14. 02 - 14 Value Added is the difference between the cost of inputs and the value or price of outputs. The transformation process must add value for an organization to be profitable/viable. Value Added Inputs Workers Managers Equipment Facilities Materials Services Land Energy Transformations Outputs Goods Services Control Feedback Value added

21. 02 - 21 The chief role of the operations manager is to be a planner and a decision maker with respect to the previously mentioned areas. Some of the decision making tools at an operations managers disposal will be discussed as part of this course. Listed in the following few slides is an overview of some of the methodologies we will discuss. Role of the Operations Manager What - What resources/what amounts When - Needed/scheduled/ordered Where - Work to be done How - Designed Who - To do the work

22. 02 - 22 Quantitative tools - mathematical models Linear Programming Inventory Models PERT/CPM (Project Evaluation and Review Techniques) StatisticsSimulation Computer Analysis Computer Analysis (Microsoft EXCEL is a very useful tool for creating models to do “what-if” analysis) Models - abstractions of reality Physical Schematics Mathematical Decision Making Tools

23. 02 - 23 Trade-off analysis Evaluating decisions based on other issues such as financial considerations, company policy, etc. (e.g. in considering how much inventory to stock one must consider the financial implications!) Pro-Con analysis Evaluating decisions based on an objective/subjective evaluation of the positive and negative points of the situation under consideration Pro’sCon’s Decision Making Tools

24. 02 - 24 Establish Priorities Prioritize factors which are important to a situation and determine the most important few which most influence the decision Sometimes referred to as the 80/20 rule which basically means that out of all the factors which influence a decision 20% of them will most influence the decision outcome … more commonly known as the Pareto rule. Do not get caught working on problems which are not important … it may show that are not aware of what is most important in your business. Decision Making Tools

25. 02 - 25 Result standardization, conveyors, computers, robotics, automation can produce a car in less than an hour Henry Ford 13 hours to make a car - Can we do it better? Solution Pull chassis down a line with a rope and add parts from strategically placed piles of parts Result 5 hours to make a car Can we do it better (continual improvement)? An Example of Operations Improvement

26. 02 - 26 Recent Trends Influencing OM Global Marketplace for markets, sourcing, finance International Trade Agreements (NAFTA, GATT) Corporate Strategic Planning (integrating OM strategies) Total Quality Management (TQM) programs Flexibility in manufacturing methods and lead time reduction (quick delivery allows cost cutting and cost containment for increased leverage against lower cost global competition Technology (computers, robotics, automation) Re-engineering - rethink how products are designed and manufactured Environmental Issues Corporate downsizing (how to get more done with less because of stock holder pressures and global labor wage pressures Lean production - fewer levels of management

27. 02 - 27 Global Hourly Wage Rates (US$)

28. 02 - 28 Operations Manager Success POM success depends on the familiarity with the techniques discussed in this course. Most modern companies subscribe to the philosophy that knowledge of decision science techniques are critical to their overall business success. Whether your career is in production operations management or not, familiarity and knowledge of these techniques will be beneficial to your career because of the interrelationship between POM and other functional areas of an organization..
