The Goal What is the goal of a company? The goal is to make money by providing goods or services.
To do that, we need to be effective and efficient. What is the difference?
Efficient & Effec@ve Efficiency: Doing things with the least use of resources
Effectiveness: Doing the right thing at the right time. Value = Quality / $
What is Opera@ons Management? “The design, operation, and improvement of the systems that create and deliver the firm’s primary products and services.” p. 6. Operations research / management science
Applying quantitative methods to decision making
Industrial Engineering Engineering discipline, includes human factors and ergonomics.
OM is a field of management that may use some tools from OR/MS and IE.
Why OM is the most important area Marketing tells the world about our products Sales gets people to buy our product Finance makes sure we have the money to operate Accounting keeps track of where money comes from and goes
Management keeps people on task, sets strategy and vision I/S makes sure everyone has the information they need to do their jobs.
Operations actually makes the thing we sell. Without operations, you can’t have a company.
Why Do You Care? Satisfying Customers depends on Operations You must understand and work in or with Operations:
Finance: Depr, Cash Flow, Make vs. Buy Acctg: Cost estimates, Overhead, Inv valuation Mktg/Sales: What can be done? HR: job descr, standards, incentives IS: production, shipping, billing, receiving
Goizueta at Coke: What do you do to sell more Coca-‐Cola? How do you support the mission?
Opera@ons as Service Everybody’s in service
Core services: done correctly, customized to their needs, delivered on time, priced competitively
Value-‐added services: make customers’ jobs or lives Information on product – data, specs Sales support – demo product trying to sell Problem solving – help internal, external customer Field support – replace parts quickly

Some questions where I might ask you to explain where you have seen an idea being used, or where it might work well.
In that case, what do you think? Or have you seen? Practice problems are supposed to be good preparation I suggest you do them, and then look at the solutions I’ve given you.
“Case Studies” Not a major source of your grade Somewhat detailed, relatively recent example of our concepts at work
Read or watch the material, and offer you’re your responses
Lectures It’s my personal opinion that if I’m going to teach you, I have to explain it in my own words, verbally. PC/Mac: You can watch the ppt with audio shows like this one, and use the Flash viewer
iPhone/iPad: Download the mp3 files and listen to them, and look along at the PDF files of the lectures
You can read transcripts of the lectures You can ignore the PPTs altogether
But not everything in the lectures is in the book So you might want to at least look through them
Case Study Tell me about a way you think a company could improve its operations (either its effectiveness or efficiency). This must be based on a real company It could be one you work at, your spouse, your friend, your parent, your child, or just one you’ve observed as a customer
It does not have to have data, but if you can ballpark things as best as possible, that is better than nothing
Done in groups, due at the end of the semester You will need to make a PPT with audio presentation
Benihana Case Study Read the HBSP case. Tell me how Benihana’s operational decisions contributed, both positively and negatively, to their success
How long? Let say 3–4 pages-‐ish.
