DEFINITIONS, PROCESS CONSIDERATIONS, AND EXAMPLES OF COMPETITIVE PRIORITIES
FLEXIBILITY
Definition
Process Considerations
Example
7. Customization
Satisfying the unique needs of each customer by changing service or products designs
Low volume, close customer contact, and easily reconfigured
Ritz Carlton
8. Variety
Handling a wide assortment of services or products efficiently
Capable of larger volumes than processes supporting customization
Amazon.com
9. Volume flexibility
Accelerating or decelerating the rate of production of service or products quickly to handle large fluctuations in demand
Processes must be designed for excess capacity

Productivity Improvement EXAMPLE 1.1 Calculate the productivity for the following operations:
a. Three employees process 600 insurance policies in a week. They work 8 hours per day, 5 days per week.
SOLUTION Policies processed a. Labor productivity = Employee hours 600 policies = = 5 policies/hour (3 employees)(40 hours/employee)

Productivity Improvement EXAMPLE 1.1 Calculate the productivity for the following operations:
b. A team of workers makes 400 units of a product, which is sold in the market for $10 each. The accounting department reports that for this job the actual costs are $400 for labor, $1,000 for materials, and $300 for overhead. SOLUTION Value of output a. Multifactor productivity = Labor cost + Materials cost + Overhead cost =
(400 units)($10/unit) $4,000 = = 2.35 $400 + $1,000 + $300 $1,700

Solved Problem 1 Student tuition at Boehring University is $150 per semester credit hour. The state supplements school revenue by $100 per semester credit hour. Average class size for a typical 3-credit course is 50 students. Labor costs are $4,000 per class, material costs are $20 per student per class, and overhead costs are $25,000 per class. a. What is the multifactor productivity ratio for this course process? b. If instructors work an average of 14 hours per week for 16 weeks for each 3-credit class of 50 students, what is the labor productivity ratio?

1 – 26
Solved Problem 1 SOLUTION a. Multifactor productivity is the ratio of the value of output to the value of input resources. Value of output =
50 student class
3 credit hours student
$150 tuition + $100 state support credit hour
= $37,500/class Value of inputs = Labor + Materials + Overhead = $4,000 + ($20/student 50 students/class) + $25,000 = $30,000/class
Multifactor productivity = Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall.
Output Input
=
$37,500/class = 1.25 $30,000/class 1 – 27
Solved Problem 1 SOLUTION b. Labor productivity is the ratio of the value of output to labor hours. The value of output is the same as in part (a), or $45,000, so
Labor hours of input =
14 hours week
16 weeks class
= 224 hours/class Labor productivity =
Output $45,000/class = Input 224 hours/class
= $200.89/hour

Solved Problem 2 Natalie Attire makes fashionable garments. During a particular week employees worked 360 hours to produce a batch of 132 garments, of which 52 were ―seconds‖ (meaning that they were flawed). Seconds are sold for $90 each at Attire’s Factory Outlet Store. The remaining 80 garments are sold to retail distribution at $200 each. What is the labor productivity ratio of this manufacturing process?

1 – 29
Solved Problem 2 SOLUTION Value of output = (52 defective 90/defective) + (80 garments 200/garment) = $20,680 Labor hours of input = 360 hours Output $20,680 Labor productivity = = Input 360 hours = $57.44 in sales per hour
