ISM 270 Service Engineering and Management Lecture 5: Facility Location, Project Management, Forecasting
Anne Robinson • Director, Information and Data Strategy at Cisco • Vice President, Marketing, Communications, & Outreach at INFORMS (Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences • PhD (Stanford) in Management Science and Engineering / Industrial Engineering
Announcements • Homework 3 • Class Project
Class Project: New Service Development • Individual Projects, unless otherwise arranged • Choose a new service idea (a) Develop a prototype or overview (b) Develop the business case as to why idea is profitable, competitive, etc. • Both of these must be included, but emphasis can be on either (a) or (b) above
Project Ideas • You may like to incorporate tools from the class • Forecasting demand • Google Maps API • Data Envelopment Analysis • Competitive forces / comparison • Web Services programming • You are welcome (and encouraged) to take a real idea that applies to your business or studies • You may choose to project a technology that is not available yet, but don’t go too far from reality
Project Deliverables • Preliminary Proposal (Feb 17) • Written report (due March9) • Include both business plan and service description • Can focus more heavily on either plan or prototype • Presentation on March9 • 15 minutes + 5 minutes questions
Proposal Feb 17 • 1-page • Summary of idea • Focus (prototype vs. business plan) • Outline of plan to complete
Written Report • Think 10-page • Professional presentation • Make use of charts, tables • Include some estimates of numbers (even if preliminary) • Market size • Profit potential
Project Presentation • 20 minutes – 15 min presentation, 5 min questions • Clear presentation of service idea • Prototype demonstration/screenshot/outline • Differentiate from competition • Give market estimation • How many potential customers? • How will you make money? • What are the risks? • Argue why this will lead to successful service business
Today’s Themes • Designing a Service Facility • Where • What components? • What does the process look like to deliver service? • (loosely taken from ‘the supporting facility’ and ‘facility location’ chapters
Process Analysis Terminology • Cycle Time is the average time between completions of successive units. • Bottleneck is the factor that limits production usually the slowest operation. • Capacity is a measure of output per unit time when fully busy. • Capacity Utilization is a measure of how much output is actually achieved. • Throughput Time is the time to complete a process from time of arrival to time of exit.
Process Analysis Terminology (cont.) • Rush Order Flow Time is the time to go through the system without any queue time. • Direct Labor Content is the actual amount of work time consumed. • Total Direct Labor Content is the sum of all the operations times. • Direct Labor Utilization is a measure of the percentage of time that workers are actually contributing value to the service.

Facility Design Considerations • Nature and Objectives of Service Organization • Land Availability and Space Requirements • Flexibility • Security • Aesthetic Factors • The Community and Environment
Environmental Orientation Considerations • Need for spatial cues to orient visitors • Formula facilities draw on previous experience • Entrance atrium allows visitors to gain a quick orientation and observe others for behavioral cues • Orientation aids and signage such as “You Are Here” maps reduce anxiety
Service Facility Location Planning • Competitive positioning: prime location can be barrier to entry. • Demand management: diverse set of market generators. • Flexibility: plan for future economic changes and portfolio effect. • Expansion strategy: contiguous, regional followed by “fill-in,” or concentrated.

Effect of Optimization Criteria 1. Maximize Utilization (City C: elderly find distance a barrier)2. Minimize Distance per Capita (City B: centrally located)3. Minimize Distance per Visit (City A: many frequent users) City A 3 * 2 -10 -5 5 10 15 * -15 -10 -5 5 10 15 20 25 * City C City B 1
Estimation of Geographic Demand • Define the Target Market(Families with income above $60k) • Select a Unit of Area (Census track, ZIP code) • Estimate Geographic Demand (Regression analysis) • Map Geographic Demand (3D visual depiction)

Huff Retail Location Model First,a gravity analogy is used to estimate attractiveness of store j for customers in area i. Aij= Attraction to store j for customers in area i Sj = Size of the store (e.g. square feet) Tij= Travel time from area i to store j lambda = Parameter reflecting propensity to travel
Huff Retail Location Model Second, to account for competitors we calculate the probability that customers from area i will visit a particular store j.
Huff Retail Location Model Third, annual customer expendituresfor item kat store j can now be calculated. Pij = Probability customers from area i travel to store j Ci = Number of customers in area i (e.g. census track) Bik = Annual budget for product k for customers in area i m = Number of customer areas in the market region
Huff Retail Location Model Fourth, market share of product k purchased at store j can now be calculated.
Site Selection Considerations 1. Access: 4. Parking: Convenient to freeway exit and Adequate off-street parking entrance ramps 5. Expansion: Served by public transportation Room for expansion 2. Visibility: 6. Environment: Set back from street Immediate surroundings Surrounding clutter should complement the Sign placement service 3. Traffic: 7. Competition: Traffic volume on street that may Location of competitors Indicate potential impulse buying 8. Government: Traffic congestion that could be a Zoning restrictions hindrance (e.g.., fire stations) Taxes
Breaking the Rules • Competitive Clustering (Among Competitors) (e.g. Auto Dealers, Motels) • Saturation Marketing (Same Firm) (e.g. An Bon Pain, Ice Cream Vendors) • Marketing Intermediaries (e.g. Credit Cards, HMO) • Substitute Electronic Media for Travel (e.g. telecommuting, e-Commerce) • Impact of the Internet on Service Location(e.g. Amazon.com, eBay, FedEx)
Discussion • How do the rules change when service encounter is offered over web?
The Nature of Project Management • Characteristics of Projects: purpose, life cycle, interdependencies, uniqueness, and conflict. • Project Management Process: planning (work breakdown structure), scheduling, and controlling. • Selecting the Project Manager: credibility, sensitivity, ability to handle stress, and leadership. • Building the Project Team: Forming, Storming, Norming, and Performing. • Principles of Effective Project Management: direct people individually and as a team, reinforce excitement, keep everyone informed, manage healthy conflict, empower team, encourage risk taking and creativity. • Project Metrics: Cost, Time, Performance
Work Breakdown Structure 1.0 Move the hospital (Project)1.1 Move patients (Task) 1.1.1 Arrange for ambulance (Subtask) 1.1.1.1 Prepare patients for move 1.1.1.2 Box patients personnel effects1.2 Move furniture 1.2.1. Contract with moving company • • •
Project Management Questions • What activities are required to complete a project and in what sequence? • When should each activity be scheduled to begin and end? • Which activities are critical to completing the project on time? • What is the probability of meeting the project completion due date? • How should resources be allocated to activities?
Example: Planning a Tennis Tournament • What is the earliest / latest each activity can be begin / be completed? • Given the plan, how likely is it that things will run behind schedule?
