OM MISSION
ADD VALUE
OM is where a company really makes (or loses) money.
15
Think of a recent job.
Any obvious process inefficiencies?
$
Increase customer value at each stage of the process
The “value added” is the net increase from input to output

PRODUCTIVITY
CH01: Operations & Productivity
ADMN580: Quantitative Decision Making
Productivity measures how efficiently inputs are converted into outputs
22
OUTPUT
INPUT
Productivity is the ratio of outputs (goods and services) divided by the inputs (such as labor, capital, and management)

Why is improving productivity a “game of seconds” at Starbucks?
| PROCESS IMPROVEMENT | SAVINGS |
| Stop requiring signatures on credit card purchases under $25 | 08 sec per transaction |
| Change the size of the ice scoop | 14 sec per drink |
| New espresso machines | 12 sec per shot |
Ops improvements have helped Starbucks increase yearly revenue per outlet by $250,000 to $1,000,000 in seven years. Productivity has improved by 27% (about 4.5% per year)

ANALYZE THE RESULTS
Productivity measures must be compared to something, i.e. another year, a different company, a different product.
Actually, it depends . . .

Quality may change while the quantity of inputs and outputs remains constant
External Elements may cause an increase or decrease in productivity
Precise Units of measure may be lacking

GROUP DISCUSSION: An Ethical Dilemma
36
Assume your team owns a chain of auto repair shops . . .
Discuss how to dispose of old car batteries?
What factors drive your decision?
?
Car batteries contain lead (a toxic, harmful material)
The US car battery recycling rate now exceeds 95%
Recycling batteries in the US is difficult and expensive (EPA regulations include strict pollution controls)
Shipping old batteries to Mexico is legal, easy, and cheap (Mexican environmental regulations are much more lax)
One if Five used batteries currently go to Mexico for recycling
Health issues associated with lead include high blood pressure, kidney damage, neurological problems, and arrested development in children.
