#
Operations management (OM)
design, operation, and improvement of the
systems that create and deliver the firm’s
primary products and services
#
Scope of Operations Management
#
Steps in Forecasting
1. Determine the purpose of the forecast
#
• whether to produce a good or service itself or outsource
• Factors to consider:
– Available capacity
– Quality considerations
– Cost
– Risks
#
• Things that can be done to enhance capacity management:
– Design flexibility into systems
#
Facility Layout Design
Basic Objective
Facilitate a smooth flow of work, material, and information
through the system
Supporting objectives
1. Facilitate product or service quality
2. Use workers and space efficiently
3. Avoid bottlenecks
4. Minimize material handling costs
5. Eliminate unnecessary movement of workers or material
6. Minimize production time or customer service time
7. Design for safety
#
Scheduling
• Scheduling:
– Establishing the timing of the use of equipment,
facilities and human activities in an organization
• Effective scheduling can yield
• Cost savings
• Increases in productivity
• Other benefits
#
Types of Inventory
• Raw materials and purchased parts
• Work-in-process (WIP)
• Finished goods inventories or merchandise
• Tools and supplies
• Maintenance and repairs (MRO) inventory
• Goods-in-transit to warehouses or customers (pipeline
inventory)
#
Inventory Cost
Holding (carrying) costs
Cost to carry an item in inventory for a length of time, usually a
year
Ordering costs
Costs of ordering and receiving inventory
Setup costs
The costs involved in preparing equipment for a job
Analogous to ordering costs
Shortage costs
Costs resulting when demand exceeds the supply of inventory;
often unrealized profit per unit
#
Determinants of Quality
• Quality of design
– Intention of designers to include or exclude features in a product or
service
• Quality of conformance
– The degree to which goods or services conform to the intent of the
designers
• Ease-of-Use and user instructions
– Increase the likelihood that a product will be used for its intended
purpose and in such a way that it will continue to function properly and
safely
• After-the-sale service
– Taking care of issues and problems that arise after the sale
#
Total Quality Management (TQM)
Approach
1. Find out what the customer wants
2. Design a product or service that meets or exceeds
customer wants
3. Design processes that facilitate doing the job right the
first time
4. Keep track of results
5. Extend these concepts throughout the supply chain

#
Material Requirement Planning (MRP)
• A computer-based information system that translates
master schedule requirements for end items into time-
phased requirements for subassemblies, components,
and raw materials.
3. When is it needed?
#
Independent & dependent demand
Dependent demand: Demand for items that are sub-assemblies or
component parts to be used in production of finished goods.
Once the independent demand is known, the dependent demand can be
determined.

Zara
• http://www.inditex.cn/about-us/our-brands/zara
#
In 2012, Inditex, reported total sales of US$20.7 billion, with Zara
representing a powerful 66 percent, or US$13.6 billion, of that total.
#
Zara
• Open the first store in the Spanish coastal city of A Coruña in 1975.
• its core values, expressed simply in the same four key words that
define all our stores: beauty, clarity, functionality and sustainability.
#
Zara
• Further enhancing the quality of our customer service, Zara stores
also include Radio Frequency Identification Technology (RFID), using
cutting-edge systems to track the location of garments instantly and
making those most in demand rapidly available to customers.
#
Zara – fast fashion
• produces around 450 million items a year.
#
Zara - Just in Time production
• relies on keeping a significant amount of its production in-house and
making sure that its own factories reserve 85 percent of their capacity
for in-season adjustments, which allows the organization to be
flexible in the amount, frequency, and variety of new products to be
launched.
• The wages of these European workers are higher than those of their
developing-world counterparts.
#
Zara – Just In Time Production
• Postponed manufacture. only locks in 50 to 60 percent of its line by
the start of the season, up to 50 percent of its clothes are designed
and manufactured smack in the middle of the season.If a certain style
or design becomes the new must-have on the street, Zara gets to
work.
#
Zara – Just In Time Production
• Zara also has extra capacity on hand to respond to demand as it
develops and changes. For example, it operates typically 4.5 days per
week around the clock on full capacity, leaving some flexibility for
extra shifts and temporary labor to be added when needed.
#
Zara – Just In Time Production
• Zara’s business strategy allows the company to sell more items at full
price because of the sense of scarcity and exclusiveness the company
exudes.
• Zara makes 85 percent of the full price on its clothes, while the
industry average is 60 to 70 percent. Unsold items account for less
than 10 percent of its stock, compared with an industry average of 17
to 20 percent.
• This is also the reason why Zara can afford the extra labor
and shipping costs needed to accommodate and satisfy changes in
customer demand.
•
#
Zara – Lean Inventory Management
• Inventory optimization models are implement to determine the
quantity delivered to every retail stores via shipments that go out
twice every week. The stock delivered is strictly limited, ensuring that
each store only receives just want they need.
• This quick in-season turnaround allows Zara to ship more often and in
smaller batches. If the design does not sell well, little harm is done.
• The batch is small, so there’s not a ton of unsold inventory to get rid
of.
#
Zara – Centralized order fulfillment
• Zara sticks to a deep, predictable and fast rhythm, based around rapid
deliveries to stores.
#
Zara – Solid Distribution Network
• Zara’s strong distribution network enables the company to deliver
goods to its European stores within 24 hours, and to its American and
Asian outlets in less than 40 hours.

• There are also people, who still can’t afford buying Zara pieces, yet
strive to look trendy and cool in the streets. Well, you still can wear
Zara-worthy pieces, following the fab fashion updates from Lefties,
the younger sister brand of Zara and the low-cost option (which retail
at almost half the prices of Zara’s pieces. ) in the famous Spanish
Inditex group.
