Operations Management

To supply the average person’s basic needs in the United States, it takes 12.2 acres of land. In the Netherlands it takes 8 acres and India it takes 1 acre. Calculated this way, the Dutch ecological footprint covers 15 times the area of the Netherlands. India’s ecological footprint is 1.35 of its area. Most dramatically, if the entire world lived like North Americans, it would take three planet earths to support the present world population

Using knowledge gained from this course discuss why the statement above is relevant to operations management.
