- 7. 7 Why OM? Core of all business organizations Many areas interrelated with OM activities Management of operations is critical to create and maintain competitive advantages
- 8. 8 Organization of Businesses Three basic functions – Operations/Production » Goods oriented (manufacturing and assembly) » Service oriented (health care, transportation and retailing) » Value-added (the essence of the operations functions) – Finance-Accounting » Budgets (plan financial requirements) » Economic analysis of investment proposals » Provision of funds (the necessary funding of the operations)
- 9. 9 Organization of Businesses (Cont.) – Marketing » Selling » Promoting » Assessing customer wants and needs » Communicating those needs to operations The need for working closely Operations Finance Marketing
- 11. 11 Systems (Holistic) Approach Emphasizes interrelations among subsystems. A systems approach is essential whenever something is being designed, redesigned, implemented, or improved. It is important to take into account the impact on all parts of the system. Example: A new feature is added to a product. Designer must take into account how customers will view the change, instruction for using new feature, the cost, training of workers, production schedule, quality standard, advertising must be informed about the new feature.
- 12. 12 Systems Approach “The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.” Suboptimization
- 13. 13 Value Added Value added: The difference between cost of inputs and price (??) of outputs. Is this definition right? Should value added include profit? Value added: The difference between the cost of inputs and the (market or fair) value or price of outputs.
- 15. 15 Degree of Standardization ! Standardized output – Take advantage of standardized methods, less skilled workers, materials… » Example: Iron, Wheat, most of commodities Customized output – Each job is different – Workers must be skilled » Example: Hair cut
- 16. 16 Manufacturing (=Goods) vs. Service operations Production of goods (goods oriented) – Tangible products » Automobile » Refrigerator Services (TV and auto repair, lawn care) » Government » Regulatory bodies, FAA, FDA » Wholesale/retail » Financial services » Education
- 17. 17 Goods vs. Service Operations (Cont) Differences 1. Customer contact 2. Uniformity of input 3. Labor content of jobs 4. Uniformity of output 5. Measurement of productivity 6. Production and delivery 7. Quality assurance 8. Amount of inventory
- 18. 18 Manufacturing vs. Service ! Characteristic Manufacturing Service Output Tangible Intangible Customer contact Low High Uniformity of output High Low Labor content Low High Uniformity of input High Low Measurement of productivity Easy Difficult Opportunity to correct quality problems Easy Difficult
- 19. 19 Steel production Automobile fabrication Home remodeling Retail sales Auto Repair Appliance repair Maid Service Manual car wash Teaching Lawn mowing High percentage goods Low percentage service Goods-service Continuum Low percentage goods High percentage service

- 21. 21 Responsibilities of Operations Management Planning – Capacity, utilization – Location – Choosing products or services – Make or buy – Layout – Projects – Scheduling – Market share – Plan for risk reduction, plan B? – Forecasting
- 22. 22 Operations Managers Controlling – Inventory – Quality – Costs Organization – Degree of standardization – Subcontracting – Process selection Staffing – Hiring/lay off – Use of overtime – Incentive plans – Job assignments
- 23. 23 Operations Management includes: – Forecasting – Capacity planning – Scheduling – Managing inventories – Assuring quality – Motivating employees – Deciding where to locate facilities – And more . . . Scope of Operations Management
- 24. 24 Help comes from Models A structure which has been built purposefully to exhibit features and characteristics of some other object. Do not use “thing” or “something” in a definition. For – Improved understanding and communication – Experimentation – Standardization for analysis Abstraction vs. computability
- 25. 25 Modeling ! Use models – Physical models (prototypes) – Schematic models (Graphs, charts, pictures) – Mathematical models, » Statistical models » Inventory models » Linear programming » Queuing techniques » Project management models
- 26. 26 What type of models Simulation models : to test a proposed idea – Monte Carlo Simulation Optimization models : to create an optimal idea – Linear programming Pattern recognition models : to recognize a pattern – Statistics, Forecasting, data mining Other classes to learn the rest.
- 27. 27 Decision Making Models Quantitative approaches Analysis of trade-offs Systems approach
- 28. 28 Models Are Beneficial Easy to use, less expensive Require users to organize – Increase understanding of the problem – Consistent tool – Standardized format – Specific objectives Systematic approach to problem solving – Analysis of tradeoffs – Enable “what if” questions Power of mathematics
- 29. 29 Pareto Phenomenon • A few factors account for a high percentage of the occurrence of some event(s). • 80/20 Rule - 80% of problems are caused by 20% of the activities. How do we identify the vital few?
- 30. 30 Historical Evolution of Operations Management Industrial revolution (1770’s) Scientific management (1911) – Mass production – Interchangeable parts – Division of labor Human relations movement (1920-60) – Unemployment insurance – Pension plans Decision models (1915, 1960-70’s) Influence of Japanese manufacturers (1970-1990)
- 31. 31 Trends in Business Major trends – The Internet, e-commerce, e-business – Management technology – Globalization – Management of supply chains – Agility
- 32. 32 Recent Trends ! Worker involvement Environmental issues, emission reductions are popular after Central European floods Service economy in US, foreign production E-business – information technology Supply chain management Total Quality Management Globalization, emerging markets, NAFTA Lean Production – see the next page
- 33. 33 Production systems classified Craft Production : System in which highly skilled workers use simple, flexible tools to produce small quantities of customized goods. – Carpenter Lean production : System that uses minimal amounts of resources to produce a high volume of high-quality goods with some variety. – Dell Mass production: System in which lower-skilled workers use specialized machinery to produce high volumes of standardized goods. – Ford
- 34. 34 Production systems classified Agile=Lean manufacturing It provides flexibility to switch quickly and economically from one product design to another with little disruption. This characteristic, in turn enables faster response to changes in customer demand. A sophisticated computerized inventory control system allows the plant to keep track of large number of parts. Keys to being an agile manufacturer are : – Reduction in inventories, – Reduction in turnaround times, – Availability of automated flexible machinery, – Rapid collection and processing of information
- 35. 35 Suppliers’ Suppliers Direct Suppliers Producer Distributor Final Consumer Simple Product Supply Chain Supply Chain: A sequence of activities and organizations involved in producing and delivering a good or service
- 36. 36 Stage of Production Value Added Value of Product Farmer produces and harvests wheat $0.15 $0.15 Wheat transported to mill $0.08 $0.23 Mill produces flour $0.15 $0.38 Flour transported to baker $0.08 $0.46 Baker produces bread $0.54 $1.00 Bread transported to grocery store $0.08 $1.08 Grocery store displays and sells bread $0.21 $1.29 Total Value-Added $1.29 A Supply Chain for Bread
- 37. 37 Other Important Trends Ethical behavior Operations strategy Working with fewer resources Cost control and productivity Quality and process improvement Increased regulation and product liability Lean production
