving, waterskiing, etc)
• Restaurant, bars, entertainment and retail
Currently the twelve holiday centres operate as stand alone businesses and produce quarterly reports for HQ manually. The company wants to automate this process so control data is available daily to local management and weekly to senior management at HQ.
The company also have substantial quality problems and most customers do not return for a second holiday. They are also concerned that their poor reputation precedes them via disgruntled customers.
