For example, if we improve customer service problem solving by cross-training personnel to deal with a wider-range of problems, they may become less efficient at dealing with commonly occurring problems.

For example, if we reduce costs by reducing product quality inspections, we might reduce product quality.

Order Qualifiers and WinnersDefinedOrder qualifiers are the basic criteria that permit the firm’s products to be considered as candidates for purchase by customers

Order winners are the criteria that differentiate the products and services of one firm from another

Service Breakthroughs

A brand name car can be an “order qualifier”

Repair services can be “order winners” Examples: Warranty, Roadside Assistance, Leases, etc.

Kaplan and Norton’s Generic Strategy Map In the Kaplan and Norton’s Generic

Strategy Map, under the Financial Perspective, the Productivity Strategy is generally made up from two components:

1. Improve cost structure: Lower direct and indirect costs

2. Increase asset utilization: Reduce working and fixed capital

Steps in Developing a Manufacturing Strategy

1. Segment the market according to the product group

2. Identify product requirements, demand patterns, and profit margins of each group

3. Determine order qualifiers and winners for each group

4. Convert order winners into specific performance requirements

Service Strategy Capacity CapabilitiesProcess-based

Capacities that transforms material or information and provide advantages on dimensions of cost and quality

Systems-based Capacities that are broad-based involving the

entire operating system and provide advantages of short lead times and customize on demand

Organization-based Capacities that are difficult to replicate and

provide abilities to master new technologies

What is Productivity?Defined

Productivity is a common measure on how well resources are being used. In the broadest sense, it can be defined as the following ratio:

Outputs Inputs

Page 17: Operations strategy & competitiveness

17

Total Measure ProductivityTotal Measure Productivity = Outputs

Inputs

or = Goods and services produced

All resources used

Page 18: Operations strategy & competitiveness

18

Partial Measure Productivity

Partial measures of productivity =

Output or Output or Output or Output Labor Capital Materials

Energy

Page 19: Operations strategy & competitiveness

19

Multifactor Measure Productivity

Multifactor measures of productivity =

Output . Labor + Capital + Energy

or

Output . Labor + Capital + Materials

Example of Productivity MeasurementYou have just determined that your

service employees have used a total of 2400 hours of labor this week to process 560 insurance forms. Last week the same crew used only 2000 hours of labor to process 480 forms.

Which productivity measure should be used?

Answer: Could be classified as a Total Measure or Partial Measure.

Is productivity increasing or decreasing?

Answer: Last week’s productivity = 480/2000 = 0.24, and this week’s productivity is = 560/2400 = 0.23. So, productivity is decreasing slightly.
