Learning Objectives When you complete this chapter, you should be able to: Describe or Explain : A brief history of operations management Career opportunities in operations management The future of the discipline Measuring productivity

The Hard Rock Cafe First opened in 1971 Rock music memorabilia Now – 110 restaurants in over 40 countries Rock music memorabilia Creates value in the form of good food and entertainment 3,500+ custom meals per day in Orlando How does an item get on the menu? Role of the Operations Manager

What Is Operations Management? Production is the creation of goods and services Operations management (OM) is the set of activities that creates value in the form of goods and services by transforming inputs into outputs

Organizing to Produce Goods and Services Essential functions: Marketing – generates demand Production/operations – creates the product Finance/accounting – tracks how well the organization is doing, pays bills, collects the money

The Critical Decisions Service and product design What good or service should we offer? How should we design these products and services? Quality management How do we define quality? Who is responsible for quality? Table 1.2 (cont.)

The Critical Decisions Process and capacity design What process and what capacity will these products require? What equipment and technology is necessary for these processes? Location Where should we put the facility? On what criteria should we base the location decision? Table 1.2 (cont.)

The Critical Decisions Layout design How should we arrange the facility and material flow? How large must the facility be to meet our plan? Human resources and job design How do we provide a reasonable work environment? How much can we expect our employees to produce? 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. Table 1.2 (cont.)

The Critical Decisions Supply-chain management Should we make or buy this component? Who are our suppliers and who can integrate into our e-commerce program? Inventory, material requirements planning, and JIT How much inventory of each item should we have? When do we re-order? Table 1.2 (cont.)

The Critical Decisions Intermediate and short–term scheduling Are we better off keeping people on the payroll during slowdowns? Which jobs do we perform next? Maintenance Who is responsible for maintenance? When do we do maintenance? Table 1.2 (cont.)

Significant Events in OM Figure 1.3

The Heritage of OM Division of labor (Adam Smith 1776; Charles Babbage 1852) Standardized parts (Whitney 1800) Scientific Management (Taylor 1881) Coordinated assembly line (Ford/ Sorenson/Avery 1913) Gantt charts (Gantt 1916) Motion study (Frank and Lillian Gilbreth 1922) Quality control (Shewhart 1924; Deming 1950)

The Heritage of OM Computer (Atanasoff 1938) CPM/PERT (DuPont 1957) Material requirements planning (Orlicky 1960) Computer aided design (CAD 1970) Flexible manufacturing system (FMS 1975) Baldrige Quality Awards (1980) Computer integrated manufacturing (1990) Globalization (1992) Internet (1995)

Eli Whitney Born 1765; died 1825 In 1798, received government contract to make 10,000 muskets Showed that machine tools could make standardized parts to exact specifications Musket parts could be used in any musket

Frederick W. Taylor Born 1856; died 1915 Known as ‘father of scientific management’ In 1881, as chief engineer for Midvale Steel, studied how tasks were done Began first motion and time studies Created efficiency principles

Taylor’s Principles Management Should Take More Responsibility for: Matching employees to right job Providing the proper training Providing proper work methods and tools Establishing legitimate incentives for work to be accomplished

Frank & Lillian Gilbreth Husband-and-wife engineering team Further developed work measurement methods Applied efficiency methods to their home and 12 children! Book & Movie: “Cheaper by the Dozen,” book: “Bells on Their Toes”

Henry Ford Born 1863; died 1947 In 1903, created Ford Motor Company In 1913, first used moving assembly line to make Model T Unfinished product moved by conveyor past work station Paid workers very well for 1911 ($5/day!)

W. Edwards Deming Born 1900; died 1993 Engineer and physicist Credited with teaching Japan quality control methods in post-WW2 Used statistics to analyze process His methods involve workers in decisions

Contributions From Human factors Industrial engineering Management science Biological science Physical sciences Information science

New Trends in OM Past Causes Future Local or national focus Low-cost, reliable worldwide communication and transportation networks Global focus Batch (large) shipments Short product life cycles and cost of capital put pressure on reducing inventory Just-in-time shipments Low-bid purchasing Quality emphasis requires that suppliers be engaged in product improvement Supply-chain partners, Enterprise Resource Planning, e-commerce Figure 1.6

New Trends in OM Past Causes Future Lengthy product development Shorter life cycles, Internet, rapid international communication, computer-aided design, and international collaboration Rapid product development, alliances, collaborative designs Standardized products Affluence and worldwide markets; increasingly flexible production processes Mass customization with added emphasis on quality Job specialization Changing socioculture milieu; increasingly a knowledge and information society Empowered employees, teams, and lean production Figure 1.6

New Trends in OM Past Causes Future Low-cost focus Environmental issues, ISO 14000, increasing disposal costs Environmentally sensitive production, green manufacturing, recycled materials, remanufacturing Figure 1.6

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 this measure of efficiency Important Note! Production is a measure of output only and not a measure of efficiency

Labor, capital, management The Economic System Inputs Labor, capital, management 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%). Outputs Goods and services Feedback loop Figure 1.7

Increasing Productivity – The LA Motor Pool Before: Cost $120 million annually 21,000 vehicles 30% of the 900 trash trucks were in repair 11% of police cars were in repair Actions: Created team assignments Assigned parking places for trucks Tires checked and trucks emptied each night Standard customer pickups established Computerized fleet management Mechanics moved to night shift

Increasing Productivity – The LA Motor Pool Before: Actions: Results: Total fleet reduced by 500 vehicles Parts inventory dropped 20% reducing cost by $5.4 million annually Standardized pickups reduced costs by $12 million annually Out of service garbage trucks dropped to 18% Cost $120 million annually 21,000 vehicles 30% of the 900 garbage trucks were in repair 11% of police cars were in repair Creating team assignments Assigned parking places for trucks Tire checked and trucks emptied each night Standard customer pickups established Computerized fleet management Mechanics moved to night shift

Productivity Units produced Input used Productivity = Measure of process improvement Represents output relative to input Only through productivity increases can our standard of living improve

Productivity Calculations Labor Productivity Productivity = Units produced Labor-hours used = = 4 units/labor-hour 1,000 250

Multi-Factor Productivity Output Labor + Material + Energy + Capital + Miscellaneous Productivity = Also known as total factor productivity Output and inputs are often expressed in dollars

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

Productivity Variables Labor - contributes about 10% of the annual increase Capital - contributes about 32% of the annual increase Management - contributes about 52% of the annual increase

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

Labor Skills About half of the 17-year-olds in the US cannot correctly answer questions of this type Figure 1.8

Investment and Productivity in Selected Nations 10 8 6 4 2 Percent increase in mfg productivity Percentage investment 10 15 20 25 30 35 US UK Canada Italy Belgium France Netherlands Japan

Service Productivity Typically labor intensive Frequently focused on unique individual attributes or desires Often an intellectual task performed by professionals Often difficult to mechanize Often difficult to evaluate for quality

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

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

Ethics and Social Responsibility Challenges facing operations managers: Developing safe quality products Maintaining a clean environment Providing a safe workplace Honoring community commitments
