1. Topic 1. INTRODUCTION TO PRODUCTION AND OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT

3. 1. What is Production/Operations Management? Production: referring to the activities of manufacturing goods. Operations: referring to the activities of not manufacturing physical goods. It is usually relevant to service organization. Production/Operations: the creation of goods and services.

4. Elements of the production/operations system: Inputs Transformation process Outputs Feedback

5. Definition of POM Systematic planning, organizing, directing, staffing, leading, controlling of the transformation process.

6. Differences between production and service Tangible products Make to stock For sale Physical transform Large geographical market Low customer contact Capital intensive Easier quality measurement

7. 2. History of POM Industrial revolution (1770’s – 90’s) - steam engine, mass production, division of labor, interchangeable parts (Eli Whitney) Scientific management (1910’s) – time and motion studies (Frank Gilbreth, Frederick W. Taylor), Gantt chart, moving assemble line (Henry Ford) Human relations movement (1930’s – 60’s) – work environment (Lillian Gilbreth), employer- employee relationship, motivation theories (Theory X, Theory Y, Theory Z)

10. History of POM (continuous) Management Science (1947 – 60’s) – linear program, simulation, waiting line theory, decision theory, PERT/CPM, MRP Japanese production system (1970’s 80’s) – Lean production, JIT, TQM Computer in POM (1970’s - ) – CAD/CAM, FMS, CIM New challenges in POM – the service economy, environment awareness

12. 3. Recent Trend Global Marketplace Total Quality Management, worker involvement Corporate Downsizing, Business Reengineering, Lean Production Flexibility, Time Reduction

13. Tend of POM (continuous) Technology Environmental Issues Supply-Chain Management E-commerce and internet

14. 4. Productivity An index that measures output (goods and services) related to the input (labor, material, energy, and other resources). Meaning of Productivity - competitiveness (business leader), standard of living (nation’s leader)

15. Productivity Calculation Productivity = Output/Input – Partial Measurement (one input) Labor Productivity = Output/Labor hours used Machine Productivity = Output/Machine hours used – Multi-factor Measurement (two or more inputs) Labor and Machine Productivity = Output/ (labor cost + Machine cost ) – Total Measurement (all inputs) Total productivity = Output/ (all input costs)

16. 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 machinesSaved 12 seconds per shot

17. 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 machinesSaved 12 seconds per shot Operations improvements have helped Starbucks increase yearly revenue per outlet by $250,000 to $1,000,000 in seven years. Productivity has improved by 27%, or about 4.5% per year.

18. Productivity Single-factor Output Output Output Output productivity Labor Material Capital Energy Multifactor Output Output productivity Labor + Material Labor + Capital + Energy (total factor Productivity)

19. Productivity Example 1.1: 4 workers installed 720 square yards of carpeting in 8 hours, What is the labor productivity in square yards per hour? Productivity =Yards of carpet installed Labor-hours worked Productivity =720 square yards 4 workers * 8 hours/worker =720 square yards 32 hours =22.50 yards/hour

20. Productivity Example 1.2: A machine produced 68 usable pieces in two hours, What is the single-factor productivity of machine in pieces per hour? =34 pieces/hour Productivity =Usable pieces production time Productivity =68 pieces 2 hours

21. Productivity Example 1.3: 7040 units produced, sold for $1.10/unit Cost of labor: $1,000 Cost of materials: $520 Overhead: $2000 What is the multifactor productivity in dollars per dollar? MFP =2.20 dollar/dollar MFP =Price of all units Labor + Materials + Overhead MFP =(7040 units)*($1.10/unit) $1000 + $520 + $2000

22. Productivity Productivity increase rate is more appropriate than productivity itself as an index of an organization’s operation efficiency over time. Productivity Increase Rate = New Productivity – Old Productivity Old Productivity

23. Productivity Example 1.4: Collins Title Insurance Ltd. wants to evaluate its labor and multifactor productivity with a new system. The company has a staff of four, each working 8 hours per day (for a payroll cost of $640/day) and overhead expenses of $400 per day. Collins processes and closes on 8 titles per day. The new system will allow the processing of 14 titles per day. Although the staff, their work hours, and pay are the same, the overhead expenses are now $800 per day.

24. 8 titles/day Overhead = $400/day Old System: 14 titles/day Overhead = $800/day New System: 8 titles/day 32 labor-hrs = Old labor productivity = New labor productivity =.25 titles/labor-hr 14 titles/day 32 labor-hrs Staff of 4 works 8 hrs/dayPayroll cost = $640/day =.4375 titles/labor-hr = Productivity Increase Rate 0.4375 – 0.25 0.25 =.75 75% increase in labor Productivity

25. 8 titles/day Overhead = $400/day Old System: 14 titles/day Overhead = $800/day New System: Staff of 4 works 8 hrs/dayPayroll cost = $640/day = Productivity Increase Rate 0.0097 – 0.0077 0.0077 =.26 26% increase in multi-factor Productivity 8 titles/day $640 + 400 14 titles/day $640 + 800 = Old multifactor productivity = New multifactor productivity =.0077 titles/dollar =.0097 titles/dollar

26. EX in Class A company has introduced a process improvement that reduces processing time for each unit, so that output is increased by 25% with less material, but one additional worker required. Under the old process, five workers could produce 60 units per hour. Labor rate is $12/hour, and material input was previously $16/unit. For the new process, material is now $10/unit. Overhead is charged at 1.6 times direct labor cost. Finished units sell for $31 each. What is the productivity growth rate associated with the process improvement?

27. 5. Factors that Affect Productivity Methods capital quality technology management

28. 6. Improving Productivity Develop productivity measures for all operations Decide critical operations in system Develop methods for achieving productivity improvements Establish reasonable goals for improvement Management supports and encourages productivity improvement Measure improvements and publicize them

29. 7. Competitiveness How effectively an organization meets the needs of customers relative to that offer similar goods or services

30. 8. Operation Strategies Price -- low cost Quality -- high performance design and/or high quality, consistent quality Product differentiation – specific features Time – rapid delivery, on time delivery Flexibility – variety, volume Service – superior customer service Location – convenience
