Q
Explain how technology can be used in the Operations department
A
EPOS can be used with computerised inventory control to automatically re-order depleted inventory. This means that the business will not suffer the consequences of understocking.
Spreadsheets can be used to accurately and quickly produce production budgets. This means the business will be able to plan ahead and have targets to aim for.
The internet can be used to research supplier prices. The effect of this is that the organisation can research different suppliers to find the one that has the best price and find the one that is best for them.
