Basic Management Functions
Ten Critical Decisions
Ten Decision Areas
1. Design of goods and services
2. Managing quality
3. Process and capacity
design
4. Location strategy
5. Layout strategy
6. Human resources and
job design
7. Supply-chain
management
8. Inventory, MRP, JIT
9. Scheduling
10. Maintenance
The Critical Decisions
1. Design of goods and services
– What good or service should we offer?
– How should we design these products and
services?
2. Managing quality
– How do we define quality?
– Who is responsible for quality?
The Critical Decisions
3. Process and capacity design
– What process and what capacity will these
products require?
– What equipment and technology is
necessary for these processes?
4. Location strategy
– Where should we put the facility?
– On what criteria should we base the
location decision?
The Critical Decisions
5. Layout strategy
– How should we arrange the facility?
– How large must the facility be to meet our
plan?
6. Human resources and job design
– How do we provide a reasonable work
environment?
– How much can we expect our employees to
produce?
The Critical Decisions
7. Supply-chain management
– Should we make or buy this component?
– Who should be our suppliers and how can we
integrate them into our strategy?
8. Inventory, material requirements planning,
and JIT
– How much inventory of each item should we
have?
– When do we re-order?
The Critical Decisions
9. Intermediate and short–term scheduling
– Are we better off keeping people on the
payroll during slowdowns?
– Which jobs do we perform next?
10. Maintenance
– How do we build reliability into our
processes?
– Who is responsible for maintenance?
Characteristics of Goods
 Tangible product
 Consistent product
definition
 Production usually
separate from
consumption
 Can be inventoried
 Low customer
interaction
Characteristics of Service
 Intangible product
 Produced and consumed at
same time
 Often unique
 High customer interaction
 Inconsistent product
definition
 Often knowledge-based
 Frequently dispersed
New Trends in OM
• Global focus
• Environmentally sensitive production
• Rapid product development
• Empowered employees
• Supply-chain partnering
• Just-in-time performance
