The product production and services depends on control function management, operations
management, and configuration management. Control function management mainly deals with
controlling variety of ongoing management activities to co-ordinate operations in the Web site.
Operations management in Web site deals with wide variety of operations. Configuration management
deals with tracking the new versions of products and services which includes updating, deleting, and
configuring the product and its information in the Web site.
The product management in a Web site must contain the details of the products and the manufacturer
for the customer’s awareness regarding the manufacturers of the product. In order to maintain the
details of the manufacturer, a separate category must be created. A panel is developed in the Web site
that contains the manufacturer information in a particular category form.
In the figure 13.5, the manufacturer category form contains information which includes category name
and category description. The manufacturer must enter the category of the product which is to be
advertised on the Web site with description. In this example, ‘Publishers’ is given as the Category
Name. The Category Description contains the description of the publisher which is specified as a
Manufacturer of books, CDs, and information products. The information provided to the customers
must be stringent and clear so that there is no ambiguity among the customers. Hence, it is very
important to add the manufacturer information so that the products being advertised in the Web site
seem original. Once the manufacturer category form is filled, the next step is to add the manufacturer
information.
