To do if time:  Look through old project  For announcements – look thru good example of italicize and defined OM term  Look for good example of inputs, outputs, flow entities  Show specific example about jumbled flow  Be able to give better examples about job- shop;  Give better examples of Mass Customization

Overview  Manufacturing process strategies  Service process strategies  Process Analysis And Design  Flow charts  Service system mapping  Time-Function Mapping  Value Stream Mapping  Process Charts  Service Blueprinting

Announcements  We will not cover all of chapter 7.  We will concentrate on pp th edition pp th edition

Manufacturing Process Strategies Process Focus job shops (machine, print, carpentry) Standard Register Repetitive (autos, motorcycles) Harley Davidson Product Focus (commercial baked goods, steel, glass) Nucor Steel High Variety Low Variety Mass Customization Dell Poor Strategy (Both fixed and variable costs are high) Low Volume High VolumeVolume

Comparison of process strategies ProjectJob-shopBatchAsemblyContinuous Flow Flexibility Variety Capital investment Variable cost Labor content Labor skill Volume

Process Strategies Continuum  A continuum  Within a given facility, several or blend of strategies may be used  These strategies are often classified as: Repetitive- Focused Product-Focused Process-Focused Job Shop BatchAssemblyContinuous

Product-Focused Examples © 1995 Corel Corp. Light Bulbs (Discrete) Paper (Continuous) © T/Maker Co. © 1995 Corel Corp. Soft Drinks (Continuous, then Discrete)

Nucor Steel Plant – continuous process Nucor Steel Plant Continuous caster Continuous cast steel sheared into 24-ton slabs Hot tunnel furnace ft Hot mill for finishing, cooling, and coiling DE F G H I Scrap steel Ladle of molten steel Electric furnace A B C

Product-Focused Strategy  Continuous production  Facilities are organized by product  High volume, low variety products  Where found  Discrete unit manufacturing  Continuous process manufacturing Operation Products A & B

Product-Focused Strategy - Characteristics  Positive  Lower variable cost per unit  Lower but more specialized labor skills  Easier production planning and control  Higher equipment utilization (70% to 90%)  Negative  Lower product flexibility  More specialized equipment  Usually higher capital investment

Repetitive-Focused Strategy - Examples Truck © 1995 Corel Corp. Clothes Dryer © 1995 Corel Corp.

Repetitive Focused Strategy  Assembly line / Production line  Facilities often organized by assembly lines  Characterized by modules  Parts & assemblies made previously  Modules combined for many output options

Repetitive Focused Strategy - Characteristics  More structured than process-focused, less structured than product focused  Enables quasi-customization  Using modules, it enjoys economic advantage of continuous process, and custom advantage of low-volume, high- variety model

Process-Focused Strategy Examples Machine Shop © 1995 Corel Corp.

Process-Focused Strategy  Job shop  Facilities are organized by process  Similar processes are together  Example: All drill presses are together  Low volume, high variety products  ‘Jumbled’ flow Operation Product A Product B

Process Focused Strategy -Characteristics  Positives  Greater product flexibility  More general purpose equipment  Lower initial capital investment  Negatives  More highly trained personnel  More difficult production planning & control  Low equipment utilization (5% to 25%)

Manufacturing Process Design Low ModerateHigh Volume High Moderate Low Variety of Products Process-focused Job Shops (Print shop, emergency room, machine shop, fine dining Repetitive (modular) focus Assembly line (Cars, appliances, TVs, fast-food restaurants) Product-focused Continuous (steel, beer, paper, bread) Mass Customization Customization at high Volume (Dell Computer’s PC)

Mass Customization  Using technology and imagination to rapidly mass-produce products that cater to sundry unique customer desires.  Goal:  Variety of a job shop  Volume and variable cost of continuous production

Top 10 Mass Customization Companies in 2007  # Mymuesli: Mass Customized MüsliMymuesli:  # Blends For Friends: Mass Customized TeasBlends For Friends  # Vuru – Custom nutrition  # My Twinn - custom dolls  # Miss-Information: Custom travel books  # flattenme: Personalized children books  # TasteBook: Mass Customized recipesTasteBook:  # Paragon Lake: mass customized jewelryParagon Lake  # Cosmocards - Personal Greeting Cards  # Zyrra – mass customized bras

Mass Customization - More Choices Than even

How do we determine which process strategy is best? Process Crossover Point is one dimension that is considered. Considers Volume/Cost trade-off

Process Crossover Point At Voodoo Holds The new machine would automate this process, reducing the labor involved. The machine would cost $15,000. However, labor cost would decrease from $20 per mold to $5 per mold.

What is a Business Process? Traditional Process definition in OM literature A process specifies the transformation of inputs to outputs Different types of transformations Physical (Ex. raw material  finished product) Locational (Ex. flying from Denver to L.A.) Transactional (Ex. depositing money in a bank) Informational (Ex. accounting data  financial statement) The transformation model of a process Inputs Outputs Process

What is a Business Process? A more comprehensive process definition A business process is a network of connected activities and buffers with well defined boundaries and precedence relationships, which utilize resources to transform inputs into outputs with the purpose of satisfying customer requirements Process Customers Suppliers Resources Inputs Outputs

Marketing OperationsAccounting CEO Order Request Order Fulfilled Production planning Vertical process Horizontal process Individual process Buying a TV commercial Illustration: Process Types and Hierarchies

Questions to answer What is the existing process doing? How well does it perform? What are the critical issues that impact the process performance? Important to understand the process but do not overanalyze it in order to avoid “analysis paralysis” –Becoming so familiar with the process it is impossible to think of new ways of doing it Understanding the Existing Process

1.Describe the process architecture Inputs/outputs Flow units Resources Network activities and buffers Information system 2.Identify the process owner/stakeholders 3.Understand the customer Understanding the Existing Process

Describe the process architecture Inputs and Outputs Identify the process boundaries  easy to identify the Input consumed from the environment in order to produce the desired Output Process inputs and outputs can be –Tangible (Ex. raw material, cash, products, customers) –Intangible (Ex. Information, time, energy, services)

Describe the process architecture Flow units A flow unit is a transient entity or a job that proceeds through the network of activities and buffers and exits the process as a finished output Typically, the identity of a flow unit changes across the process Examples of common flow units: materials, orders, files, documents, customers, products, cash, transactions…

Transformational activities The work performed on a job moving through a process can be divided into an ordered sequence of activities The buffers represent storage or waiting points where the job waits before moving to the next activity (queues, waiting rooms, etc.) Different types of jobs  different paths through the network Describe the process architecture

Resources Tangible assets utilized to perform activities in a process Can be divided into: Capital assets – real estate, machinery, equipment, IT systems… Labor – people and their knowledge and skills Resources are utilized while inputs are consumed N o t e d i f f e r e n c e ! ! Describe the process architecture

Information structure Specifies the information required for making decisions and performing activities in a process Limited information availability is a common cause for process inefficiencies –Information enables coordination! Airport Buzz Group Describe the process architecture

The 5w2h framework – use to describe a process Classification5w2h questions Description PeopleWho?Who is performing the activity? Why is this person doing it? Could/Should someone else perform the activity? Subject matter What?What is being done in this activity? Can the activity in question be eliminated? SequenceWhen?When is the best time to perform this activity? Does it have to be done at a certain time? LocationWhere?Where is this activity carried out? Does it have to be done at this location? PurposeWhy?Why is this activity needed? Clarify its purpose. MethodHow?How is the activity carried out? CostHow much?How much does it currently cost?

Process Analysis Tools  Flowcharts provide a view of the big picture  Time-function mapping adds rigor and a time element  Value stream analysis extends to customers and suppliers  Process charts show detail  Service blueprint focuses on customer interaction

 One of the fundamental graphical tools for process analysis and design  Typically depicts activities sequentially from left to right  Can help to identify, loops, multiple alternative paths, decision points etc.  Symbols to use in flow charting Flow Charts Transportation of a physical item Transportation of information Operation Inspection Storage Delay

Illustration of a Sample Flow Chart Operator takes phone order. Orders wait to be picked up. Supervisor inspects orders. Order is fulfilled. Order waits for sales rep. Is order complete? Yes No Orders are moved to supervisor’s in-box. Orders wait for supervisor.

Existing claims process for auto glass 1.Client notifies a local agent that she wishes to file a claim. She is given a claims form and is told to obtain a cost estimate from a local glass vendor. 2.When the claims form is completed the local agent verifies the information and forwards the claim to a regional processing center. 3.The processing center logs the date and time of the claim’s arrival. The data is entered into a computer-based system (for record keeping only) by a clerk. The claim is then placed in a hard copy file and passed on to a claims representative. 4.a) If the claims representative is satisfied with the claim it is passed along to several others in the processing chain and eventually a check is issued and sent to the client. b) If there are problems with the claim the representative mails it back to the client for necessary corrections. 5.When the client receives the check she can go to the local glass vendor and replace the glass.

 An extension of traditional flowcharting  Documents the role played by the customer in the service delivery process  A combination of service blue printing and traditional flowcharting  Build consistent perceptions of customer’s experience with core processes  Identify all points of contact between the process and its customers  Identify opportunities within the process Service System Mapping (I)

 SSM Horizontal Bands  The purpose is to organize activities according to the people or “players in the process. – Who does what ?  An SSM typically consists of 5 bands 1. Customer band – end user 2. Frontline or distribution channel band 3. Back-room activity band 4. Centralized support or information systems band 5. Vendor or supplier band Service System Mapping
