The Critical DecisionsThe Critical Decisions

1. Design of goods and services What good or service should we

offer?

How should we design these products and services?

2. Managing quality How do we define quality?

Who is responsible for quality?

Table 1.2 (cont.)

3. Process and capacity design What process and what capacity will

these products require? What equipment and technology is

necessary for these processes?

4. Location strategy Where should we put the facility? On what criteria should we base the

location decision?

Table 1.2 (cont.)

1 - 14

The Critical DecisionsThe Critical Decisions5. Layout strategy

How should we arrange the facility? How large must the facility be to meet

our plan?

6. Human resources and job design How do we provide a reasonable

work environment? How much can we expect our

employees to produce?

Table 1.2 (cont.)

The Critical DecisionsThe Critical Decisions7. Supply-chain management

Should we make or buy this component?

Who should be our suppliers and how can we integrate them into our strategy?

8. Inventory, material requirements planning, and JIT How much inventory of each item

should we have? When do we re-order?

Table 1.2 (cont.)

9. Intermediate and short–term scheduling Are we better off keeping people on

the payroll during slowdowns? Which jobs do we perform next?

10.Maintenance How do we build reliability into our

processes? Who is responsible for maintenance?

Productivity ChallengeProductivity 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!The objective is to improve productivity!

Important Note!Production is a measure of output

only and not a measure of efficiency

1 - 32

Efficiency Versus Efficiency Versus EffectivenessEffectiveness

The difference between efficient and effective is that efficiency refers to how well you do something, whereas effectiveness refers to how useful it is.

“Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things.”

Doing the Right Things is More Important than Doing Things Right

1 - 33

Efficiency Versus Efficiency Versus EffectivenesEffectivenes

For example, if a company is not doing well and they decide to train their workforce on a new technology. The training goes really well - they train all their employees in avery short time and tests show they have absorbed the training well. But overall productivity doesn't improve. In this case the company's strategy was efficient but not effective.

Key Variables for Improved Key Variables for Improved Labor ProductivityLabor Productivity

1. Basic education appropriate for the labor force

2. Diet of the labor force

3. Social overhead that makes labor available such as transportation and sanitation
