College 2 operations performance




Importance of operations performance: QSFDC:
Internal benefits; external benefits

, Quality; being right error-free processes; error-free p/s
Speed; being fast fast throughput; quick delivery
Flexibility; being able to change ability to change; frequent new prod,
max choice
Dependability; being on time reliable operation; dependable
delivery
Cost; being productive minimum cost, max value; min price;

How operations can impact TBL performance: planet, sustainability, people

To meanings of quality:
- quality s the specification of a p/s
- quality as the conformance with which the p/s is produced

External and internal benefits of conformance quality:
- externally: it enhances the p/s in the market, or at least avoids customer
complaints
- internally: it brings other benefits to the operation

- externally: it means the elapsed time between a customer asking for a p/s and

polar diagrams are used to indicate the relative importance of each performance
objective to an operation of process. They can also be used to indicate the
diference between diferent products and services produced by an operation or
process.

Operations strategy
Strategy= setting broad objectives that direct an enterprise towards its overall
goal. Planning the path that will achieve these goals. Stressing long-term rather
than short-term objectives. Dealing with the total picture rather than stressing
individual activities. Being detached from, and above, the confusion and
distractions of day-to-day-activities.

Operations= the resources that create products and services
Operational=the opposite of strategic, meaning day-to-day and detailed.
Operations strategy key attributes;
- implements, be dependable
- supports, be appropriate
- drives , be innovative

4 perspectives on operations strategy:
- top-down: what the business wants operations to do
- market requirement: what the market position requires operations to do
- bottom-up: what day-to-day experience suggests operations should do

, - operations resources: what operations resources can do

Corporate strategy  business strategy  operations strategy


College 3 process design




Producst and service design: p/s should be designed in such a way that they can
be created efectively.
Process design: processes should be designed so they can create all products and
services which the operation is likely to introduce
Impact each other, and cannot be designed separately.

In manufacturing operations overlapping the activities of product and process
design is beneficial.
In most service operations the overlap between serice and process design is
implicit in the nature of service

There are diferent process types, process types are defined by the volume and
variety of items they process, process types go by diferent names depending on
whether they produce p/s

Manufacturing process types:




Project processes: one-of complex, large scale, high work content products.
Specially-made, every one customized. Defined start and finish. Many diferent
skills have to be coordinated
Batch processes: higher volumes and lower variety than for jobbing. Standard
products. Specialized, narrower skills. Set-ups at each stage of production.
