Operations are permanent initiatives that produce repetitive results, with resources assigned to do the same set of tasks and produce a standard output. In the life of a product, there will be many projects to improve the product, add new features etc. and these projects will come and go as required. The underlying production of the product will continue as usual, although there will be refinements done and included in the product over the period.
The operation projects are required for improvement, modification in the process, debottlenecking, improvement in efficiency, safety, environment aspects etc.
In any organization, only two aspects of work exist—on-going operations and projects. Projects are defined as unique, temporary endeavors with a specific beginning and end. Operations constitute an organization's on-going, repetitive activities, such as accounting or production.
Concerning the operational project there are main aspects which have to be considered as :
1- Setting some Resources and budgets for any repetitive process for a certain product or system
2- Improving the quality of the product during the recent production processes
3- Finding practical solutions during life cycle of the product for the necessary modification required
4- Development of the product as per the latest market requirements in the healthy work environment to be effective and required from the customers
