The Value Transfer Model Each participant in the supply chain must add some value or risk “disintermediation” New technologies (e.g., internet) increase the risk of disintermediation by reducing the cost of obtaining information on alternatives Replace with new ex 3.5

Operations Management Framework A strategy is a pattern of decisions an organization adopts in order to link resource decisions to goals (Wheelwright 1984) -Its not what you say, its what you do… Successful strategy -The firm has made decisions that enable it to continue providing that value at an acceptable cost (i.e., profitably) -Customers perceive value that is greater than that offered by competitors Strategy A plan for being competitive Insert new “Foundations of Success”

The Strategic Hierarchy Corporate Strategy -Broad and general in large diversified companies -Sets expectations for business performance Business Strategy -The general basis on which the business will compete Cost Leader Differentiation Focus - Price lower than competitors - Create unique products and services -Big chunk of a small market, become very good at a small thing Think about Business Strategy in terms of value attributes

One way to think about business-level strategy – Order Losers, Qualifiers, and Winners Order Loser: a product or service characteristic that repels customers. Order Qualifier: a product or service characteristic that is necessary, but not sufficient to win the order. Order Winner: a product or service characteristic most important to a particular customer. Rotten food (quality) Able to make cheeseburger plain (flexibility) Cool toy (style/fashion) Beware Order Winners Becoming Order Qualifiers!! Example: Taking kids to lunch on a Saturday afternoon.

3 - 29 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Operations Now, 2/e © 2006 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., All Rights Reserved. Reflecting On Our Strategy Discussion - Order Qualifiers and Order Winners Mary looks at “Speedy” delivery as an order winner -Organizes processes to create capabilities that support that strategic objective Other minimum expectations must also be met before customers consider alternatives. -Taste & Temperature -Must develop process supported capabilities in these areas as well Even though we are talking about a product (pizza), the order winner is a service (speedy delivery). Role of order qualifiers and order winners change as markets mature. -What happens when everybody gets fast?

3 - 38 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Operations Now, 2/e © 2006 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., All Rights Reserved. Choices for Manufacturers: The Product/Process Matrix Process Types Project – Unique, one-of-a-kind, products or customers. Generally large in size (building a bridge, installing a software system, implementing a major improvement effort) Job Shop – Predominantly manufacturing, high customization and flexibility, but higher volume than project. Batch Production – Groups of identical products or customers processed together through one step and then moved together to the next step. More limited product variety, higher production volume.
39
3 - 39 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Operations Now, 2/e © 2006 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., All Rights Reserved. Choices for Manufacturers: The Product/Process Matrix Process Types Assembly Line – Narrowly defined processes, made up of equipment with limited flexibility. Much higher volume. Still the possibility of some flexibility. Continuous (Repetitive) Processing – Equipment and workstations dedicated to a single thing. Very high volume. Very low flexibility. Best chance for automation.

3 - 40 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Operations Now, 2/e © 2006 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., All Rights Reserved. Other Process Choices Make-to-stock (MTS) -Process activated to meet expected or forecast demand -Customer orders are served from target stocking level -Shorter lead time for stocked items MUCH longer for out of stock items Risk of obsolescence, shrink, etc. Make-to-order (MTO) -Process activated in response to an actual order May be either standard or custom product -WIP and finished goods inventory kept to a minimum -Tends to have longer response time
41
3 - 41 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Operations Now, 2/e © 2006 The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., All Rights Reserved. Other Process Choices Assemble-to-order (ATO) -Partially manufactured and held in unfinished state -Customer order dictates final configuration -Quicker response than MTO; More flexible than MTS
