Decline in Manufacturing JobsDecline in Manufacturing Jobs
Productivity Increasing productivity allows companies to
maintain or increase their output using fewer workers
Outsourcing Some manufacturing work has been outsourced
to more productive companies
1-18
Why Manufacturing MattersWhy Manufacturing Matters
Over 18 million workers in manufacturing jobs
Accounts for over 70% of value of U.S. exports
Average full-time compensation about 20% higher than average of all workers
Manufacturing workers more likely to have benefits
Productivity growth in manufacturing in the last 5 years is more than double U.S. economy
1-19
Why Manufacturing MattersWhy Manufacturing Matters
More than half of the total R&D performed is in the manufacturing industries
Manufacturing workers in California earn an average of about $25,000 more a year than service workers
When a California manufacturing job is lost, an average of 2.5 service jobs are lost
1-20
Challenges of Managing Challenges of Managing ServicesServices
Service jobs are often less structured than manufacturing jobs
Customer contact is higher Worker skill levels are lower Services hire many low-skill, entry-level workers Employee turnover is higher Input variability is higher Service performance can be affected by worker’s
personal factors

What are the pros and cons of models?
Tradeoffs

Models Are BeneficialModels Are Beneficial
Easy to use, less expensive Require users to organize Increase understanding of the problem Enable “what if” questions Consistent tool for evaluation and
standardized format Power of mathematics
1-31
Limitations of ModelsLimitations of Models
Quantitative information may be emphasized over qualitative
Models may be incorrectly applied and results misinterpreted
Nonqualified users may not comprehend the rules on how to use the model
Use of models does not guarantee good decisions

Quantitative ApproachesQuantitative Approaches
• Linear programming
• Queuing Techniques
• Inventory models
• Project models
• Statistical models
