Carry out an operations analysis focussing on operations and design and the implications for areas of capacity and inventory management. Choose two operations from the same sector. Compare and contrast the two operations to identify how they might be similar and how they might be different. They will likely work at very different demand volume levels, at different profit margins, some have local manufacturing, some centralized, and so on.

Carry out a comparative operations analysis across your chosen organisations with the following:

• A comparative Four Vs analysis
• A comparative Performance Map of the five performance objectives
