- 50. Productivity Challenge Productivity is the ratio of outputs (goods and services) divided by the inputs (resources such as labor and capital) The objective is to improve productivity! Important Note! Production is a measure of output only and not a measure of efficiency
- 51. The Economic System Figure 1.7 Feedback loop Outputs Goods and services Processes The U.S. economic system transforms inputs to outputs at about an annual 2.5% increase in productivity per year. The productivity increase is the result of a mix of capital (38% of 2.5%), labor (10% of 2.5%), and management (52% of 2.5%). Inputs Labor, capital, management
- 52. Improving Productivity at Starbucks A team of 10 analysts continually look for ways to shave time. Some improvements: Stop requiring signatures on credit card purchases under $25 Saved 8 seconds per transaction Change the size of the ice scoop Saved 14 seconds per drink New espresso machines Saved 12 seconds per shot
- 53. Improving Productivity at Starbucks A team of 10 analysts continually look for ways to shave time. Some improvements: Stop requiring signatures on credit card purchases under $25 Saved 8 seconds per transaction Change the size of the ice scoop Saved 14 seconds per drink New espresso machines Saved 12 seconds per shot Operations improvements have helped Starbucks increase yearly revenue per outlet by $200,000 to $940,000 in six years. Productivity has improved by 27%, or about 4.5% per year.
- 54. Productivity Measure of process improvement Represents output relative to input Only through productivity increases can our standard of living improve Productivity = Units produced Input used
- 55. Productivity Calculations Labor Productivity One resource input single-factor productivity Productivity = Units produced Labor-hours used = = 4 units/labor-hour 1,000 250
- 56. Multi-Factor Productivity Also known as total factor productivity Output and inputs are often expressed in dollars Multiple resource inputs multi-factor productivity Output Labor + Material + Energy + Capital + Miscellaneous Productivity =
- 57. Measurement Problems Quality may change while the quantity of inputs and outputs remains constant External elements may cause an increase or decrease in productivity Precise units of measure may be lacking
- 58. Productivity Variables Labor - contributes about 10% of the annual increase Capital - contributes about 38% of the annual increase Management - contributes about 52% of the annual increase
- 59. Key Variables for Improved Labor Productivity Basic education appropriate for the labor force Diet of the labor force Social overhead that makes labor available Maintaining and enhancing skills in the midst of rapidly changing technology and knowledge

Productivity at Taco Bell Improvements: Revised the menu Designed meals for easy preparation Shifted some preparation to suppliers Efficient layout and automation Training and employee empowerment Results: Preparation time cut to 8 seconds Management span of control increased from 5 to 30 In-store labor cut by 15 hours/day Stores handle twice the volume with half the labor Fast-food low-cost leader
- 65. Ethics and Social Responsibility Challenges facing operations managers: Developing and producing safe, quality products Maintaining a clean environment Providing a safe workplace Honoring community commitments
Editor's Notes
- #20: Using this and subsequent slides, you might go through in more detail the decisions of Operations Management. While greater detail is provided by these slides than the earlier one, you may still decide to have the students contribute examples from their own experience.
