Typical Operations Management Decisions
• How much will we sell?• How do we measure quality?• Which product do we offer?• How to produce good / provide service?• Where do we locate our facility?• Is subcontracting a good idea?• How much inventory should we keep?
Characteristics of Goods
• Tangible product• Consistent product
definition• Production usually
separate from consumption
• Can be inventoried• Low customer
interaction© 1995 Corel Corp.
Characteristics of Services
• Intangible product• Inconsistent product
definition• Produced & consumed at
same time• Cannot be inventoried• High customer interaction

Thinking Challenge
The distinction between goods & services is seldom clear. Almost all goods have some service. An automobile requires maintenance. Classify (1) computer, (2) fast-food restaurant, (3) dentist, (4) counseling on the scale below.

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
Efficiency Versus Effectiveness
• 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
Efficiency Versus Effectivenes
• 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.

Measure of process improvement Represents output relative to input Only through productivity increases can
our standard of living improve

Multi-Factor Productivity

Productivity =
Also known as total factor productivity Output and inputs are often expressed in
dollars
Multiple resource inputs multi-factor productivity

Measurement Problems1. Quality may change while the quantity
of inputs and outputs remains constant (HDTV, iphones)
2. External elements may cause an increase or decrease in productivity (using more reliable electric power system)
3. Precise units of measure may be lacking

Productivity Variables
1. Labor - contributes about 10% of the annual increase
2. Capital - contributes about 38% of the annual increase
3. Management - contributes about 52% of the annual increase

Key Variables for Improved Labor Productivity
1. Basic education appropriate for the labor force2. Diet of the labor force3. Social overhead that makes labor available such as
transportation and sanitation
Challenge is in maintaining and enhancing skills in the midst of rapidly changing technology and knowledge

Service Productivity
1. Typically labor intensive (teaching, counseling)
2. Frequently focused on unique individual desires (customer representatives in banks)
3. Often an intellectual task performed by professionals4. Often difficult to mechanize5. Often difficult to evaluate for quality

Ethics andSocial Responsibility
Challenges facing operations managers:
Developing and producing safe, quality products
Maintaining a clean environment Providing a safe workplace Honoring stakeholder commitments
Example: Diamond Industry
Following are Factors Affecting Productivity in Diamond Industry-
• Employees Training.• Automation.• Equipments Used by Employees-• polishing tangs.• diamond wheels.• Quality and Availability of Raw Diamonds.• Standard of Diamonds Produced by firms.• Management Policies.
Production Introduction
• Production involves the step by step conversion of one form of material into another through chemical or mechanical process with a view to enhance the utility of the product or services.
• According to Elwood Butta “production is a process by which goods or services are created”.
Characteristics of production system
• Production is an organized activity.• The production system transforms the various
inputs into useful outputs.• Production system does not operate in isolation
from the other organizational systems.• There exists a feed back about the activities
which is essential to control and improve system performance.
Functions of production management
• Production planning • Production control • Factory building • Provision of plant services • Plant layout • Physical Environment • Inventory control • Product department
Difference
How is production different from productivity ?• Production is related to the activity of
producing goods or services. It is a process of converting input into value-added output.
• Productivity is related to the efficient utilization of input resource produced in the form of value added goods or services.
• We have understood three things from the above example:
• Production and productivity are two different things.• Increase in production does not necessarily mean
increase in productivity.• Productivity is always associated with the context in
which it is calculated. – For example, in the above case, we have calculated total productivity. While in another case, someone may like to know about material productivity or energy productivity.
Conclusion
• Productivity is a concept, whereas production is a fact.
• Production is achieved by means of resources, productivity is measured through means of maximum manpower, machinery, financial support.
• Production is a variable, dependent on many factors such as labour availability, motive power, etc. whereas productivity is the optimum measure of what or how much can be achieved or realized.
