4
Operations -- Prof. Juran What is Operations Management? The design, control, and improvement of the systems that create and deliver the firm’s primary products and services
5
Operations -- Prof. Juran What is a Production System? A user of resources to transform inputs into some desired outputs
6
Operations -- Prof. Juran Important Measures of Performance Efficiency: Using a minimum of resources Effectiveness: Creating value for some customer
7
Operations -- Prof. Juran Transformations
8
Operations -- Prof. Juran Manufacturing vs. Services What differentiates manufacturing operations from service operations? J&C proposition: All businesses are services
9
Operations -- Prof. Juran Operations Strategy J&C: Setting broad policies and plans for using the resources of the firm to best support its long-term competitive strategy Juran: Deciding how the firm’s competitive strategy will actually happen, in terms of processes that are more efficient and/or more effective than the competition’s processes.
10
Operations -- Prof. Juran Operations Strategy Key questions: What business are we in? Who are the customers? What do the customers need? How can we meet those needs more efficiently/effectively than the competition? How is all of this going to change over time?

17
Operations -- Prof. Juran Industrial Revolution Eli Whitney 1765 - 1825
18
Operations -- Prof. Juran Scientific Management Frederick W. Taylor 1856 - 1915
19
Operations -- Prof. Juran Industrial Revolution Henry Ford 1863 - 1947
20
Operations -- Prof. Juran Scientific Management Frederick Winslow Taylor, (1856-1915), American industrial engineer. In 1878, he began working at the Midvale Steel Company. Developed measures of productivity based on time & motion studies. Became rich from 100+ patents including tempered steel.
21
Operations -- Prof. Juran Taylor’s Industrial Environment Large numbers of unskilled workers Many immigrants who often didn’t speak English Homogeneous markets meant great returns to scale (e.g, Model T dropped in price from $1000 to $360) Management not viewed as a general or learnable skill
22
Operations -- Prof. Juran Scientific Management Defined by Frederick Taylor, late 1800s. The systematic study of the relationships between people and tasks to redesign the work for higher efficiency. – Taylor sought to reduce the time a worker spent on each task by optimizing the way the task was done. Significant improvements in productivity
23
Operations -- Prof. Juran Taylor’s 4 Principles Develop a science for each element of work Select, train, and develop workers Cooperate with workers (share the savings – more $$$ for better performance) Divide work and responsibility equally
24
Operations -- Prof. Juran Resistance to Taylor Separation of work from planning destroyed the traditional craft system – ‘money substituted for pride’ Unions mistrusted – Taylor reduced work force from 450 to 150 on first job Some firms cut rates after changes Legislation to prevent time studies in government jobs.
25
Operations -- Prof. Juran Frank & Lillian Gilbreth Time and Motion Studies Film Therbligs Cheaper by the Dozen Henry L. Gantt Engineer; worked with Taylor Gantt Chart
26
Operations -- Prof. Juran The Gilbreths Frank and Lillian Gilbreth refined Taylor’s methods. – Made many improvements to time and motion studies. Time and motion studies: – 1. Break down each action into components. – 2. Find better ways to perform it. – 3. Reorganize each action to be more efficient. Gilbreths also studied fatigue problems, lighting, heating and other worker issues.

Operations -- Prof. Juran Current Issues in OM Coordinating relationships between mutually supportive but separate organizations Optimizing global supplier, production, and distribution networks Managing customer touch points Raising awareness of competitive advantage –Amazon, Apple, Taco Bell, Southwest Airlines Operational risk Sustainability and “triple bottom line” –Economics, employees, environment
32
Operations -- Prof. Juran What is Productivity? Productivity is a common measure on how well resources are being used. In the broadest sense, it can be defined as the following ratio: Outputs Inputs
33
Operations -- Prof. Juran Total Measure Productivity Total Measure Productivity = Outputs Inputs or = Goods and services produced All resources used
34
Operations -- Prof. Juran Partial Measure Productivity Output or Output or Output or Output Labor Capital Materials Energy
35
Operations -- Prof. Juran Multifactor Measure Productivity Output. Labor + Capital + Energy or Output. Labor + Capital + Materials
