14 14 Order Qualifiers Minimum qualifications for consideration Order Winners Competitive advantage in marketplace Winners become qualifiers over time Order Qualifiers vs. Order Winners Cost+qualitycost Order winner: Order qualifier: costqualitydeliveryflexibility Cost+quality+delivery Time

15 15 Partial measure output/(single input) Multi-factor measure output/(multiple inputs) Total measure output/(total inputs) Productivity for Competitiveness

16 16 Productivity Example 10,000 Units Produced Sold for $10/unit 500 labor hours Labor rate: $9/hr Cost of raw material: $5,000 Cost of purchased material: $25,000 What is the labor productivity?

17 17 Labor Productivity (1) 10,000 units/500hrs = 20 units/hour... or we can arrive at a unitless figure (2) (10,000 unit*$10/unit)/(500hrs*$9/hr) = 22.22 Can you think of any advantages or disadvantages of each approach?
