1 Production Management Gyan Bahadur Tamang

2 Definitions: Operations Management is the set of activities that creates value in the form of goods or services by transforming inputs into outputs. - Jay Heizer and Barry Render.

4 Cars that stop or slow down automatically before an object or person in anticipation of a possible crash are not new. But Toyota s latest pre-collision system adds a steering-control feature. In the new system, Toyota uses cameras and a super sensitive radar called millimeterwave, both installed in the front of the vehicle, to detect possible crashes such as a pedestrian crossing the road. The vehicle calculates how braking and steering must be applied to avoid a crash, said chief safety technology officer

5 Definitions: POM is defined as the design, operation and improvement of the transformation process, which converts the various inputs into the desired outputs of the product and services -Kaniska Bedi

7 Functions of Production/Operations Management

8 Production System

9 Production System The elements are: Inputs-The basic needs or resources of the system (Land, Building, equipment, capital, raw material etc.) Transformation process-value addition process(manufacturing processing, information processing or customer processing)

10 Production Function/System The elements are: Outputs-Desired result of the system, may be goods or services.(output should be of Stakeholders' interest) Random disturbances-both controllable and uncontrollable factors influence, causing the difference between planned and actual output. Feedback Mechanism-Comparing Actual versus Desired output/process of comparison and adjustment

11 Transformations Physical--manufacturing Locational--transportation Exchange--retailing Storage--warehousing Physiological--health care Informational--telecommunications 5

13 Goods and Services? Services never include goods and goods never include services. (True or false?)

14 Characteristics of Goods Tangible product Consistent product definition Production usually separate from consumption Can be inventoried Low customer interaction

15 Characteristics of Service Intangible product Produced and consumed at same time Often unique High customer interaction Inconsistent product definition Often knowledge-based Frequently dispersed

16 Goods Versus Services Attributes of Goods (Tangible Product) Can be resold Can be inventoried Some aspects of quality measurable Selling is distinct from production Product is transportable Site of facility important for cost Often easy to automate Revenue generated primarily from tangible product Attributes of Services (Intangible Product) Reselling unusual Difficult to inventory Quality difficult to measure Selling is part of service Provider, not product, is often transportable Site of facility important for customer contact Often difficult to automate Revenue generated primarily from the intangible service Table 1.3

20 Service Definition A service is a time-perishable, intangible experience performed for a customer acting in the role of a coproducer.
