OPERATIONAL
The main goal is to maximize all instruments that support the production process & carry
out the input to output transformation process effectively and efficiently. PRODUCTION
SYSTEM. Inputs: main sources , and other sources needed to support the entire production
process. Output : in the form of finished goods, semi-finished goods, or a service.
INPUT
(energi, sdm, modal, PROSES OUTPUT
material. Informasi, Transformasi Barang/jasa
manajemen)
Scope:
1. Production system planning (includes product planning, factory location planning, factory
layout planning, work environment planning, production standards planning. The aim is to
ensure that production results are in line with consumer expectations. Starting from quality,
price and profits)
2. Production control system ( aspects related to controlling production plans with job
realities. including control of production processes, materials, labor, costs, quality and
maintenance)
3. Aspects of production information systems (internal information (organizational structure),
customers (products on an order basis) and markets)
Characteristics of Operational Management. In the opinion of Zulian Yamit (2003), in
operational management there are 3 characteristics or characteristics, namely:
1. Has a goal, namely producing goods and services.
2. Has production activities that are in the process of transformation.
3. There is a mechanism that controls operational processes.
Why is m.opr important? Operations management is very important in achieving company
goals, namely profit and business sustainability. This is related to 3 important elements, namely
input, process, output . And it is very closely related to the effectiveness and efficiency of an
existing business. // operational processes are quite crucial in a business. Believe it or not, a
company will not make a profit without having good operational processes. The main reason is
that mobile operations cover almost all aspects of the company. So, companies will not be able
to make better business decisions if they do not work optimally according to operational
management
Some of the main tasks of the Operations Manager in the production process are:
1. Planning the quality and quantity of raw materials in the production process;
2. Determine and arrange the location of the factory layout
3. Determine and organize the efficient location of inventory warehouses and machine
equipment to save time in mobilization;
4. Perform maintenance on factory equipment to ensure operational reliability and continuity;
5. Creating quality and unique product strategies to be able to compete in the market cost-
effectively;
6. Prepare efficient work schedules by evaluating labor costs. (arrange schedules if there is
additional labor both in the field and in the office area, and reduce overtime costs)
7. Responsible for the sustainability of production results both in terms of quality and quantity.
10 Operational Management decisions J ay Heizer and Barry Render (2011)
1. Design of goods and services : the design of goods and services determines most of the
transformation processes that will be carried out . Cost, quality and human resource decisions
depend on design decisions.
2. Quality management: customer expectations for quality must be set, regulations and
procedures implemented to identify and achieve these quality standards.
3. Process and capacity design: the process decisions taken make management take
commitments in terms of technology, quality, human resource users and specific maintenance .
These expenditure and capital commitments will determine the basic cost structure of a company.
4. Location strategy : the location decisions of manufacturing and service organizations determine
the success of the company.
5. Layout strategy: raw material flow , required capacity, employee levels, technology decisions
and inventory needs influence the layout .
6. Human resources and job design: people are an integral and expensive part of the overall
system design. Therefore , the quality of the work environment provided, the talents and skills
required, and wages must be clearly defined.
7. Supply chain management: these decisions explain what to make and what to buy.
8. Inventory, planning, raw material requirements , and JIT ( just in time ): inventory
decisions can be optimized only if customer satisfaction, supplier satisfaction, production planning
and human resources are considered.
9. Medium-term and short-term scheduling: a workable and efficient production schedule must
be developed.
10. Maintenance/maintenance: decisions must be made on the desired level of reliability and
stability.
Product quality: Kotler and Armstrong (2012), product quality is the ability of a product to
perform its function, this includes overall durability, reliability, accuracy, ease of operation,
and product repair, as well as other product attributes. 7 quality control tools:
1. Check sheet (data collection during the production process)
2. Pareto diagram (bar graph that shows problems in order of the number of events)
3. Cause & effect diagram (to identify and show the relationship between cause and effect in
order to find the root cause of a problem)
4. Histogram (shows data distribution visually)
5. Control chart (a form of graph used to monitor the stability of a process)
6. Scatter diagram (testing how strong the relationship is between 2 variables and determining the type of
relationship)
7. Stratification (dividing and grouping data into smaller categories that have the same characteristics)
How to reduce quality defects
1. Inspection before production . The QC department must ensure that the main raw materials for
making products are the best and selected materials. Followed by control of the machines used as
manufacturing tools.
2. Inspection during production. When running a production machine, the QC must carry out an
inspection by taking random sampling from the machine.
3. Test the product after production. Usually each company has its own way of determining the
suitability of a product.
MRP/Material Requirement Planning : inventory control and planning method to ensure raw
materials are always available. The purpose of the MRP system is to control inventory levels,
determine item priorities, and plan the capacity that will be assigned to the production
system. In general, the objectives of inventory management using the MRP system are no
different from other systems, namely:
1. improve service to customers,
2. minimize investment in inventory, and
3. maximize operational efficiency
The MRP philosophy is to "provide" the required components and materials at the right
quantity, time and place. Where MRP is also closely related to scheduling priorities. Because
the system will order goods exactly when they are needed and prevent two dates from being
missed.
Supply Chain: a coordinated network of companies that work together to create & deliver a
product to the end user/consumer. Managed products, information, finance . // network of
all related elements (i.e. company, resources, employees, technology and activities) and
those involved directly or indirectly in the manufacture and sale of a finished product. SCM is
simply a sequential activity from
procuring resources (raw materials)
from suppliers (suppliers) to factories
(manufacturing), then sending them
to final consumers.
Location planning : The location must have or provide profitable options from a number of
existing accesses. The more strategic the location of a company's location, the greater the
opportunity for profits to be obtained. CORE: increase profits by reducing production costs
and achieving a wider market share. because location can also affect tax costs, wages, raw
material costs and rent.
A good factory location by itself will contribute a lot to efforts to minimize costs. A good
factory location will result in relatively small transportation costs, production costs and
distribution costs for finished goods.
Primary Factors in Factory Location Selection. What is meant by main factors in this context
are factors that are definitely needed by all types of industry. The main factors included are:
a) Proximity to the Raw Material Source Location
b) Proximity to the Company's Product Market Locationc) Availability of Transportation
Facilitiesd) Availability of Labore) Availability of Power Generation
Secondary factors : additional factors if needed. Some factors that are included in the non-
main factors include: (factors outside the production process. Focus on the primary priorities
first because we'll never know what might happen next )
a) Future plans for the factory
b) Possible company expansion c) Possible expansion of the city ) Service facilities for
machines and production equipment
g) Housing and other facilities h) Land and building costs, local government regulations, local
community attitudes. Climate , land conditions, environmental conditions
Six sigma: a management tool that is very focused on quality control by exploring the company's
production system as a whole. It aims to eliminate production defects, reduce product
manufacturing time, and eliminate costs.
Six sigma is called a strategy, a discipline, and a tool – a strategy for achieving and
supporting business success that is focused on increased customer satisfaction . It is called a
scientific discipline because it follows a formal model, namely DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze,
Improve, Control). And it is called a tool because it is used in conjunction with others such as
Pareto charts and histograms . CORE CONCEPT : Prioritizing customers, management based on
factual data, focus on process, management and improvement. Unlimited collaboration. Always
pursue perfection.
Define : record everything that is known about the process to be improved. Clarify existing facts
and determine goals and form a team that will carry out the project
Measure : this phase is about data collection. the project team decides what to measure and
how to measure it.
Analyze : The data collected in the measure phase is analyzed and the root causes of the
problems investigated at this stage. This is done to find the cause of the problem and the cause
of the defect.
Improve : Identify creative solutions to fix and prevent problems in the process. Use
brainstorming techniques such as Six Hats or Random Word.
Advantages of 6sigma : can be applied in all fields. Focus on Product Process People. Impact on
human investment. Impact on costs. Data processing using a statistical approach (real data).
Control : Monitor the improvements made to ensure continued success. Create a control plan.
