A Process View Departments have their own objectives and resources to achieve them. Processes may cross different department boundaries, and require resources from several departments.

A Process View Mfr vs. Svc Manufacturing: Transformation of materials on following dimensions physical properties, shape, size, surface finish, joining parts and materials More like a manufacturing process More like a service process Physical, durable output Output can be inventoried Low customer contact Long response time Capital intensive Quality easily measured Intangible, perishable output Output cannot be inventoried High customer contact Short response time Labor intensive Quality not easily measured Figure 1.3 Q.

The Supply Chain View Strategic insight: Processes must add value for customers throughout the supply chain. Support Processes External suppliers Supplier relationship process New service/ product development Order fulfillment process Customer relationship management External customers Figure 1.4
The Supply Chain View Core processes are sets of activities that deliver value to external customers 1. Supplier relationship process Negotiating fair prices Scheduling on-time deliveries Gaining ideas from critical suppliers 2. New service/product development process 3. Order fulfillment process (e.g. Tesco Homeplus) 4. Customer relationship process Support processes provide vital resources and inputs to the core processes
Support Processes TABLE 1.1 EXAMPLES OF SUPPORT PROCESSES Capital acquisition Budgeting Recruitment and hiring Evaluation and compensation Human resource support and development Regulatory compliance Information systems Enterprise and functional management The provision of financial resources for the organization to do its work and to execute its strategy The process of deciding how funds will be allocated over a period of time The acquisition of people to do the work of the organization The assessment and payment of people for the work and value they provide to the company The preparation of people for their current jobs and future skills and knowledge needs The processes that ensure that the company is meeting all laws and legal obligations The movement and processing of data and information to expedite business operations and decisions The systems and activities that provide strategic direction and ensure effective execution of the work of the business

Corporate Strategy Corporate strategy provides an overall direction that serves as the framework for carrying out all the organization s function Environmental scanning: monitoring trends in the environment Developing core competencies: unique resources and strengths Workforce Facilities location, flexibility Market and financial know-how Systems and technologies Developing core processes (Hyundai Card vs. KB Star) Global strategies Procurement, competition global vs. local standard (McDonald vs. Jollibee, Burger King s Bulgogi Burger) Expansion make/buy/alliance
Market Analysis Market segmentation The process of identifying groups of customers with enough in common to be the target for a specific product or service Needs assessment Service or product needs (price, quality, degree of customization) Delivery system needs (convenience, safety, reliability, speed, etc.) Volume needs (volume, variability and predictability in volume) Other needs
Competitive Priorities are The critical operational dimensions a process or supply chain must possess to satisfy internal or external customer
Competitive Priorities TABLE 1.2 DEFINITIONS, PROCESS CONSIDERATIONS, AND EXAMPLES OF COMPETITIVE PRIORITIES COST Definition Process Considerations Example 1. Low-cost operations QUALITY Delivering a service or a product at the lowest possible cost 2. Top quality Delivering an outstanding service or product 3. Consistent quality TIME Producing services or products that meet design specifications on a consistent basis 4. Delivery speed Quickly filling a customer s order 5. On-time delivery 6. Development speed Meeting delivery-time promises Quickly introducing a new science or a product Processes must be designed and operated to make them efficient May require a high level of customer contact and may require superior product features Processes designed and monitored to reduce errors and prevent defects Design processes to reduce lead time Planning processes to increase percent of customer orders shipped when promised Cross-functional integration and involvement of critical external suppliers Costco products on pallets, negotiations with suppliers Ferrari superior product features and high performance McDonald s standardization, training, procurement Dell superior order fulfillment United Parcel Service (UPS) efficient logistics and warehousing processes Li & Fung, Zara fast NPD and delivery
Competitive Priorities TABLE 1.2 DEFINITIONS, PROCESS CONSIDERATIONS, AND EXAMPLES OF COMPETITIVE PRIORITIES FLEXIBILITY Definition Process Considerations Example 7. Customization Satisfying the unique needs of each customer by changing service or products designs 8. Variety Handling a wide assortment of services or products efficiently 9. Volume flexibility Accelerating or decelerating the rate of production of service or products quickly to handle large fluctuations in demand Low volume, close customer contact, and easily reconfigured Capable of larger volumes than processes supporting customization Processes must be designed for excess capacity Ritz Carlton highly individualized service Amazon.com IT in delivering the variety of products The United States Postal Service (USPS) handling Christmas volume!!!
Competitive Priorities - FedEx Are CPs Stable or Dynamic? (Managerial Practice 1.2, p.35) FedEx CP switched from on-time delivery (speed) to low-cost and zero error-rate (dependability)
Order Winners and Qualifiers Order Qualifier Order Winner Sales ($) Sales ($) Low Threshold High Low High Achievement of competitive priority Figure 1.6 A demonstrated level of performance of an order winner that is required for a firm to do business in a particular market segment Achievement of competitive priority A criterion customers use to differentiate the services or products of one firm from those of another
Using Competitive Priorities along the Core Processes Airline Example Customer relationship Top quality lounge svc Consistent quality error free svc Delivery speed flight info, ticket Variety economy, business, first class New service development Development speed faster than the competitors Customization unique to everyone Top quality best service available
Using Competitive Priorities Airline Example Order fulfillment Low-cost operations Top quality svc by trained crew members Consistent quality standards to keep On-time delivery arrival in schedule Variety maintenance svc for various aircrafts
Using Competitive Priorities Supplier relationship Low-cost operations Consistent quality On-time delivery Variety Volume flexibility Airline Example
