34 2 - 34 Ten strategic OM decisions conceptOM decision Designing goods and services defines much of the transformation process ; it usually determine the lower limits of cost and the upper limits of quality Product design The customer’s quality expectation must be determined so that policies and procedures established to identify and achieve that quality Quality Process decision commit management to specific technology, quality, human resources use, and maintenance, that expenses determine much of the firm’s basic cost Process & Capacity design this decision may determine the firm’s ultimate success Any error decision may overwhelm any other efficiencies Location selection Material flows, capacity needs, personnel levels, technology decisions and inventory requirement influence layout layout design

35 2 - 35 Ten strategic OM decisions © 2011 Pearson Education Providing the quality of work life, determine the talented and skills people Human resources & job design Determine what is to be made and what is to be purchased (quality – delivery - innovation). Mutually trust between buyer and supplier is necessary for effective purchasing Supply chain management Suppliers, production schedules and human resource planning are considered for more inventory efficiency Inventory The demands on human resources and facilities must be determined and controlled for developing the feasible and efficient schedules Scheduling Decisions must be made regarding desired levels of reliability and stability. Systems must be established to maintain that reliability & stability Maintenance
