  1. Chapter 2 The strategic role and objectives of operations Source: Honda Motor Company

  2. The four-stage model of operations contribution A model devised by Hayes and Wheelwright that categorizes the degree to which operations management has a positive influence on overall strategy. Quality There are many different approaches to defining this. We define it as consistent conformance to customers’ expectations. Speed The elapsed time between customers requesting products or services and receiving them. Key Terms Test

  3. Dependability Delivering, or making available, products or services when they were promised to the customer. Flexibility The degree to which an operation’s process can change what it does, how it is doing it, or when it is doing it. Product/service flexibility The operation’s ability to introduce new or modified products and services. Key Terms Test

  4. Mix flexibility The operation’s ability to produce a wide range of products and services. Volume flexibility The operation’s ability to change its level of output or activity to produce different quantities or volumes of products and services over time. Delivery flexibility The operation’s ability to change the timing of the delivery of its services or products. Key Terms Test

  5. Mass customization The ability to produce products or services in high volume, yet vary their specification to the needs of individual customers or types of customer. Agility The ability of an operation to respond quickly and at low cost as market requirements change. Productivity The ratio of what is produced by an operation or process to what is required to produce it, that is, the output from the operation divided by the input to the operation. Key Terms Test
