RESULTS (OMSD)
 RANKING OF OMSD

STRENGTH

The analysis of the JPIA organization reveals that their most preferred
Operating Management Strategic Decision (OMSD) is Scheduling, which plays
a crucial role in ensuring smooth operations and successful event execution.
The consistency and commitment shown by JPIA in scheduling key activities
—such as General Assemblies, Orientation, JPIA Big Day, Membership Fee
Collection, and Learning Team sessions— demonstrates their proactive
approach to time management. By planning events and activities in advance,
JPIA not only gains a clear overview of their goals for the school year but also
minimizes the risk of scheduling conflicts. This strategy allows for better
coordination within the organization and among its members,
enhancing overall
efficiency. The ability to resolve issues quickly in the event of scheduling
conflicts further strengthens the organization’s ability to adapt and maintain
momentum. Additionally, effective scheduling fosters accountability,
improves resource allocation, and ensures that all members are informed
and prepared, ultimately contributing to the organization’s success.

WEAKNESS

In contrast to their strong focus on scheduling, JPIA's least preferred

Operating Management Strategic Decision (OMSD) is Process and Capacity
Strategy. This is largely due to a lack of familiarity between the members
and the officers, which slows down communication and decision-making.
Additionally, there is poor capacity among officers assigned to specific
responsibilities, which affects the overall process of the activity. Poor
attendance, often due to academic pressures, further limits the capacity of
officers, causing delays and challenges in meeting planned goals.

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Improving awareness of officers by putting the organizational chart in

bulletin boards and introducing them during General Assembly.

2. Create clear role definitions and proper officer allocation to ensure

capacity matches event / activity needs.

CONCLUSION

The JPIA Organization has effectively prioritized Scheduling as its most

preferred Operations Management Strategy Decision, emphasizing practices
that maximize event attendance by aligning schedules with the academic
calendar, ensuring officer collaboration through meetings, and
communicating finalized schedules via their official Facebook page. However,
the Process and Capacity Strategy is the least preferred due to limited
opportunities for members to familiarize themselves with the officers,
hindering communication. To address this, recommendations include
improving officer awareness through bulletin board organizational charts and
General Assembly introductions as well as defining roles clearly with proper
officer allocation. These actions aim to strengthen organizational processes
and foster a more effective and inclusive environment.
