Chapter Objectives

Be able to: Explain what a business process is and how the business

perspective differs from a traditional functional perspective. Create process maps for a business process and use these to

understand and diagnose a process. Calculate and interpret some common measures of process

performance. Discuss the importance of benchmarking and distinguish

between competitive benchmarking and process benchmarking.

Describe the Six Sigma methodology, including the steps of the DMAIC process.

Use and interpret some common continuous improvement tools.

Explain what the Supply-Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model is and why it is important to businesses.

Business Processes

• Business processes defined

• Mapping business processes

• Managing and improving business processes– Measuring process performance

• The SCOR Model

Page 6: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Business Processes DefinedLogically related sets of tasks or activities

geared toward some business outcome Primary

the main value-added activities

Supportnecessary, but not value-added activities

Developmentactivities that improve primary & support activities

What is the distinction? Examples of each? Are the dividing lines always clear?

Pg 46

Page 7: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Examples of processes

• Providing a service

• Educating Customers

• Manufacturing a product

• Evaluating suppliers

• Recruiting new workers

• Developing a sales & operating plan

Primary•Developing new products•Performing research on improving products•Training new workers

Support Development

Page 8: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

• Prior to 1990s, attention was on activities within each business function (P&G)

• If focus was on individual functions and those functions ran well, then the business should do well

• Managing functions is not the same as managing what a business does

• The whole needs to be greater than the sum of it’s parts

Page 9: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Versus the “functional” Perspective

What are some of the challenges in managing such processes?

Developing new products/services (Chapter 6)

Evaluating suppliers (Chapter 10)

Developing sales & operations plans (Chapter 13)

Suppliers Purchasing Engineering Operations Finance Marketing Customers

Page 10: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

To effectively manage, measure and improve something, it must

first be understood

Page 11: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Mapping Business Processes

• Creates common understanding of the activities, results and who performs the steps

• Defines the boundaries of the process• Can be a training tool• Provides baseline to measure improvement

An effective, simple way to improve understanding of the business process is by developing a graphic representation of all the activities and relationships with thin the process

Pg 48

Page 12: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Mapping Business Processes

• Relationship maps

• Detailed process maps

• ‘Swim Lane’ process maps

Page 13: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Relationship Map Example

Automotive OEM wanted to understand how the company’s needs were communicated to suppliers

First-tier supplier responsible for entire cockpit (all interior pieces)

Second-tier suppliers provide “families” of parts to first-tier supplier (e.g., plastic trim, gauges and wiring, etc.)

Page 14: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Findings

1) OEM provided first-tier supplier with weekly demand forecast for next 10 weeks

2) First-tier supplier sent its ‘own’ demand forecasts to 10 second-tier suppliers

3) Second-tier suppliers delivered the requirements to first-tier supplier

Detailed Process Map

Identifies the specific activities that make up the process. Basic steps are:

1. Identify the entity that will serve as your focal point: Customer? Order? Item?

2. Identify clear boundaries, starting and ending points

Segment of the process?

3. Keep it simple Does this detail add any insight? Do we need to map every exception condition?

Page 17: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Detailed Process Map

• Document the process “as is”, not how it should be or how it is remembered

• May be necessary to observe, monitor &/or follow the process

• Need to map in manageable, logical segments

• Keep the focus relatively small• Only areas which you have managerial control

Page 18: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Mapping Symbols

Typical, but others may be used as appropriate

Start or finishing point

Step or activity in the process

Decision point (typically requires a “yes” or “no”)

Input or output (typically data or materials)

Facts of the Case I

Process1) Dealer faxes order to DC. One out of 25 orders lost

because of paper jams.

2) Fax sits in “In Box” around 2 hours (up to 4) until internal mail picks it up.

3) Internal mail takes about one hour (up to 1.5 hours) to deliver to the picking area. One out of 100 faxes are delivered to the wrong place.

4) Order sits in clerk’s in-box until it is processed (0 to 2 hours). Processing time takes 5 minutes.

Page 21: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Facts of the Case II

5) If item is in stock, worker picks and packs order (average = 20 minutes, but up to 45 minutes).

6) Inspector takes 2 minutes to check order. Still, one out of 200 orders are completed incorrectly.

7) Transport firm delivers order (1 to 3 hours).

Improving Business Processes: Guidelines

• Attack each delay– What causes it?– How long is it?– How could we reduce its impact?

• Examine each decision point– Is this a real decision or just a checking activity?– If the latter, can we automate or eliminate it?

• Dematerialize documentation. – Can we do it electronically?– Eliminate multiple copies?– Share a common database?

Page 28: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

More Guidelines

• Look for loops– Why is this loop here?– Would we need to loop if we didn’t have any failures

in quality, planning, etc?

• Process steps– What is the value of this activity, relative to its cost?– Is this a necessary activity (support or

developmental?), or something else?

Page 29: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Taking It Further ...

• All activities add costs and time

• Not all value-added activities provide “net” value– “Underperformers”

• Not all support and developmental activities are necessary– Necessary versus “symptomatic”

Page 30: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Symptomatic Activities ...

• Inspecting or reworking goods

• Expediting shipments or “fighting fires”

• Overproducing, holding excessive inventories

• Standard backorder process

Page 31: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

…and Typical Causes

• Poor quality

• “Flying blind,” poor planning

• Poor controls, training, etc.

• Excessive demand variability

• Mismatches between an organization’s capabilities and market requirements

Swim Lane Process Map

In some situations, we may need to understand not only the process, but who, or which departments are involved and how they need to interact

Swim Lane Process Maps graphically arrange the process so that responsibility & interaction is clear.

Swim Lane Process Map

• Shows functional relationships versus time• Can help in measuring loading on various

functional areas• Illustrates cross-function communication

processes• Other names: cross-functional flowchart,

Rummler-Brache diagram.• Useful for mapping MIS support for processes

Process Measures

There are countless ways of measuring a process. To be effective, they should be based upon some type of measurable information or data

Page 37: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Four Performance Dimensions

• Quality (performance, conformance, reliability)

• Time (delivery speed and reliability, development

speed)

• Flexibility (mix, changeover, volume)

• Cost (labor, material, engineering, quality-related)

What does the customer value?

Productivity Measures

Productivity = OutputsInputs

Single-factor, Multifactor, and Total measures of productivity

Productivity is the ratio of outputs to inputs

Page 40: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Variations of Productivity

Batteries ProducedMachine Hours + Direct Labor Hours

Total Nightly Sales ($)Total Nightly Costs ($)

Batteries ProducedDirect Labor Hours

Single-factorproductivity ratio:

Multifactor:

Total multifactor:

Measures output levels relative to a single input

Measures output levels relative to more than one input

Ratio of a total output factor to total input factor

Page 41: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Variations of Productivity

There are many common or standard productivity measures, typically a company will develop productivity ratios which are suited to their specific needs

Page 42: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Consider the following data . . .

Quantity $/Unit

Car X 4000 cars $8,000/car

Car Y 6000 cars $9,500/car

Total labor for building X

20,000 hours $12/hour

Total labor for building Y

30,000 hours $14/hour

Page 43: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

What is the Labor Productivityin hours for Each Car?

Car X: (4,000 cars / 20,000 hrs) = ?

Car Y: (6,000 cars / 30,000 hrs) = ?

0.2

0.2

Page 44: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

What is the Labor Productivityin dollars for Each Car?

Impact of wage, price changes?

Car X: (4,000 × $8,000) = ?(20,000 × $12)

Car Y: (6,000 × $9,500) = ?(30,000 × $14)

Page 45: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Results(What are the Benefits? Caveats?)

Car X: (4,000 × $8,000) = 133.33(20,000 × $12)

Car X: (4,000 units / 20,000 hrs.) = 0.2 units / hr

EfficiencyA comparison of a company’s actualperformance to some standard output

Usually expressed as a percentageStandard is an estimate of what should be produced

based on studies or historical resultsEfficiency = 100%(actual rate / standard rate)

OR: Efficiency = 100%(standard time/actual time) for one unit

Standard output – an estimate of what should be produced, given a certain level of resources

Cycle Time(throughput time)

Total time required to complete a process from start to finish.

• To reduce cycle time, organizations must perform well on other performance dimensions

• It is a straight forward measure; can be measured in absolute terms, no estimates

Percent Value Added Time – the percentage of cycle time which is spent on value-added activities

Page 49: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Cycle Time Drivers

Causes that increase cycle time are:Waiting times

Unneeded steps

Rework

Unnecessary controls or testing

Outmoded technology

Lack of information or training

Page 50: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

BenchmarkingA comparison of a company’s

performance to the performance of:

Other firms in its industry (strategic or competitive)

Firms identified as “world-class” (process)

Page 51: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Benchmarking Data from“The Machine That Changed The World”

Number of assembly defects per 100 vehicles (1989):

Average Japanese plant: 34.0

Average US plant: 64.6

Average European plant: 76.8

Is this strategic or process benchmarking?

Page 52: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

More Benchmarking Data ...

Labor and machine hours per vehicle (1989):

Average Japanese plant: 16.9

Average US plant: 35.7

Average European plant: 57

What is the benefit of having both sets of figures?

Page 53: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

So what’s happened since?

Some new productivity figures.

Page 54: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

From “The Harbour Report”, July 1998

“Labor hours needed for stamping, power train, and assembly operations”:

(100%) Nissan 27.6 hours (168%) GM 46.5 hours (126%)

Ford 34.7 hours "If GM could operate at Nissan's level of productivity, they'd

save themselves about $4.4 billion a year," Measured another way, the report shows GM has about 55,000 more workers than it needs.

Other Measures I

Costs

Quality

• Materials• Labor• Shipping• etc.

• Defects per million (ppm)• Number of returns• Time between failures (MTBF,

reliability)

Page 56: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Other Measures II

Speed

Flexibility

• Lead time to customer• Percent orders late

• Changeover time• Volume to meet changes in

demand

Page 57: Business Processes Chapter 4. Text: Introduction to Operations and Supply Chain Management Custom edition for Farmingdale State College Authors: Cecil

Measurement Key Points

• Can be situation-specific

• Should be relative to past performance and future goals

• Potential for conflicts. Consider:
