What is Operations Management?
Operations Management (OM) is the set of activities that create value in the forms of goods/services by transforming inputs into outputs.
Production is the creation of goods and services
3
Organizing to Produce Goods and Services
Essential functions: Marketing – generates demand Production/operations – creates the
product Finance/accounting – tracks how well the
organization is doing, pays bills, collects the money

Why study OM?We want to study how people organize themselves for productive enterprise
We want to know how goods and services are produced
We want to learn what operations managers (executives) do
OM is a costly part of an organization

separate from consumption
Can be inventoried Low customer

Characteristics of Service
Intangible product Produced and consumed at
same time Often unique High customer interaction Inconsistent product

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
Feedback loop
Outputs
Goods and
services
Processes
The U.S. economic system transforms inputs to outputs at
about an annual 2.5% increase in productivity per year. The
productivity increase is the result of a mix of capital (38% of 2.5%),
labor (10% of 2.5%), and management (52% of 2.5%).

management
Measure of process improvement Represents output relative to input Only through productivity increases can
our standard of living improve
Productivity
Productivity =Units produced
Input used
Productivity Calculations If units produced= 1000 and labor used is 250 hrs then
Productivity =Units produced
Labor-hours used
= = 4 units/labor-hour1,000250
Labor Productivity
One resource input single-factor productivity
Multi-Factor Productivity Output
Labor + Material + Energy + Capital + MiscellaneousProductivity =
Also known as total factor productivity Output and inputs are often expressed in
dollars
Multiple resource inputs multi-factor productivity

Example 1 Riverside Metal Works produces cast bronze valves on a 10-person assembly line. On a recent day, 160 valves were produced during an 8-hour shift.
a) Calculate the labor productivity of the line.
b) The manager at Riverside changed the layout and was able to increase production to 180 units per 8-hour shift. What is the new labor productivity?
c) What is the percentage of productivity increase?

Example 2Collins Title wants to evaluate its labor and multifactor productivity with a new computerized search system. The company has a staff of four, each working 8 hours per day (for a payroll cost of $160/day for each staff) and overhead expenses of $400 per day. Collins processes and closes on 8 titles each day. The new computerized title-search system will allow the processing of 14 titles per day. Although the staff, their work hours, and pay are the same, the overhead expenses are now $800 per day.
a) Calculate labor productivity of both old and new system.
b) Calculate multifactor productivity of both old and new system.
c) Is it wise for the company to switch to new system?

Example 3 In December, General Motors produced 6,600 customized vans at its plant in Detroit. The labor productivity at this plant is known to have been 0.10 vans per labor hour during that month. 300 laborers were employed at the pant that month.
a) How many hours did the average laborer worked that month?
b) If productivity can be increased to 0.11 vans per hour, how many hours would the average laborer work that month?
