The Americans and the Japanese decided to engage in a competitive boat race.
Both teams practiced hard and long to reach their peak performance.
On the big day they felt they were ready
The Japanese won by a mile.
Afterwards the American team was discouraged by the loss. Morale sagged.
Corporate management decided that the reason for the crushing defeat had to be found, so a consulting firm was hired to investigate the problem and recommend corrective action
The consultants finding:
The Japanese team had eight people rowing and one person steering;
the American team had one person rowing and eight people steering..
After a year of study and millions spent analyzing the problem,
the consultant firm concluded that too many people were steering and not enough were rowing on the American team
So as race day neared again the following year, the American team’s management structure was completely reorganized.
Four steering managers, three area steering managers, and a new performance review system for the person rowing the boat to provide work incentive.
The next year, the Japanese won by TWO miles
The new structure:
Humiliated, the American corporation laid off the rower for poor performance and gave the managers a bonus for discovering the problem.

1. Facility location
a. Near resourcesb. Near markets
2. Facility layout
a. For services: customer friendlyb. For manufacturing
- customer focused work cells - away from assembly lines
c. Outsourcing
3. Quality Control
a. Measurement of products and services against set requirements
b. Often at the end of the linec. Now quality becomes everyone’s
concern

a. leadershipb. Strategic planningc. Customer and market focusd. Information and analysise. Human resource focusf. Process managementg. Business results
2. ISO 9000- Sets global measures for the quality of
individual products- Provides a common denominator of
business quality accepted around the world
3. ISO 14000- Concerns managing an
organization’s environmental impact
- Requires targets, policies and reviews of environmental programs
1. Measuring quality- Productivity strong in manufacturing, but
weak in services- Quality versus quantity issues
2. Technological improvements- ATMs improve banking- Universal Price Codes make checkout faster- Computerized airline reservations, meal
selection, and luggage handling (finger printing foreigners)- Interactive services from banks,
stockbrokers, travel agents
1. Form Utility - the value added by the creation of finished
goods and services
2. Types of Production Processes a. Process manufacturing
- physically or chemically changing materials
- making steel, or cooking eggsb. Assembly process
-putting together components - TV, cars

2. Types of Production Processes a. Continuous
1) one long production run turns out finished goods2) like an assembly line
b. Intermittent1) short production runs where machines are changed to make different products2) custom made furniture3) easier to respond to customer requests.
1. Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) a. Uses sales forecasts to make sure
required parts are available when neededb. Now outdated
2. MRPII – Manufacturing resource planninga. involved more than just materialsb. also has been updated
3. ERP Enterprise resource planninga. Links multiple firms.b. Monitors quality and satisfaction as it’s happening.c. IT has had a major influence

1. Just in time inventory control (JIT)a. Parts and supplies are delivered just as needed in the production processb. Avoids storage charges and damages
2. Internet purchasinga. Reduces purchasing costsb. 3 types
1) trading exchange platforms - assist companies in several
markets2) industry-sponsored exchanges3) Net market makers-host electronic marketplaces
3. Flexible Manufacturinga. Designing machines to do multiple tasksb. Ford makes both V-8 and V-6 engines
4. Lean Manufacturinga. Increasing capacity to produce high-
quality goods while decreasing need for resources
b. Workers perform a cluster of tasks, not one assembly line job.5. Mass customization
- Flexible machines can produce a good as fast as mass-produced goods once could.
6. Competing in Timea. Being as fast or faster than all competition in responding to customer want and needsb. Essential in global marketplace
7. CAD and CAMa. CAD – 3D designingb. CAM – direct computer involvement in
production processc. CIM Computer Integrated
Manufacturing1) software that unites CAD and
CAM2) currently expensive3) cuts 80% of the time needed to program machines to make parts

manufacturingThe Daimler-Chrysler plant in Fenton, MO receives shipments about every 4 hours from its seat supplier, and literally hundreds of other parts continually. There is virtually no storage.
Volvo uses modular construction in their plants, where workers are grouped into autonomous teams working on mobile assembly platforms that carry the cars to the workers. Each worker has been trained to do a whole cluster of tasks. This system enabled Volvo to build quality cars with fewer workers in more space efficient plants and has reduced the number of hours to assemble a car.Because of the increases competition from its Japanese counter-parts Xerox implemented a program designed to cut its new product development time in half
Levis markets a service which enables any customer to order a custom-made pair of jeans from any retailer at any time. The jeans cost $10 more than an “off-the-rack” pair.
At Dynalink Industries, 15 machines are used to make, test and package component parts for stereo and quadraphonic sound systems. The parts are never touched by human hands.
