...the bank are not what one would expect from a financial institution with such a reputation. Since its establishment in 1948, the bank has always offered top-notch services with fewer mistakes in Oman. Currently, there have been reports that the country is experiencing problems with their ATM machines. Customers are unable to use their ATM cards to access their accounts. The administrative sector is also having problems involving registration of clients to their newly introduced Advance Credit cards. The process has become strenuous for its customers. This study aims at identifying the problems and resolving it through operations management theories in gaining global competitiveness. According to the theories of operations management, organizations can solve their problems in three distinct ways. The six-sigma approach suggests identifying the defects and solving them afterwards. The lean approach, similarly advocates for the identification of defects though it focuses more on the wastes. After identification of such wastes, it is plausible to eliminate them. Contrary to that, the theory of constraints suggests that in every organizational structure, there is a limit. Identification of these constraints should be solved by redesigning the operational process. Furthermore, drawing examples from banks, which have suffered similar problems,...

...Operational Risk Key Term Operational Risk is the monetary risk that a corporation faces when people, processes, or system failures occur. The concept of operational risk is a constant in the workplace and has a major impact on decision making within the corporation. In my current workplace, we are considering a major change in workflow, and must measure the operational risk to the benefits of the proposed changes. Explanation of the Key Term Many factors must be considered when a change is proposed within an organization. Benefits and detriments must both be weighed in order to make the most informed decision; however, even after careful consideration, some decisions are poor. Operational risk must also include monetary damages that occur outside the realm of human decision-making, such as natural disasters or communication failures. Any action that causes a disruption to routine business operation is considered an operational risk. The more information used to calculate operational risk, the more complete and reliable picture is created for total risk evaluation (Mittnik, Paterlini, & Yener, 2014, p. 102). It is imperative to have accurate data to make quality decisions, and to create processes for predicted failures to minimize impact on the corporation. Major Article Summary Operational risk assessment should be a common, daily occurrence within an organization and should be implemented in every process in place. Corporations should implement an operational...

...The Importance of Risk Management for Managers Anthonique Brock Walden University March 21, 2015 Leck, H (2014). The Importance of Risk Management for Managers. Managerial Challenges of the Contemporary Society, 119-194 The purpose of the article was to explain the causes of accidents in the workplace and how does management deal with it. According to (Leck, 2014) “Accidents do not happen by themselves they are caused accidentally…” This statement is true but Leak wanted to dig deeper so he can understand the root cause of the accidents. It is always two sides to a story whether it is true or false but both sides deserve to be heard. Leak gave an example of a man driving a forklift and it tipped over because he ran over a stone. The question is what really caused the accident? Was it the stone or was the driver not paying close attention? This is a good example but this will be a never ending question. Leck researched 2 main theories regarding accident causes; what caused the accident and the deep-seated causes of the accident. For example, it could be that the stone caused the accident because it was too big for the driver to avoid. Maybe the driver was distracted and could not avoid the stone so he had to hit and in result the forklift tipped over. So that Leck can get to the bottom of the question, he researched and came up with basic models of accident. According to (Leck, 2014) “Basic model of accidents try to describe or explain how the critical event that caused...

...Challenges Facing the Finance Industry This paper will explore three problems facing the finance industry. Those problems include cybersecurity, compliance with regulation, and risk management. Three solutions will also be addressed later in this paper. 1 When one thinks about the finance industry, banks, credit agencies, insurance companies, and equity firms may come to mind. Over the years financial institutions have not been up to par. With the financial crisis that happened in 2008, the world is still recovering and paying high taxes for the amount of debt that it acquired. As a result of that crisis, the financial industry faces challenges that include cybersecurity, complying with regulation, and risk management. Although the industry faces these challenges, there are solutions that can make things operate smoother. One of the finance industries biggest challenge this year is cybersecurity. According to Hewitt, “The potential hacking of sensitive customer information is a top threat facing the financial industry in 2014.” Technology is vastly changing, and more people are beginning to use different softwares to handle the financial side of the business. With technology evolving, hackers are getting more experienced, and cyber-attacks are beginning to occur more frequently and more wide spread than they have been in the past. According to Rodriguez, “As the cost of technology decreases, the barriers to entry for cybercrime drop, making it easier...

...SCOREl Operational risk An operational risk scorecard approach Operational risk scorecards have been in the spotlight since the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision’s 2001 paper on op risk treatment under Basel II. In the first of two articles, Ulrich Anders and Michael Sandstedt of Dresdner Bank examine what, specifically, these systems seek to accomplish – and what implementing them entails he analysis of operational risk is a relatively new area, though it is increasingly essential. From market and credit risk it can easily be understood what risk is and how it can be assessed – market risk results from the market portfolio of the company, credit risk results from the credit portfolio of the company. But what do we want to assess in operational risk? Operational risk is the risk of a loss resulting from inadequacies or failures in processes due to technology, personnel, organisation or external factors.1 What is being assessed, therefore, is the business processes of the company that are operational therein. Compared with the market or credit portfolios of the company, the business processes of the company could also be called the operational portfolio. Once we have assessed the business processes of the company, we need to report on the results. The appropriate way to do this is via an operational risk scorecard. Many reports are called scorecards. They all use scores to reflect a particular situation. For example, the famous Balanced Scorecard2 is, in simple terms...

...A management information system (MIS) provides information that organizations require to manage themselves efficiently and effectively. Management information systems are typically computer systems used for managing five primary components: 1.) Hardware, 2.) Software, 3.) Data (information for decision making), 4.) Procedures (design, development and documentation), and 5.) People (individuals, groups, or organizations). Management information systems are distinct from other information systems, in that they are used to analyze and facilitate strategic and operational activities. Academically, the term is commonly used to refer to the study of how individuals, groups, and organizations evaluate, design, implement, manage, and utilize systems to generate information to improve efficiency and effectiveness of decision making, including systems termed decision support systems, expert systems, and executive information systems. Most business schools (or colleges of business administration within universities) have an MIS department, alongside departments of accounting, finance, management, marketing, and sometimes others, and grant degrees (at undergrad, masters, and PhD levels) in MIS. Management Information Systems (MIS) is the study of people, technology, organizations and the relationships among them. MIS professionals help firms realize maximum benefit from investment in personnel, equipment, and business processes. MIS is a people-oriented field with an emphasis on service...
