  1. Operations Management & Performance Modeling 1 OperationsStrategy 2 Process Analysis 3 Lean Operations 4 Supply Chain Management 5 Capacity Management in Service 6 Quality Management • Class 7b: Quality & the Voice of the Customer • The Goal: summary • What is Quality? • Hank Kolb • Voice of the Customer 7 Business Process Reengineering OM&PM/Class 7b

  2. Levers for Reducing Flow Time • “is to decrease the work content of (only ?) critical activities”, • and/or move it to non critical activities. • Reduce waiting time: • reduce variability • arrivals & service requests • synchronize flows within the process • increase safety capacity • lower utilization • Pooling • Match resource availability with flows in and out of process OM&PM/Class 7b

  3. E.g.: Analysis of Service Systems • Divide day into blocks based on arrival rates • For each block evaluate performance measures given current staffing • Quantify financial impact of each action • Workforce training: reduces mean and variability of service time • Work flexibility from workforce: pools available capacity • Time flexibility from workforce: better synchronization • Retain experienced employees: increased safety capacity • Additional workforce: Increases safety capacity • Improved Scheduling: better synchronization • Incentives to affect arrival patterns: better synchronization • Decrease product variety: reduces variability of service time • Increase maximum queue capacity • Consignment program, fax, e-mail etc. S D OM&PM/Class 7b

  4. Framework for Process Flow Management Flow Chart Process Identify Bottlenecks Maximal Flow Rate Identify Critical Path Minimal Flow Time mean Macro Average Performance Process Re-Design No Competitive? Demand Pattern Yes Micro Variability Performance Demand & Supply Mgt No Competitive? variability Continuous Improvement Yes OM&PM/Class 7b

  5. Dimensions of Quality • Performance • Features • Reliability • Conformance • Durability • Serviceability • Aesthetics • Perceived Quality OM&PM/Class 7b

  6. Elements of TQM • Management by fact • Cross-functional (process) approach • Culture and leadership • Customer focus • Employee focus • High performance focus • Continuous improvement • Benchmarking • External alliances - the value chain Source: Eitan Zemel OM&PM/Class 7b

  9. ISO 9000 • Series of standards agreed upon by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) • Adopted in 1987 • More than 100 countries • A prerequisite for global competition? • ISO 9000: “document what you do and then do as you documented.” Design Procurement Production Final test Installation Servicing ISO 9003 ISO 9002 ISO 9001 Source: Adapted from Chase & Aquilano OM&PM/Class 7b

Quality Lever Benefits of Building Q in Early Product Design Process Design Production Improve Product 100:1 10:1 1:1 Time High Visibility Reward Low Visibility Reward Costs of Quality • Cost of Conformance • Cost of Appraisal • Cost of Prevention • Cost of Non-Conformance • Cost of Internal Failure • Cost of External Failure OM&PM/Class 7b

  11. Components of Quality • Voice of the customer • Customer Needs • Quality of Design • Voice of the process • Quality of Conformance • Process Capability • Process Control and Improvement OM&PM/Class 7b

OM&PM/Class 7b

  13. Voice of the Customer: Quality Function Deployment • What do customers want? • Are all preferences equally important? • Will delivering perceived needs deliver a competitive advantage? • How can we change the product? • How do engineering characteristics influence customer perceived quality? • How does one engineering attribute affect another? • What are the appropriate targets for the engineering characteristics? OM&PM/Class 7b

  17. More New Product Development Tools • Value analysis / Value engineering • Design for manufacturability • Robust design OM&PM/Class 7b

  18. Value Analysis/Value Engineering • Achieve equivalent or better performance at a lower cost while maintaining all functional requirements defined by the customer • Does the item have any design features that are not necessary? • Can two or more parts be combined into one? • How can we cut down the weight? • Are there nonstandard parts that can be eliminated? OM&PM/Class 7b
