2. Operations Management-Management process concerned with
systematic design, directing and controlling the process of
production and redesigning the business operations in the
production of goods and services.
Operations management -is the administration of business
practices to create the highest level of efficiency possible within
an organization. It is concerned with converting materials and
labor into goods and services as efficiently as possible to
maximize the profit of an organization.
Business operations:
Effective and
4. Process: any activity or group of activities that
takes one or more inputs, transforms and adds
value to them and provides one or more
output for its customers.
Nested process: concept of process within a
process
5. Operation Management is important to
improve the overall productivity of an
organization.
Operation management plays a crucial role in
an organization as it handles issues like
design, operations, and maintenance of the
system used for the production of goods &
services.
6. How important is operations management?
The business function responsible for planning,
coordinating, and controlling the resources needed
to produce products and services for a company.
Operations management refers to the
administration of business practices to create the
highest level of efficiency possible within an
organization.
9. Operations management includes:
Principles of general management
Manufacturing / production system
Factory management
Equipment maintenance & store management
Production control
Industrial relations
Cost control
Materials control / inventory planning
10. Productivity and measure of productivity
Productivity is the basic measure of performance for economies,
industries, firms and process. Productivity is the value of outputs
(service and products) produced divided by the values of input
resources (wages, cost of equipment….) used.
Productivity= Output/Input
11. Types of productivity measures:
Labour productivity
Capital productivity
Direct cost productivity
Energy productivity
Raw material productivity
Multi productivity ratio / index
12. Example:
There are two industries manufactured two types of product. Standard
time of production per piece is 1.5 minutes. The output of two
industries are 300 and 200 respectively per shift of 8 hours.
1. What is the productivity of each per shift of 8 hours?
Productivity= actual production / standard production
13. The sate ferry service charges Rs.18 per ticket, plus Rs.3 surcharge. It is
expects to sell 4700 tickets during the eight week summer season.
During that period, the ferry service will experience Rs110000 in labour
cost. Materials required for each passage sold (tickets, tourist
information sheet, and the ticket) cost Rs.1.30. Overhead during the
period comes to Rs79,000.
What is the multifactor productivity ratio?
If ferry-support staff work an average of 310 person-hours per week
for the 8 weeks of the summer season, what is the labour
productivity ratio? (calculate on an hour basis).
14. Solution:
Ticket sold: 4700
Price: Rs.18
Surcharge: Rs.3
Value of output: Rs.98700
Labour cost: Rs.110000
Material cost: 4700x1.30=6110
Overhead cost: Rs.79000
Total cost (input): 195110
Multi factor productivity: 98700/195110
16. Student tuition at university Birmingham University is Dollar 100 per
semester credit hour. The sate supplements school revenue by
matching student tuition Dollar for Dollar. Average class size for a
typical three-credit course is 50 students. Labour cost are dollar 4000
per class, material costs are dollar 20 per student per class, and over
head costs are dollar 25000 per class.
1.Calculate multifactor productivity ratio
2. If instructors work an average of 14 hours per week for 16 weeks for
each three credit class of 50 students, what is the labour productivity
ratio?
17. 1. Value of output=50x3x(100+100)=30000/class
Value of input: Labour+Material+Overhead=
4000+(20x500)+25000=30000/class
Multifactor productivity: Output/Input= 30000/30000=1
2. Labour hours input= 14x16= 224 hours / class
Labour productivity= 30000/224=Dollar 133.93/ hour
18. Decision making of Operations Management
Break even analysis= F+Q.c=Q.P: Q=(F/P-c)
Make or buy

23. THERBLIGS (basic motion element):
Therbligs are 18 kinds of elemental motions used in the study of motion
economy in the workplace. A workplace task is analyzed by recording
each of the therblig units for a process, with the results used for
optimization of manual labor by eliminating unneeded / unwanted
movements.
24. Types of Therbligs:
1. Motions required for performing an operation
2. Motions that tend to slow down type 1 motion
3. Motions that do not perform an operation
25. Types of Therbligs:
1. Motions required for performing an operation:
Transport empty
Grasp
Transport loaded (carry)
Position
Use
Assemble
Disassemble
Release load
Inspect
26. Types of Therbligs:
Motions that tend to slow down type 1 motion :
Search
Find
Select
Plan (person thinking)
Pre-position (set up)
27. Types of Therbligs:
Motions that do not perform an operation :
Hold
Unavoidable delay
Avoidable delay (standby)
Rest
36. Batch production is when a small quantity of identical products are made. Batch production
may also be labour intensive, but jigs and templates are used to aid production. Batches of the
product can be made as often as required. The machines can be easily changed to produce a
batch of a different product.
Mass production is when hundreds of identical products are made, usually on a production
line. Mass production often involves the assembly of a number of sub-assemblies of individual
components. Parts may be bought from other companies. There is usually some automation of
tasks (eg by using Computer Numerical Control machines) and this enables a smaller number of
workers to output more products.
Continuous flow production is when many thousands of identical products are made. The
difference between this and mass production is that the production line is kept running 24 hours
a day, seven days a week to maximize production and eliminate the extra costs of starting and
stopping the production process. The process is highly automated and few workers are required.
37. Unit or Job type of production:
This type of production is most commonly observed when you produce
one single unit of a product. A typical example of the same will be tailored
outfits which are made just for you or a cake which is made just like you
want it.
Example of Unit type of production
It is one of the most common types of products used because it is
generally used by small businesses like restaurants, individual products
providers or individual services providers.
38. Batch type of Production:
It is one of the types of production most commonly used in consumer
durables, FMCG or other such industries where there are large variety of
products with variable demands. Batch production takes place in batches.
The manufacturer already knows the number of units he needs to a
manufacturer and they are manufactured in one batch.
So, if a manufacturer has the shortage of Product X and 100 units of this
product is consumed in one month, then the manufacturer can give orders
for batch production of 100 units of Product X.
Example: bakeries, textiles, furnitures
39. Features of Batch Production:
Production is done in batches
The total number of units required is decided before the
batch production starts
Once a batch production starts, stopping it midway may
cost a huge amount to the company.
Demand plays a major role in a batch production.
Example – seasonality of products.
40. • Advantages
• Since larger numbers are made, unit costs are lower.
• Offers the customer some variety and choice.
• Materials can be bought in bulk, so they are cheap.
• Production is flexible since different batches are made
• Workers specialize in one process
• Disadvantages
• Workers are often less motivated because the work becomes repetitive.
• Initial set-up costs are high.
• Expensive to move products around the workplace.
• Storage space will be needed to store raw materials.
41. Features of Mass Production:
Mass production is generally used to dole out huge volumes of the
product
It is used only if the product is standardized
Demand does not play a major role in a Mass production. However,
production capacity determines the success of a mass production.
Mass production requires huge initial investment and the working
capital demand is huge too.
42. • Advantages
• Labour costs are usually lower
• Materials can be purchased in large quantities, so they are often cheaper
• Large number of goods are produced
• Unit costs are relatively low
• Disadvantages
• Machinery is very expensive to buy, so production lines are very expensive
to set up.
• Workers are not very motivated, since their work is very repetitive.
• Not very flexible, as a production line is difficult to adapt.
• If one part of the line breaks, the whole production process will have to
stop until it is repaired.delay the production process
• Maintenance cost are very high
43. Features of Continuous production:
Majority of the work is done by machines rather than humans
Work is continuous in nature. Once production starts, it cannot be
stopped otherwise it will cause huge loss.
A very controlled environment is required for continuous production.
The above were the four types of production explained with examples
44. Job shop type of manufacturing:
Is a method resulting in a wide variety of products. These products are
made in small lot sizes with the ability to achieve maximum flexibility in
mind. They’re not specialized in any way so that customers can request
customizations to meet their specific needs.
Example:
A paint shop, a machine tool shop, a commercial printing shop, a
machining center, and other factories that create customized products in
small batches and offer customization
45. Project-based production:
Is one-of-a-kind production in which only one unit is manufactured at a time.
This type of production is often used for very large projects or for individual
customers.
• Advantages
• Unique, high quality products are made.
• Workers are often more motivated and take pride in their work.
• Products are made according to individual customer needs and improve
customer satisfaction
• Production is easy to organize
• Disadvantages
• Very labour intensive, so selling prices are usually higher.
• Production can take a long time and can have higher production cost, (e.g., if
special materials or tools are required)
46. DECISIONS MAKING IN OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT:
Break even analysis- profit or loss
Make or buy- cost effective
Outsourcing- cost cutting measure
48. Plant location: deciding the suitable location, area, place etc. where the
plant or the factory will start functioning.
Two important factors:
Geographic region
Specific site
Getting suitable raw material
Processing raw material to finished product
Finished product distribution
49. Factors of Plant location
Nearness to RM
Transport facility
Nearness to the market
Availability of labour
Availability of fuel and power
Availability of water
Climate conditions
Financial and other aids
Land
Community attitude
Security
Expansion facility
Ancillaries
50. Locational Economics:
The economics aspects of locations are considered to decide as to which of the possible
two or more preliminary sleeted location is overall best location.
Lowest production cost
Least distribution cost
Community facility
Community attitude
Housing facility
Cost of living
Community size
51. Other costs which decide the locational economy are those of:
Land
Building / rent
Equipment and machinery
Labor
Water, power and fuel
Raw material
Taxes
52. Locational economies:
Factors Location 1 Location 2
Cost of- 100000 90000
Land 1200000 1300000
Building 5000 6000
Water 15000 17000
Power 140000 120000
Labour
Fuel 40000 34000
Raw material etc. 140000 130000
Community facility Good Excellent
Community attitude All right Encouraging
Housing facility Very good Good
Cot of living High High Normal
Community size Small Medium
Which location is better?
53. Rate of Return (ROR) in %:
Total sales-Total expenses/Total investment
55. Plant layout:
Plant layout can be defined as a technique of locating machines,
processes and plant services within the factory so as to achieve the
greatest possible output of high quality at the lowest possible total cost
of manufacturing.
56. Objectives of good plant layout:
Material handling and transportation is minimized and efficiently controlled
Point of congestions are eliminated- line balancing
Work station are designed suitably
Worker movements are minimized
Waiting time of the semi diminished product is minimized
Working conditions are better and safer
Flexibility in changing product design and for future expansion
Utilization of cubic space
Plant maintenance is simpler
Less capital cost – increased productivity and better product quality
57. Principles of plant layout:
Integration
Minimum movements and material handling
Smooth and continuous flow
Cubic space utilization
Safe and improved environment
Flexibility
58. Types of layout:
Process layout- similar machines / operations
Product lay out- product flow line
Combination layout
Fixed position layout- product are fixed
59. Process layout:
It is also known as functional layout and characterized by keeping
similar machines or similar operations at one location. This type of
layout is generally employed for industries engaged in job order
production and non-repetitive kind of manufacturing activities.
Advantages:
Wide flexibility- work, equipment and workers
Better utilization of available equipment's
Comparatively less number of machines are needed- reduced capital
investment
Better product quality- better supervision
Workers in one section are not affected by the nature of the
operations carried out in another section.
60. Dis-advantages:
For the same amount of production, process layout needs more
space
Automatic material handling is extremely difficult
More material in process remains in queue for further operations
Completion of same product takes more time
Work in process inventory is large
Production control is difficult
Raw material has to travel larger distance for being finished goods
Required more inspection and efficient coordination
61. Product layout: it is also known as line type layout. It implies that various
operations on raw materials are performed in a sequence and the machines
are placed along the product flow line.
Machines are arranged in the sequence in which the raw material will be
operated upon. Suitable for continuous flow production.
Advantages:
Less space requirement for the same volume of production
Automatic material handling, lesser material movements, times and cost
Less- process inventory
Better coordination and simple PPC
Smooth and continuous work flow
Less skilled workers may served the purpose
62. Dis-advantages
Product oriented- product change require major change in layout
Machines are scattered along the line, more machines of each type
have to be purchased, keeping a few stand by
Less supervision hence, inspection become more difficult
It is difficult to increase production beyond the capacities of the
production line.
63. Combination layout:
Combination of both product and process layout
Fixed position layout:
The fixed layout permits a product to maintain at a particular place, and the needed resources
like manpower, machinery, material, equipment, etc. are transported to the product's location.
Advantages:
It is possible to assign one or more skilled worker to a project from start to finish in order
to ensure continuity of work
Involves less movement of material
Maximum flexibility of any type of change
A number of quite different projects can be taken with the same layout.
Dis-advantages:
It involves a low content of work in progress
Less utilization of labor and equipment
Involves high equipment handling cost
