  6. Goods vs Service Steel productionAutomobile fabrication Home remodelingRetail sales Auto Repair Appliance repair Maid Service Manual car wash Teaching Lawn mowing High percentage goods Low percentage service Low percentage goods High percentage service

  7. Output Intangible Tangible Customer contact High Low Uniformity of input Low High Labor content High Low Uniformity of output Low High Measurement of productivity Difficult Easy Opportunity to correct Low High quality problems Manufacturing vs Service Characteristic Manufacturing Service

  8. An Operation As A Productive System Inputs Outputs Energy Transformation (Conversion) Process Materials Labor Goods or Services Capital Information Feedback information for control of process inputs and process technology

  9. What is Operations Mgmt.? • Creation and Distribution of Goods and Services • Procurement of Required Materials

  10. What is Operations Mgmt.? • The Traditional Model OM transforms factors of production into goods or services of higher value • The Business Process Model of the Firm OM is involved in doing or supporting the four core sets of business processes • Determining customer needs • Developing product strategy (product innovation) • Managing the entire supply chain • Managing non-value adding support activities

  11. Implications of the Business Process Perspective • Operations Managers Must Maintain a Cross-functional perspective • Concern about pleasing the customer is paramount • A resource balancing act: things, humans and information • The Operations Manager must wear many hats • Profit = MS1 x MS2x MS3 = market size x market share x margin on sales where margin on sales = price – cost

  12. Managing the Operations Subsystem • Functions of the operations manager: • Planning • Product Planning • Facilities Design • Organizing • Determines the activities required to achieve the operations subsystem’s goals. • Assign authority for carrying them out. • Controlling • Measure the outputs to see if theyconform to what has been planned.
