Why Some Organizations Fail
Neglecting operations strategy.
Failing to take advantage of strengths and opportunities, and/or failing to recognize competitive threats.
Putting too much emphasis on short-term financial performance at the expense of research and development.
Placing too much emphasis on product and service design and not enough on process design and improvement.
Neglecting investments in capital and human resources.
Failing to establish good internal communications and cooperation among different functional areas.
Failing to consider customer needs.

Wal-Mart Delivery Service Says to Amazon: 'Bring It'
wsj.com 10/19/2012
In its latest bid to take on Amazon.com this holiday season, Wal-Mart is promising same-day delivery in some cities for orders placed online. Called Wal-Mart To Go, the service costs $10 regardless of the size of the order.
The products will be shipped from the company's stores, not from a warehouse or distribution center. Wal-Mart is betting that its network of thousands of stores, combined with an improved online presence can help it compete head to head with Amazon, which has increasingly stressed fast, free or low-cost deliveries.
UPS will pick up the goods and deliver them to customers
Nearly half of Wal-Mart's online sales now come from purchases customers make online and pick up at a store, "We have a unique advantage because we have the national footprint of stores combined with our online site that enable programs like site to store, pay with cash or pick up today,"

Focus on narrow product lines or limited services to achieve higher quality
Responsiveness (time-based strategies)
Strategies that focus on the reduction of time needed to accomplish tasks
Differentiation: Variety
Focus on customization
Differentiation: Newness
Focus on innovation to create new products or services
Differentiation: Service
Focus on various aspects of service (e.g., helpful, reliable, etc)
Differentiation: Quality

MIS 373: Basic Operations Management
15
Operations strategy
The organizational strategy provides the overall direction for the organization. It is broad in scope, covering the entire organization.
Operations strategy is narrower in scope, dealing primarily with the operations aspect of the organization. Operations strategy relates to products, processes, methods, operating resources, quality, costs, lead times, and scheduling.
In order for operations strategy to be truly effective, it is important to link it to organization strategy

Steps in strategy formulation
Link strategy directly to the organization's mission or vision statement.
Assess strengths, weaknesses, threats and opportunities, and identify core competencies.
Core competencies: The special attributes or abilities that give an organization a competitive edge
Identify order winners and order qualifiers.
Order winners: Characteristics of an organizations goods or services that cause it to be perceived as better than the competition
Order qualifiers: Characteristics that customers perceive as minimum standards of acceptability for a product or service to be considered as a potential for purchase
Select one or two strategies (e.g., low cost, speed, customer service) to focus on.

Productivity
Productivity
A measure of the effective use of resources, usually expressed as the ratio of output to input
Productivity measures are useful for
Tracking an operating units performance over time
Judging the performance of an entire industry or country

wsj.com 1/12/2012
The Factory Floor Has a Ceiling on Job Creation
Factories have been producing more with fewer workers.
Output for each hour of work, or productivity, is up an extraordinary 40% as factories have adopted new technologies and production processes.
Why does Productivity Matters?
Brynjolfsson, E., and Hitt, L. M. 1998. Beyond the productivity paradox. Communications of the ACM 41(8) 4955.
Productivity growth determines our living standards and the wealth of nations. This is because the amount a nation can consume is ultimately closely tied to what it produces.
By the same token, the success of a business generally depends on its ability to deliver more real value for consumers without using more labor, capital, or other inputs.

Exercise
Units produced: 5,000
Standard price:$30/unit
Labor input: 500 hours
Cost of labor: $25/hour
Cost of materials: $5,000
Cost of overhead: 2x labor cost
What is the implication of an unitless measure of productivity?
Hint:
The key of this calculation is to convert all the elements to their dollar values.
Whats the dollar value of the
output / labor / material / overhead?
Productivity Growth
Example: Labor productivity on the ABC assembly line was 25 units per hour in 2009. In 2010, labor productivity was 23 units per hour. What was the productivity growth from 2009 to 2010?
MIS 373: Basic Operations Management
Productivity Growth = Current productivity Pervious productivity 100%Pervious productivity
Productivity Growth = 23 25 100%= 8%25

Service Sector Productivity
Service sector productivity is difficult to measure and manage because
It involves intellectual activities
It has a high degree of variability
Measurement Difficulties
Retailors
Quality Versus Quantity
Nurses

Health care Productivity
Kocher, Robert, and Nikhil R. Sahni. "Rethinking health care labor." New England Journal of Medicine 365.15 (2011): 1370-1372.
Of the $2.6 trillion spent in 2010 on health care in the United States, 56% consisted of wages for health care workers.
the output is the volume of activity including all encounters, tests, treatments, and surgeries per unit of cost
Health care Productivity

NPR 4/30/13 When It Comes To Productivity, Technology Can Hurt And Help
With instant messages buzzing, emails pinging and texts ringing, how can employers increase productivity in the workplace? Software companies are tackling the problem, tracking employees' computer time to find ways to improve their efficiency.
Desk workers, creative workers,

Productivity Paradox

MIS 373: Basic Operations Management
41
IT investment does not appear to have a strong impact on productivity.
Explanations for the Paradox
Mismeasurement of outputs and inputs,
ATMs reduce the number of checks banks process so, by some measures, banking output and productivity decrease.
The increases in convenience ATMs have created go uncounted in conventional productivity metrics, while their costs are counted.
Lags due to learning and adjustment
Improving Productivity
Develop productivity measures for all operations
Determine critical (bottleneck) operations
Develop methods/technologies for productivity improvements
Establish reasonable goals
Make it clear that management supports and encourages productivity improvement
Measure and publicize improvements
Dont confuse productivity with efficiency
MIS 373: Basic Operations Management

Key Points
Competitive pressure often means that business organizations must frequently assess their competitors' strengths and weaknesses, as well as their own, to remain competitive.
Strategy formulation is critical because strategies provide direction for the organization, so they can play a role in the success or failure of a business organization.
Functional strategies and supply chain strategies need to be aligned with the goals and strategies of the overall organization.
The three primary business strategies are low cost, responsiveness, and differentiation.
Productivity is a key factor in the cost of goods and services. Increases in productivity can become a competitive advantage.
