Role of the Operations Manager
Learning Objectives (1 of 2)
1.1 Define operations management
1.2 Explain the distinction between goods and services
1.3 Explain the difference between production and productivity
Learning Objectives (2 of 2)
1.4 Compute single-factor productivity

What Is Operations Management?
Production is the creation of goods and services
Operations management (O M) is the set of activities that create value in the form of goods and services by transforming inputs into outputs
Organizing to Produce Goods and Services
Essential functions:
Marketing – generates demand
Production/operations – creates the product
Finance/accounting – tracks how well the organization is doing, pays bills, collects the money

The Supply Chain
A global network of organizations and activities that supply a firm with goods and services
Members of the supply chain collaborate to achieve high levels of customer satisfaction, efficiency and competitive advantage
Figure 1.2 Soft Drink Supply Chain
Why Study O M?
O M is one of three major functions of any organization; we want to study how people organize themselves for productive enterprise
We want (and need) to know how goods and services are produced
We want to understand what operations managers do
O M is such a costly part of an organization

Product design determines quality, sustainability and human resources
Managing quality
Determine the customer’s quality expectations
Establish policies and procedures to identify and achieve that quality
The Strategic Decisions (2 of 5)
Process and capacity design
How is a good or service produced?
Commits management to specific technology, quality, resources, and investment
Location strategy
Nearness to customers, suppliers, and talent
Considering costs, infrastructure, logistics, and government
The Strategic Decisions (3 of 5)
Layout strategy
Integrate capacity needs, personnel levels, technology, and inventory
Determine the efficient flow of materials, people, and information
Human resources and job design
Recruit, motivate, and retain personnel with the required talent and skills
Integral and expensive part of the total system design
Using this and subsequent slides, you might go through in more detail the decisions of Operations Management. While greater detail is provided by these slides than the earlier one, you may still decide to have the students contribute examples from their own experience.

Providing the proper training
Providing proper work methods and tools
Establishing legitimate incentives for work to be accomplished

Operations for Goods and Services (1 of 2)
Services – Economic activities that typically produce an intangible product (such as education, entertainment, lodging, government, financial, and health services)
Operations for Goods and Services (2 of 2)
Manufacturers produce tangible product, services often intangible
Operations activities often very similar
Distinction not always clear
Few pure services
Table 1.3 Differences between Goods and Services
| Characteristics of Services | Characteristics of Goods |
| Intangible: Ride in an airline seat | Tangible: The seat itself |
| Produced and consumed simultaneously: Beauty salon produces a haircut that is consumed as it is produced | Product can usually be kept in inventory (beauty care products) |
| Unique: Your investments and medical care are unique | Similar products produced (iPods) |
| High customer interaction: Often what the customer is paying for (consulting, education) | Limited customer involvement in production |
| Inconsistent product definition: Auto Insurance changes with age and type of car | Product standardized (iPhone) |
| Often knowledge based: Legal, education, and medical services are hard to automate | Standard tangible product tends to make automation feasible |
| Services dispersed: Service may occur at retail store, local office, house call, or via internet. | Product typically produced at a fixed facility |
| Quality may be hard to evaluate: Consulting, education, and medical services | Many aspects of quality for tangible products are easy to evaluate (strength of a bolt) |
| Reselling is unusual: Musical concert or medical care | Product often has some residual value |
U.S. Agriculture, Manufacturing, and Service Employment
Figure 1.5 U.S. Agriculture, Manufacturing, and Service Employment
Table 1.4 Organizations in Each Sector
Service Pay
Perception that services are low-paying
42% of service workers receive above average wages
14 of 33 service industries pay below average
Retail trade pays only 61% of national average
Overall average wage is 96% of the average
Productivity Challenge
Productivity is the ratio of outputs (goods and services) divided by the inputs (resources such as labor and capital)
The objective is to improve productivity!
Important Note!
Production is a measure of output only and not a measure of efficiency
The Economic System
Figure 1.6 The Economic System Adds Value by Transforming Inputs to Outputs
Improving Productivity at Starbucks (1 of 2)
A team of 10 analysts continually look for ways to shave time. Some improvements:
Stop requiring signatures on credit card purchases under $25
Saved 8 seconds per transaction
Change the size of the ice scoop
Saved 14 seconds per drink
New espresso machines
Saved 12 seconds per shot
Improving Productivity at Starbucks (2 of 2)
Operations improvements have helped Starbucks increase yearly revenue per outlet by $250,000 to $1,000,000.
Productivity has improved by 27%, or about 4.5% per year.
Productivity
Measure of process improvement
Represents output relative to input
Only through productivity increases can our standard of living improve
Productivity Calculations
Labor Productivity
One resource input single-factor productivity
Multi-Factor Productivity
Also known as total factor productivity
Output and inputs are often expressed in dollars
Multiple resource inputs multi-factor productivity

Measurement Problems
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
Productivity Variables
Labor - contributes about 10% of the annual increase
Capital - contributes about 38% of the annual increase
Management - contributes about 52% of the annual increase
Key Variables for Improved Labor Productivity
Basic education appropriate for the labor force
Diet of the labor force
Social overhead that makes labor available
Challenge is in maintaining and enhancing skills in the midst of rapidly changing technology and knowledge
Labor Skills
Figure 1.7 About half of the 17-year-olds in the U.S. cannot correctly answer questions of this type
Capital
Management
Ensures labor and capital are effectively used to increase productivity
Use of knowledge
Application of technologies
Knowledge societies
Labor has migrated from manual work to technical and information-processing tasks
More effective use of technology, knowledge, and capital
Productivity in the Service Sector
Productivity improvement in services is difficult because:
Typically labor intensive
Frequently focused on unique individual attributes or desires
Often an intellectual task performed by professionals
Often difficult to mechanize and automate
Often difficult to evaluate for quality
Productivity at Taco Bell (1 of 2)
Improvements:
Revised the menu
Designed meals for easy preparation
Shifted some preparation to suppliers
Efficient layout and automation
