Why Study OM? 1. OM is one of three major functions (operations, finance & marketing) of any organization, we want to study how people organize themselves for productive enterprise 2. We want (and need) to know how goods and services are produced 3. We want to understand what operations managers do 4. OM is such a costly part of an organization 1 -9

Productivity Challenge Productivity is the ratio of outputs (goods and services) divided by the inputs (resources such as labor and capital) The objective is to improve productivity! Important Note! Production is a measure of output only and not a measure of efficiency © 2011 Pearson Education 1 - 31
The Economic System Inputs Transformation Outputs Labor, capital, management The U. S. economic system transforms inputs to outputs at about an annual 2. 5% increase in productivity per year. The productivity increase is the result of a mix of capital (38% of 2. 5%), labor (10% of 2. 5%), and management (52% of 2. 5%).
