Dominating factors in manufacturing and services Organization
DOMINATING FACTORS IN MANUFACTURING:
Six group of factors dominate locating decision for new Manufacturing plants. These are listed in
order of preference.
1. Favorable Labor Climate(Most Important factor):
A favorable labor may be most important factor in location decision (Labor is easily and in huge
capacity is available)for labor intensive firms/industries such as Textile, Furniture requirements,
Fertilizer, Ghee industries.
2. Selection of location:
After considering the demand of goods and services, management must select a location for the
facility that will supply that demand and locating near markets is again very important when
final goods are bulky or heavy ant outbound cost is very high.
3. Quality of life:
Good schools, recreational facilities, cultural events and attractive life style contribute to quality
of life. This factor is un-important at its own, but it can make a difference in location decision
e.g. Beachon House School
4. Proximity (Near/close)to Supplier and Resources:
Firms dependent on input of bulky, perishable, or heavy raw material, emphasize proximity to
supplier and resources, such as inbound transaction cost become a dominant factor, encourages
such firms to locate facilities near suppliers.
Examples; Locating paper mill near forests, Food processing near farms, Sugar Mill in sugar
cane growers area.
5. Proximity to Present Company:
In many companies plants supply parts to other facilities, or rely on other facilities for
management and staff supply. These ties require frequent co-ordination and communication
,which can be more as distance increases.
6. Utilities, Taxes and Real Estate costs:
Other important factors may include utility cost (telephone, energy and water )local state taxes
and land cost etc. Entrepreneur will consider above factors also while taking a location decision.
7. Other factors:
Operation Management TERM REPORT
In Banks
11
Like room for expansion, construction, cost accessibility to multiple modes of transportation,
local ordinance and may others.
DOMINATING FACTORS IN SERVICES:
The following important factors in Services organization:
1.Proximity to Customer:
Location is the key factor in determining how conveniently customers can carry on business with
a firm
Example: Few people will patronize a remotely located dry cleaner or super markets if an other
is not more conveniently available.
2.Transportation cost & proximity to Market:
This is again very important factor in service organization, like Hospitals, Banks if located near
to customers, those make more business sales.
3.Location of competitors:
One complication in estimating the sales potential at different location is the impact of
competitors.
 Management must consider the current location of competitors.
 Avoid areas where the competitors are already established.
 However in such industries such as cars sales shoe room and fast food chain, locating
near competitors are advantageous.
4.Site specific factors:
Retailers must consider the level of retail activity, residential destiny ,traffic flow and site
visibility.
 Retail activity in the area is important as shoppers often decide on impulsive to go for
shopping or to eat in a restaurant.
 Traffic flow and visibility are important because business customers arrive in cars.
Differences and similarities between manufacturing and services
organization
Manufacturing & Services, Differences& Similarities
History of Operation Management till middle of 20th century (1950), it was considered/focused of
Management of Manufacturing Organizations, and thus called as Industrial Management or
Production Management.
Operation Management TERM REPORT
In Banks
12
Service organizations, because they performed almost at handicraft level, were largely ignored.
Today‘s Manager apply,
 Quality
 Job Design
 Capacity
 Facility
 Location
 Layout
 Inventory& Scheduling to both manufacturing and provision of service.
Benefits.
Benefits of these applications are improved quality…….reduces the cost…… and increase the
value to the customer all of which give a firm Competitive Edge.
Difference between Manufacturing and Services Operation:
Manufacturing/goods producing Services Organization
1. Physical, durable products. 1.Intanglible, perishable products
2. Output can be inventorised. 2. Output cannot be inventorised.
3. Low customer Contact. 3. High customer Contact.
4. Long response time. 4. Short response time.
5.Regional,National or International Market 5. Local Market
6.Large facilities 6. Small facilities
7.Capital Intensive 7. Labour Intensive
8. Quality easily measured. 8. Quality not easily measured.
Explanation:
Difference between Manufacturing and Services Operation fall into eight categories
Operation Management TERM REPORT
In Banks
13
Manufacturing/goods producing Services Organization
1. First distinction arises from physical
nature of the product; Manufactured goods
are physical, durable products.
1. Services are intangible, perishable
product…often being ideas, concepts or
information.
2. Output can be produced, stored and
transported in anticipation of future
demand….. inventorised.
2. Services cannot be pre-produced, services
organization don’t have the luxury of using
finished goods, inventories as a cushion
against Erratic customer demand.
3. Most of products have little customer
contact with production system. Primary
customer contact with distributor and
Retailer.
3. However in many service organizations
like college .hospital, airport, and Railway
stations etc customer are input and output
is Degree, healing of patients, movement of
passengers from one place to another.
4. Response time is long in case of
manufacturing of goods, it can be weeks or
month. This depends upon demand like
garments manufacturer serves orders of
manufactured, may be 15 to 30 days.
4. Response time is short, rather immediate,
patient admitted hospital , Bank branch to
en-cash cheques, deposit cash etc.
5. Location or size of operation, regional
aspect. Manufacturing concerns serves
National, Regional or International Market.
5. Service organizations require direct
customer contact, must locate relatively
near their customer.
6. Therefore larger facilities required
(Spinning/weaving or Garments
manufacturer)
6. Relatively facilities at small or medium
size required (Like hair dresser ,
restaurants etc)
Operation Management TERM REPORT
In Banks
14
7.These are usually capital intensive,
(Spinning, Weaving , Fertilizer units)
7.Labour intensive (Like banks, hospitals)
8. In manufacturing system , there are
tangible products and less customer contact
,quality relatively easy to measure (Like
cloth quality can be measured in a weaving
unit)
8. The quality of service system which
generally produce intangible which is
harder to measure. Further individuals
performance affect assessment of service
with friendly chat with salesman…….other
may assess quality by the speed and
efficiency of transactions.
Similarities in Manufacturing & Services Operations:
Despite distinction, the similarities between manufacturing and services operation are compelling;
1) Every organization has processes that must be designed and managed effectively, some
type of technology, be it manual or computerized, must be used in each process.
2) Every organization is concerned about quality, productivity and timely response to
customer.
3) A services provider, like a manufacturing concern must make choice about the capacity,
location and layout of its facilities.
4) Every organization deals with supplier of outside service and materials, as well as
scheduling problems.
5) Matching staffing levels and capacities with forecasted demand is universal problem.
6) Finally the distinctions between manufacturing and services operations can get cloudy,
consider how the first three distinctions can get blurred.
7) Manufacturer do not just offer products, and services organization do not just offer
services…..Both type of organization normally provide a package of goods and services;
i.customers expect both good service and good food at Restaurant and both good service
and quality goods from Retailer.
ii Manufacturing firm offer many customer, services after sale.
Operation Management TERM REPORT
In Banks

8) Despite the fact that service provider can’t inventoried their output, but they must inventory
their products.
Example; hospital must maintains an adequate supply of Medicines
9) As far customer contact, many service operations have little outside customer contact.
Example; i. Back office operations of bank……
Ii. Baggage handling at an Airport.
10) Everyone in an organization has some customer,
i. Outside customers (External Customer)
ii .Inside customers (Internal Customers, own employees)
Cross functional coordination
What is cross functional coordination and describe ways to achieve this cross
functional coordination?
Cross functional coordination:
Operation manager need to build and maintain solid relationships both inter organizationally and
intra organizationally. Intra organizational relationship means “cross functional coordination”
In this relation, jobs or tasks move sequentially from marketing to operation. In this ways
decision making is slow as decision are taken by different departments not at organizational level
perspective.
Cross functional coordination is necessary for effective operation management like
1. Marketing department:
Operation strongest connection is with the marketing function which determines the need for
new product and services and the demand for the existing one.
Operation manager must bring together human and capital resources to handle demand
efficiently.
Operation must consider facility, location and relocation to serve new markets and the design
of layout for service organization must match the image that marketing seeks to convey the
customer.
Marketing and sales make delivery promises to customers which must be related to their
current operation capabilities
Operation Management TERM REPORT

Marketing demand forecast guide the operation manager in planning output rate and
capacities.
2. Accounting department:
Operation manager also need feedback from accounting function to understand current
performance.
Financial measures help the operation manager asses the labor cost, long term benefits of
new technologies and quality improvements.
Accounting can help the operation manager monitored the production system.
Operation managers can point out problems and their remedies.
Accounting also help has an impact on the operations because of order fulfillment cycle
3. Human resource function:
It interacts with operation to hire and trained workers and aids in change overly related to
new process and job design.
Human resource can help make promotion and transfer into and out of operation easier,
thereby encouraging cross functional coordination
4. Engineering function:
It also can have a big impact on operation.
In designing new product, engineering needs to consider technical trade off it must ensue that
the product design not create costly specification or exceed operations.
5. Researchand development:
It helps operations for new product and services.
Tools that are used to achieve cross functionalcoordination:
There are several approaches to achieve cross functional coordination. Each organization should
select one of them to get everyone pulling in the same direction. These are:
1. Unified strategy:
It should be developed by the management as a starting point. Giving each department a vision
of what it must do to help fulfill overall organizational strategy.
Strategy: means a plan of action designed to achieve long term or overall aim
Vision: means the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination and wisdom.

2. Organizationalstructure and managementhierarchy:
 It can be redesigned to promote cross functional coordination.
 Drawing departmental lines around the area of specialization may work against the
integration by creating insular view and turf battles.
3. Goalsetting process andreward system:
 It can encourage cross functional coordination.
 So bringing peoples from different functional areas through task forces or committees to
make decision and solve problems.
4. Improvement to information:
 It can also boost cross functional coordination.
 Information must impart to tailor the needs of each functional manager. However sharing
information helps harmonies the efforts of managers from different parts of the
organization and enables them to make decisions consistent with organizational goals.
5. Informal socialsystem:
It is another device that can be used to boost coordination and beetr understanding across
functional lines.
Examples: joint cafeteria facilities, exercises rooms and social events can help to build a sense of
joint ownership and working together.
6. Employee selectionandpromotion:
It also can help foster more cross functional coordination by encouraging broad perspective and
common goals. Employees must first be competent in their own skill area.
Conclusion:
Best mix of approaches depends on the organization, some organization need more cross
functional coordination:
 The need is greatest when the functions are wide spread (due to organizational strtucre or
geographical distance)
 Organizations are large
 Many products and services are customized

Types of cheques, crossing, removing of crossing
What is cheque?
A cheque which is payable to a particular person or his order is called an order cheque. This is
a cheque whereby the printed word “Bearer” on the cheque is cancelled. An order cheque can be
paid to the named payee across the bank's account if so presented.
Types of cheques:
1. Order Cheque:
A cheque which is payable to a particular person or his order is called an order cheque.
 This is a cheque whereby the printed word “Bearer” on the cheque is cancelled. The
cancellation of the word “Bearer” automatically makes the cheque an “order” cheque.
Operation Management TERM REPORT
In Banks
28
 An order cheque can be paid to the named payee across the bank’s account if so
presented.
 Identification must be insisted on by the bank when encashing the order cheque for the
presenter. The ID number and the named payee’s signature will be asked for on the back
of the cheque.
2. Bearer Cheque :
A cheque which is payable to a person whosoever bears, is called bearer cheque.
 The cheque sometimes can be made payable to “Cash” or bearer or made payable to a
specific name, for example, “bujji sekhar or Bearer”.
 This cheque is payable by the drawee bank over the counter to the Bearer or presenter
of the cheque.
 A Bearer cheque can be negotiated or pass to another person by mere delivery. In other
words, the holder (or the Transferor), when giving it to another person need not endorse
the cheque.
 No identification is needed when a bearer cheque is presented for encashment.
However, in normal banking practice, where the amount of the cheque is substantial,
the identity of the encasher is insisted on.
 A bearer cheque can be collected by the bank for the credit of anyone’s account
 In banking practice, the need for the encasher’s signature on the back of the cheque is
merely to evidence that the encasher has received the money from the bank.
3. Blank Cheque:
A cheque on which the drawer puts his signature and leaves all other columns blank is called a
blank cheque.
1. A check that is signed by the payer but with no specific amount indicated, leaving this
determination up to the drawee.
2. More generally, a term used for any situation in which a usually high level of trust is
afforded by one party to another.
Operation Management TERM REPORT

4. Post Dated Cheque:
If a cheque bears a date later than the date of issue, it is termed as postdated cheque.
Any check or draft that has a future date written upon it by the user. The amount of the check will
not be drawn from the account until the date written on the check. For example, a check written
on the 14th of the month but dated for the 28th will not be cashed for another two weeks.
5. Open Cheque:
 A cheque that is not a crossed cheque. The person whose name appears on the cheque
can write the name of another person on it, and the money will be paid to them.
 An open cheque is a cheque that is not crossed on the left corner and payable at the
drawee bank on presentation of the cheque.
 The words ‘OPEN’ should not be struck off and the person issuing the cheque should
sign on the reverse of the cheque also before giving it to another person; otherwise the
bank may refuse payment. The latter can collect the money from any branch of the bank
nowadays, depending on the bank. S/he should also sign at the back of the cheque while
receiving the amount.
6. Crossed Cheque:
A crossed cheque is one which has two short parallel lines marked across its face.
 A cheque which carries too parallel transverse lines across the face of the cheque with
or without the words “I and co”, is said to be crossed.
 Crossed cheques are of two types. By simply crossing a cheque or with the words” &
Co”, by the payer, the payee can either deposit it in his/her account or endorse it in favor
of another person on the reverse. This practice is nowadays not accepted by the banks.
 The advantage of crossing is that it reduces the danger of unauthorized persons getting
possession of a cheque and cashing it. A crossed cheque can only be cashed through a
bank of which the payee of the cheque is a customer.
 A cheque crossed generally will be paid to any bank through which it is presented.
 A cheque crossed specially will be paid only when it is presented for collection by the
bank named between the parallel lines. Such crossing affords a greater measure of
protection against loss.

Types of crossing:
i. General crossing:
A crossed cheque generally is a cheque that only bears two parallel transverse lines, optionally
with the words 'and company' or '& Co.' (or any abbreviation of them) on the face of the
cheque,between the lines, usually at the top left corner or at any place in the approximate half (in
width) of the cheque. In the UK, the crossing is across the cheque by the person who originally
wrote the cheque (the drawer), or it can legitimately be added by the person the cheque is payable
to (the payee), or even by the bank that the cheque is being paid into.
Generally-crossed cheques can only be paid into a bank account, so that the beneficiary can be
traced
A crossed cheque on its own does not affect the negotiability of the instrument.
ii. Restrictive or special crossings:
Where some customary instruction is written between the two parallel transverse lines
(constituting crossing of cheque) that may result in imposing certain restrictions on the collecting
or paying banker, it is called restrictive crossing. The example is "A/c Payee only" or "State Bank
of India". In these cases, the respective restrictions mandate to pay the cheque in the account of
the payee only or to pay the cheque through State Bank of India (acting as collecting banker) only.
iii. Account payee:
Adding a crossing to a cheque increases its security in that it cannot be cashed at a bank counter
but must be paid into an account in exactly the same name as that which appears on the ‘payee’
line of the cheque (i.e. the person who has received the cheque, who is legally the “payee” and
“holder” of the cheque).
iv. Specific bank:
A crossing may have the name of a specific banker added between the lines. A cheque with a such
a crossing can only be paid into an account at that bank.
The beneficiary bank can add an additional crossing to allow another bank, who are acting as their
agent in collecting payment on cheques, to be paid the cheque on their behalf.
v. Not negotiable:
The words 'not negotiable' can be added to a crossing.
The effect of such a crossing is that it removes the most important characteristic of a negotiable
instrument: the transferee of such a crossed cheque cannot get a better title than that of the
transferor (cannot become a holder in due course) and cannot convey a better title to his own
transferee, but the instrument remains transferable.
Opening of cross the cheques:
Since crossing is material part of the cheque. Its cancelation amount to material alteration. Hence
only the drawer of the cheque is authorized to cancel the general crossing even through the
instrument was crossed after been deceived to payee.

Banker’s right of sett-off
Right of set-off
Definition
“Set-off means adjusting debit balance against the deposit balance in other account or account of
the same borrower’’
Set-off is a statutory right of Bankers.
The institute of Bankers in London expressed its views in its Journal in 1924 in following words.
“The Right of set-off has however long been recognized as being subject to Limitations
Which in many circumstances deprive it or much of its value to the banker”.
Once sometime has occurred to stop the account, as for example, The death of the customer or
the commission of an available act if bankrupts by him, the banker’s Right of set-off comes into
operations without restrictions, but so long as the accounts are active. The bankers cannot set-off
the debit balance of the account against other balance of the other, except after reasonable
notices given to the customer, unless either,
(a)There is a definite agreement giving the banker the right or
(b)Such right can be inferred from the course of business between the bankers and its customer
1. From ordinary course of business, it would be a matter of great difficulty to establish
such a right.
2. It would therefore, usually be un-wise to rely on any right of set-off to a accept subject to
a reasonable notice, and it is very obviously that the necessity of giving notice would
deprive the right of most of its value.

Dominating factors in manufacturing and services Organization DOMINATING FACTORS IN MANUFACTURING: Six group of factors dominate locating decision for new Manufacturing plants. These are listed in order of preference. 1. Favorable Labor Climate(Most Important factor): A favorable labor may be most important factor in location decision (Labor is easily and in huge capacity is available)for labor intensive firms/industries such as Textile, Furniture requirements, Fertilizer, Ghee industries. 2. Selection of location: After considering the demand of goods and services, management must select a location for the facility that will supply that demand and locating near markets is again very important when final goods are bulky or heavy ant outbound cost is very high. 3. Quality of life: Good schools, recreational facilities, cultural events and attractive life style contribute to quality of life. This factor is un-important at its own, but it can make a difference in location decision e.g. Beachon House School 4. Proximity (Near/close)to Supplier and Resources: Firms dependent on input of bulky, perishable, or heavy raw material, emphasize proximity to supplier and resources, such as inbound transaction cost become a dominant factor, encourages such firms to locate facilities near suppliers. Examples; Locating paper mill near forests, Food processing near farms, Sugar Mill in sugar cane growers area. 5. Proximity to Present Company: In many companies plants supply parts to other facilities, or rely on other facilities for management and staff supply. These ties require frequent co-ordination and communication ,which can be more as distance increases. 6.

DOMINATING FACTORS IN SERVICES: The following important factors in Services organization: 1.Proximity to Customer: Location is the key factor in determining how conveniently customers can carry on business with a firm Example: Few people will patronize a remotely located dry cleaner or super markets if an other is not more conveniently available. 2.Transportation cost & proximity to Market: This is again very important factor in service organization, like Hospitals, Banks if located near to customers, those make more business sales. 3.Location of competitors: One complication in estimating the sales potential at different location is the impact of competitors.  Management must consider the current location of competitors.  Avoid areas where the competitors are already established.  However in such industries such as cars sales shoe room and fast food chain, locating near competitors are advantageous. 4.Site specific factors: Retailers must consider the level of retail activity, residential destiny ,traffic flow and site visibility.  Retail activity in the area is important as shoppers often decide on impulsive to go for shopping or to eat in a restaurant.  Traffic flow and visibility are important because business customers arrive in cars. Differences and similarities between manufacturing and services organization Manufacturing & Services, Differences& Similarities History of Operation Management till middle of 20th century (1950), it was considered/focused of Management of Manufacturing Organizations, and thus called as Industrial Management or Production Management.
  • 12. Operation Management TERM REPORT In Banks 12 Service organizations, because they performed almost at handicraft level, were largely ignored. Today‘s Manager apply,  Quality  Job Design  Capacity  Facility  Location  Layout  Inventory& Scheduling to both manufacturing and provision of service. Benefits. Benefits of these applications are improved quality…….reduces the cost…… and increase the value to the customer all of which give a firm Competitive Edge. Difference between Manufacturing and Services Operation: Manufacturing/goods producing Services Organization 1. Physical, durable products. 1.Intanglible, perishable products 2. Output can be inventorised. 2. Output cannot be inventorised. 3. Low customer Contact. 3. High customer Contact. 4. Long response time. 4. Short response time. 5.Regional,National or International Market 5. Local Market 6.Large facilities 6. Small facilities 7.Capital Intensive 7. Labour Intensive 8. Quality easily measured. 8. Quality not easily measured. Explanation: Difference between Manufacturing and Services Operation fall into eight categories
  • 13. Operation Management TERM REPORT In Banks 13 Manufacturing/goods producing Services Organization 1. First distinction arises from physical nature of the product; Manufactured goods are physical, durable products. 1. Services are intangible, perishable product…often being ideas, concepts or information. 2. Output can be produced, stored and transported in anticipation of future demand….. inventorised. 2. Services cannot be pre-produced, services organization don’t have the luxury of using finished goods, inventories as a cushion against Erratic customer demand. 3. Most of products have little customer contact with production system. Primary customer contact with distributor and Retailer. 3. However in many service organizations like college .hospital, airport, and Railway stations etc customer are input and output is Degree, healing of patients, movement of passengers from one place to another. 4. Response time is long in case of manufacturing of goods, it can be weeks or month. This depends upon demand like garments manufacturer serves orders of manufactured, may be 15 to 30 days. 4. Response time is short, rather immediate, patient admitted hospital , Bank branch to en-cash cheques, deposit cash etc. 5. Location or size of operation, regional aspect. Manufacturing concerns serves National, Regional or International Market. 5. Service organizations require direct customer contact, must locate relatively near their customer. 6. Therefore larger facilities required (Spinning/weaving or Garments manufacturer) 6. Relatively facilities at small or medium size required (Like hair dresser , restaurants etc)
  • 14. Operation Management TERM REPORT In Banks 14 7.These are usually capital intensive, (Spinning, Weaving , Fertilizer units) 7.Labour intensive (Like banks, hospitals) 8. In manufacturing system , there are tangible products and less customer contact ,quality relatively easy to measure (Like cloth quality can be measured in a weaving unit) 8. The quality of service system which generally produce intangible which is harder to measure. Further individuals performance affect assessment of service with friendly chat with salesman…….other may assess quality by the speed and efficiency of transactions. Similarities in Manufacturing & Services Operations: Despite distinction, the similarities between manufacturing and services operation are compelling; 1) Every organization has processes that must be designed and managed effectively, some type of technology, be it manual or computerized, must be used in each process. 2) Every organization is concerned about quality, productivity and timely response to customer. 3) A services provider, like a manufacturing concern must make choice about the capacity, location and layout of its facilities. 4) Every organization deals with supplier of outside service and materials, as well as scheduling problems. 5) Matching staffing levels and capacities with forecasted demand is universal problem. 6) Finally the distinctions between manufacturing and services operations can get cloudy, consider how the first three distinctions can get blurred. 7) Manufacturer do not just offer products, and services organization do not just offer services…..Both type of organization normally provide a package of goods and services; i.customers expect both good service and good food at Restaurant and both good service and quality goods from Retailer. ii Manufacturing firm offer many customer, services after sale.
  • 15. Operation Management TERM REPORT In Banks 15 8) Despite the fact that service provider can’t inventoried their output, but they must inventory their products. Example; hospital must maintains an adequate supply of Medicines 9) As far customer contact, many service operations have little outside customer contact. Example; i. Back office operations of bank…… Ii. Baggage handling at an Airport. 10) Everyone in an organization has some customer, i. Outside customers (External Customer) ii .Inside customers (Internal Customers, own employees) Cross functional coordination What is cross functional coordination and describe ways to achieve this cross functional coordination? Cross functional coordination: Operation manager need to build and maintain solid relationships both inter organizationally and intra organizationally. Intra organizational relationship means “cross functional coordination” In this relation, jobs or tasks move sequentially from marketing to operation. In this ways decision making is slow as decision are taken by different departments not at organizational level perspective. Cross functional coordination is necessary for effective operation management like 1. Marketing department: Operation strongest connection is with the marketing function which determines the need for new product and services and the demand for the existing one. Operation manager must bring together human and capital resources to handle demand efficiently. Operation must consider facility, location and relocation to serve new markets and the design of layout for service organization must match the image that marketing seeks to convey the customer. Marketing and sales make delivery promises to customers which must be related to their current operation capabilities
  • 16. Operation Management TERM REPORT In Banks 16 Marketing demand forecast guide the operation manager in planning output rate and capacities. 2. Accounting department: Operation manager also need feedback from accounting function to understand current performance. Financial measures help the operation manager asses the labor cost, long term benefits of new technologies and quality improvements. Accounting can help the operation manager monitored the production system. Operation managers can point out problems and their remedies. Accounting also help has an impact on the operations because of order fulfillment cycle 3. Human resource function: It interacts with operation to hire and trained workers and aids in change overly related to new process and job design. Human resource can help make promotion and transfer into and out of operation easier, thereby encouraging cross functional coordination 4. Engineering function: It also can have a big impact on operation. In designing new product, engineering needs to consider technical trade off it must ensue that the product design not create costly specification or exceed operations. 5. Researchand development: It helps operations for new product and services. Tools that are used to achieve cross functionalcoordination: There are several approaches to achieve cross functional coordination. Each organization should select one of them to get everyone pulling in the same direction. These are: 1. Unified strategy: It should be developed by the management as a starting point. Giving each department a vision of what it must do to help fulfill overall organizational strategy. Strategy: means a plan of action designed to achieve long term or overall aim Vision: means the ability to think about or plan the future with imagination and wisdom.
  • 17. Operation Management TERM REPORT In Banks 17 2. Organizationalstructure and managementhierarchy:  It can be redesigned to promote cross functional coordination.  Drawing departmental lines around the area of specialization may work against the integration by creating insular view and turf battles. 3. Goalsetting process andreward system:  It can encourage cross functional coordination.  So bringing peoples from different functional areas through task forces or committees to make decision and solve problems. 4. Improvement to information:  It can also boost cross functional coordination.  Information must impart to tailor the needs of each functional manager. However sharing information helps harmonies the efforts of managers from different parts of the organization and enables them to make decisions consistent with organizational goals. 5. Informal socialsystem: It is another device that can be used to boost coordination and beetr understanding across functional lines. Examples: joint cafeteria facilities, exercises rooms and social events can help to build a sense of joint ownership and working together. 6. Employee selectionandpromotion: It also can help foster more cross functional coordination by encouraging broad perspective and common goals. Employees must first be competent in their own skill area. Conclusion: Best mix of approaches depends on the organization, some organization need more cross functional coordination:  The need is greatest when the functions are wide spread (due to organizational strtucre or geographical distance)  Organizations are large  Many products and services are customized
  • 18. Operation Management TERM REPORT In Banks 18 Common factors to be used by manufacturing and services organization with respect to location Common factors of manufacturing and services: History of operations management till middle of 20 century (1950) , it was considered focused the management of manufacturing organization, and thus called as industrial management or production management.

A cheque which is payable to a particular person or his order is called an order cheque. This is a cheque whereby the printed word “Bearer” on the cheque is cancelled. An order cheque can be paid to the named payee across the bank's account if so presented. Types of cheques: 1. Order Cheque: A cheque which is payable to a particular person or his order is called an order cheque.  This is a cheque whereby the printed word “Bearer” on the cheque is cancelled. The cancellation of the word “Bearer” automatically makes the cheque an “order” cheque.
  • 28. Operation Management TERM REPORT In Banks 28  An order cheque can be paid to the named payee across the bank’s account if so presented.  Identification must be insisted on by the bank when encashing the order cheque for the presenter. The ID number and the named payee’s signature will be asked for on the back of the cheque. 2. Bearer Cheque : A cheque which is payable to a person whosoever bears, is called bearer cheque.  The cheque sometimes can be made payable to “Cash” or bearer or made payable to a specific name, for example, “bujji sekhar or Bearer”.  This cheque is payable by the drawee bank over the counter to the Bearer or presenter of the cheque.  A Bearer cheque can be negotiated or pass to another person by mere delivery. In other words, the holder (or the Transferor), when giving it to another person need not endorse the cheque.  No identification is needed when a bearer cheque is presented for encashment. However, in normal banking practice, where the amount of the cheque is substantial, the identity of the encasher is insisted on.  A bearer cheque can be collected by the bank for the credit of anyone’s account  In banking practice, the need for the encasher’s signature on the back of the cheque is merely to evidence that the encasher has received the money from the bank. 3. Blank Cheque: A cheque on which the drawer puts his signature and leaves all other columns blank is called a blank cheque. 1. A check that is signed by the payer but with no specific amount indicated, leaving this determination up to the drawee. 2. More generally, a term used for any situation in which a usually high level of trust is afforded by one party to another.
  • 29. Operation Management TERM REPORT In Banks 29 4. Post Dated Cheque: If a cheque bears a date later than the date of issue, it is termed as postdated cheque. Any check or draft that has a future date written upon it by the user. The amount of the check will not be drawn from the account until the date written on the check. For example, a check written on the 14th of the month but dated for the 28th will not be cashed for another two weeks. 5. Open Cheque:  A cheque that is not a crossed cheque. The person whose name appears on the cheque can write the name of another person on it, and the money will be paid to them.  An open cheque is a cheque that is not crossed on the left corner and payable at the drawee bank on presentation of the cheque.  The words ‘OPEN’ should not be struck off and the person issuing the cheque should sign on the reverse of the cheque also before giving it to another person; otherwise the bank may refuse payment. The latter can collect the money from any branch of the bank nowadays, depending on the bank. S/he should also sign at the back of the cheque while receiving the amount. 6. Crossed Cheque: A crossed cheque is one which has two short parallel lines marked across its face.  A cheque which carries too parallel transverse lines across the face of the cheque with or without the words “I and co”, is said to be crossed.  Crossed cheques are of two types. By simply crossing a cheque or with the words” & Co”, by the payer, the payee can either deposit it in his/her account or endorse it in favor of another person on the reverse. This practice is nowadays not accepted by the banks.  The advantage of crossing is that it reduces the danger of unauthorized persons getting possession of a cheque and cashing it. A crossed cheque can only be cashed through a bank of which the payee of the cheque is a customer.  A cheque crossed generally will be paid to any bank through which it is presented.  A cheque crossed specially will be paid only when it is presented for collection by the bank named between the parallel lines. Such crossing affords a greater measure of protection against loss.
  • 30. Operation Management TERM REPORT In Banks 30 Types of crossing: i. General crossing: A crossed cheque generally is a cheque that only bears two parallel transverse lines, optionally with the words 'and company' or '& Co.' (or any abbreviation of them) on the face of the cheque,between the lines, usually at the top left corner or at any place in the approximate half (in width) of the cheque. In the UK, the crossing is across the cheque by the person who originally wrote the cheque (the drawer), or it can legitimately be added by the person the cheque is payable to (the payee), or even by the bank that the cheque is being paid into. Generally-crossed cheques can only be paid into a bank account, so that the beneficiary can be traced A crossed cheque on its own does not affect the negotiability of the instrument. ii. Restrictive or special crossings: Where some customary instruction is written between the two parallel transverse lines (constituting crossing of cheque) that may result in imposing certain restrictions on the collecting or paying banker, it is called restrictive crossing. The example is "A/c Payee only" or "State Bank of India". In these cases, the respective restrictions mandate to pay the cheque in the account of the payee only or to pay the cheque through State Bank of India (acting as collecting banker) only. iii. Account payee: Adding a crossing to a cheque increases its security in that it cannot be cashed at a bank counter but must be paid into an account in exactly the same name as that which appears on the ‘payee’ line of the cheque (i.e. the person who has received the cheque, who is legally the “payee” and “holder” of the cheque). iv. Specific bank: A crossing may have the name of a specific banker added between the lines. A cheque with a such a crossing can only be paid into an account at that bank. The beneficiary bank can add an additional crossing to allow another bank, who are acting as their agent in collecting payment on cheques, to be paid the cheque on their behalf. v. Not negotiable: The words 'not negotiable' can be added to a crossing. The effect of such a crossing is that it removes the most important characteristic of a negotiable instrument: the transferee of such a crossed cheque cannot get a better title than that of the transferor (cannot become a holder in due course) and cannot convey a better title to his own transferee, but the instrument remains transferable. Opening of cross the cheques: Since crossing is material part of the cheque. Its cancelation amount to material alteration. Hence only the drawer of the cheque is authorized to cancel the general crossing even through the instrument was crossed after been deceived to payee.
  • 31. Operation Management TERM REPORT In Banks 31 Cancelation of crossing: The drawer of the cheque can cancel the crossing of the cheque, by cancelling the parallel lines and writing in words - Crossing Cancelled and Signing below.

IV. A bank must not pay cheque by ignoring the crossing, as he is not legally justified in making cash payment over the counter to the payee. Opening the crossed cheque: I. since crossing is material part of the cheque, its cancellation amounts to material alteration. Hence only the drawer of the cheque is authorized to cancelled the general crossing, even though the instrument was crossed after being delivered to the payee. II. Special crossing can also be cancelled by only the bank that has specially crossed the cheque. Protection to the paying banker: I.

Following conditions must be fulfilled before exercising this right: 1. Property must come in to the hands of the bankers as a banker of the customer. 2.

Banker’s right of sett-off Right of set-off Definition “Set-off means adjusting debit balance against the deposit balance in other account or account of the same borrower’’ Set-off is a statutory right of Bankers. The institute of Bankers in London expressed its views in its Journal in 1924 in following words. “The Right of set-off has however long been recognized as being subject to Limitations Which in many circumstances deprive it or much of its value to the banker”. Once sometime has occurred to stop the account, as for example, The death of the customer or the commission of an available act if bankrupts by him, the banker’s Right of set-off comes into operations without restrictions, but so long as the accounts are active. The bankers cannot set-off the debit balance of the account against other balance of the other, except after reasonable notices given to the customer, unless either, (a)There is a definite agreement giving the banker the right or (b)Such right can be inferred from the course of business between the bankers and its customer 1. From ordinary course of business, it would be a matter of great difficulty to establish such a right. 2. It would therefore, usually be un-wise to rely on any right of set-off to a accept subject to a reasonable notice, and it is very obviously that the necessity of giving notice would deprive the right of most of its value.
