1 CHAPTER NINE Operations Management (Production) Manufacturing Service

2 What s Had The Biggest Effect on Productivity? Downsizing Hiring Part-Time Workers Empowering Workers Quality & Customer Satisfaction Computers & Technology Percentage of Workforce

3 Leading U.S. Manufacturing States WASHINGTON New York OREGON IDAHO MONTANA NORTHDAKOTA Illinois MINNESOTA SOUTHDAKOTA WISCONSIN MICHIGAN NEWYORK MAINE VT NH MASS WYOMING MICHIGAN CONN RI NEVADA UTAH NEBRASKA IOWA ILLINOIS INDIANA OHIO PENNSYLVANIA DC NEW JERSEY DELAWARE MARYLAND CALIFORNIA COLORADO KANSAS MISSOURI WEST VIRGINIA VIRGINIA KENTUCKY California ARIZONA NEWMEXICO OKLAHOMA ARKANSAS LOUISIANA Ohio NORTHCAROLINA TENNESSEE SOUTH CAROLINA Pennsylvania ALABAMA GEORGIA TEXAS MISSISSIPPI ALASKA Miles HAWAII Miles Texas FLORIDA Miles

4 The Americans and the Japanese decided to engage in a competitive boat race. Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance. On the big day they felt they were ready The Japanese won by a mile.

5 Afterwards the American team was discouraged by the loss. Morale sagged. Corporate management decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found, so a consulting firm was hired to investigate the problem and recommend corrective action

6 The consultants finding: The Japanese team had eight people rowing and one person steering; the American team had one person rowing and eight people steering..

7 After a year of study and millions spent analyzing the problem, the consultant firm concluded that too many people were steering and not enough were rowing on the American team So as race day neared again the following year, the American team s management structure was completely reorganized.

8 The new structure: Four steering managers, three area steering managers, and a new performance review system for the person rowing the boat to provide work incentive. The next year, the Japanese won by TWO miles Humiliated, the American corporation laid off the rower for poor performance and gave the managers a bonus for discovering the problem.

9 What has the US done to regain a competitive edge? Customer focus Cost savings through site selection New manufacturing techniques Reliance on the Internet Total Quality Management ISO 9000/ISO

10 Using land, labor, capital, entrepreneurship, knowledge to produce goods and services. Transforms resources into goods and services. inventory management production scheduling quality control follow-up services

11 The Production & Operations Process Inputs Conversion Process Output Manufacturing UB s Dry Cleaners Service

12 1. Facility location a. Near resources b. Near markets 2. Facility layout a. For services: customer friendly b. For manufacturing - customer focused work cells - away from assembly lines c. Outsourcing

13 3. Quality Control a. Measurement of products and services against set requirements b. Often at the end of the line c. Now quality becomes everyone s concern

14 Quality Control Standards Six Sigma ( ) Quality (3.4) Statistical Quality Control (SQC) Statistical Process Control (SPC) Deming Cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Act) (Eliminate mistakes) Quality Function Deployment (QFD) (maximize customer satisfaction) Baldridge Award ISO 9000/14000/9001:2002

15 1. Baldridge Awards: quality in a. leadership b. Strategic planning c. Customer and market focus d. Information and analysis e. Human resource focus f. Process management g. Business results

16 2. ISO Sets global measures for the quality of individual products - Provides a common denominator of business quality accepted around the world 3. ISO Concerns managing an organization s environmental impact - Requires targets, policies and reviews of environmental programs

17 1. Measuring quality - Productivity strong in manufacturing, but weak in services - Quality versus quantity issues 2. Technological improvements - ATMs improve banking - Universal Price Codes make checkout faster - Computerized airline reservations, meal selection, and luggage handling (finger printing foreigners) - Interactive services from banks, stockbrokers, travel agents

18 1. Form Utility - the value added by the creation of finished goods and services

19 2. Types of Production Processes a. Process manufacturing - physically or chemically changing materials - making steel, or cooking eggs b. Assembly process -putting together components - TV, cars

20 2. Types of Production Processes a. Continuous 1) one long production run turns out finished goods 2) like an assembly line b. Intermittent 1) short production runs where machines are changed to make different products 2) custom made furniture 3) easier to respond to customer requests.

21 1. Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) a. Uses sales forecasts to make sure required parts are available when needed b. Now outdated 2. MRPII Manufacturing resource planning a. involved more than just materials b. also has been updated 3. ERP Enterprise resource planning a. Links multiple firms. b. Monitors quality and satisfaction as it s happening. c. IT has had a major influence

22 Modern Production Techniques Just-In-Time (JIT) Inventory Purchasing Flexible Manufacturing Lean Manufacturing Mass Customizing Competing in Time Technology Assisted Computer-Aided Design (CAD) Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM)

23 1. Just in time inventory control (JIT) a. Parts and supplies are delivered just as needed in the production process b. Avoids storage charges and damages 2. Internet purchasing a. Reduces purchasing costs b. 3 types 1) trading exchange platforms - assist companies in several markets 2) industry-sponsored exchanges 3) Net market makers -host electronic marketplaces

24 3. Flexible Manufacturing a. Designing machines to do multiple tasks b. Ford makes both V-8 and V-6 engines 4. Lean Manufacturing a. Increasing capacity to produce high-quality goods while decreasing need for resources b. Workers perform a cluster of tasks, not one assembly line job. 5. Mass customization - Flexible machines can produce a good as fast as mass-produced goods once could.

25 6. Competing in Time a. Being as fast or faster than all competition in responding to customer want and needs b. Essential in global marketplace 7. CAD and CAM a. CAD 3D designing b. CAM direct computer involvement in production process c. CIM Computer Integrated Manufacturing 1) software that unites CAD and CAM 2) currently expensive 3) cuts 80% of the time needed to program machines to make parts

26 Just in time inventory control Mass customization Lean manufacturing Flexible manufacturing Competing in time The Daimler-Chrysler plant in Fenton, MO receives shipments about every 4 hours from its seat supplier, and literally hundreds of other parts continually. There is virtually no storage. Volvo uses modular construction in their plants, where workers are grouped into autonomous teams working on mobile assembly platforms that carry the cars to the workers. Each worker has been trained to do a whole cluster of tasks. This system enabled Volvo to build quality cars with fewer workers in more space efficient plants and has reduced the number of hours to assemble a car. Because of the increases competition from its Japanese counter-parts Xerox implemented a program designed to cut its new product development time in half Levis markets a service which enables any customer to order a custom-made pair of jeans from any retailer at any time. The jeans cost $10 more than an off-the-rack pair. At Dynalink Industries, 15 machines are used to make, test and package component parts for stereo and quadraphonic sound systems. The parts are never touched by human hands.

27 Control Procedures Program Evaluation & Review Techniques (PERT) Critical Path Method (CPM) Gantt Chart

28 Program Evaluation & Review Techniques (PERT) Designing a PERT Chart 1. Analyze and sequence task that need to be done 2. Estimate the time needed to complete each task 3. Draw a PERT network illustrating the two previous steps 4. Identify the critical path - the sequence that takes the longest
