Service Productivity Management: Improving Service Performance using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)
H. David Sherman
Springer, 10-Sep-2006 - Business & Economics - 350 pages
The service economy is now the largest portion of the industrialized world's economic activity. This development has dramatically raised the importance of maximizing productivity excellence in service organizations. The correlation between the service economy and productivity excellence has lead service organization managers to recognize the value of using benchmarking techniques to identify and adopt best practices in their organizations. As the use of benchmarking metrics in service organizations has increased, correspondingly these organizations have improved continuously by allowing service units to learn from methods that prove the most effective. Service Productivity Management provides the insights and methods to answers questions on a whole range of productivity issues, of which some examples are: How do you manage profitability of a network of hundreds or thousands of branch offices disbursed over several states and countries? How can managed-care organizations manage the quality and cost of hundreds of physicians providing health services to millions of plan members? What methods would enable a government to ensure that the multiple offices serving citizens across a country are operating at low cost while meeting the required service quality? Each of these service settings are examples of the many service providers that deliver a complex set of services to a widely diversified set of customers. The book systematically explores complex service issues and analyzes each case for a variety of ways to improve service productivity, quality, and profitability. Service Productivity Management is an in-depth guide to using the most powerful available benchmarking technique to improveservice organization performance -- Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). (1) It outlines the use of DEA as a benchmarking technique. (2) It identifies high costs service units. (3) It isolates specific changes to each service unit to elevate their performance to the best practice services level providing high quality service at low cost. (4) And most important, it guides the improvement process. The discussion and methods are all supported by case-study applications to organizations that have sought and have successfully improved its performance. The techniques discussed in the book are accessible to any and all managers with access to Microsoft. Excel spreadsheet software (Excel). Throughout the book, step-by-step guidance is provided to enable any reader to apply DEA and the Excel software to their organization. Packaged with the book comes a ready-to-use DEA software CD for Microsoft. Excel Add-in to run DEA analyses on any set of organizations of interest to the reader.

The Power of Productivity: Wealth, Poverty, and the Threat to Global Stability

William W. Lewis
McKinsey Global Institute
University of Chicago Press, 01-Sep-2005 - Business & Economics - 368 pages

The Power of Productivity provides powerful and controversial answers to the  question of ameliorating  economic disparity among countries. William W. Lewis, the director emeritus of the McKinsey Global Institute,  draws on extensive microeconomic studies of thirteen nations over twelve years—conducted by the Institute itself—to counter virtually all prevailing wisdom about how best to ameliorate economic disparity. Lewis's research, which included studying everything from state-of-the-art auto makers to black-market street vendors and mom-and-pop stores, conclusively demonstrates that, contrary to popular belief, providing more capital to poor nations is not the best way to help them. Nor is improving levels of education, exchange-rate flexibility, or government solvency enough. Rather, the key to improving economic conditions in poor countries, argues Lewis, is increasing productivity through intense, fair competition and protecting consumer rights.

As The Power of Productivity explains, this sweeping solution affects the economies of poor nations at all levels—from the viability of major industries to how the average consumer thinks about his or her purchases. Policies must be enacted in developing nations that reflect a consumer rather than a producer mindset and an attendant sense of consumer rights. Only one force, Lewis claims, can stand up to producer special privileges—consumer interests.

The Institute's unprecedented research method and Lewis's years of experience with economic policy combine to make The Power of Productivity the most authoritative and compelling view of the global economy today, one that will inform political and economic debate throughout the world for years to come.

Measuring and Improving Organizational Productivity: A Practical Guide

Robert D. Pritchard
Greenwood Publishing Group, 1990 - 248 pages


Productivity has become a national priority. Its effects are being felt on all levels--national, industrial, and individual. An organization must be able to measure productivity before effectively improving it. This volume is the first practical guide for developing productivity measurement systems. It describes the use of the Productivity Measurement and Enhancement System (ProMES) designed by its author and his colleagues. An important tool for organizations, this step by step guide discusses how to measure productivity and then how to use this measurement.

Robert Pritchard's guide first presents a detailed description of the development and uses of ProMES. The background and description of ProMES is followed by details on how to develop ProMES in any organization. Questions and answers about using the system are discussed together with further issues on how to implement the system. The use of the system with other productivity improvement techniques is also covered. The volume concludes with a discussion on evaluating the effects of a productivity improvement system. It is a valuable practical source for industrial and organizational psychologists, management consultants, classes, and workshops.

Bases For Industrial Engineering Initiatives


There are different bases for industrial engineering initiatives.

Principles


Principles like principles of motion economy provide the basis for examining the present and proposed ways of work and design them so that they conform to the principles. Learning curve effect is one principle which posits that as cumulative production increases, the efficiency will increase. Whenever it is not happening, there is a need for focussed evaluation of the methods.

Guidelines


Organizations like National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health come out with various guidelines like maximum amount of weight that can be lifted manually, the peak pulse rate or heart rate and the recovery periods for heart rate etc. Design of human effort has to be done so that these guidelines are followed. Guidelines are available for computer workstations also.

Benchmarking among operators doing the same or similar jobs


Industrial engineers can observe the work of various operators and from these observations identify the efficient motions and validate those motions from occupational health and comfort considerations and then incorporate them into new effort designs.

Intuition of Industrial Engineers


As industrial engineers are undertaking various projects, some ideas come to them at periodic intervals regarding some of the activities that they have redesigned and are currently investigating.

Group based creativity


Every redesign has to include a question based group creativity sessions so that different persons think about different alternatives for accomplishing a task.

Model Based Approaches


OR models are appropriate example for model based approach.

Technique Based Approach


Value Engineering, SMED, Statistical Quality Control, Statistical Inventory Control, Six Sigma, Activity Based Management etc. are technique based approaches. If they have not been used so far on an operation or process they can be used and improvement can be realized.

Benchmark data against other participants using filters Print custom graphs on a question-by-question basis Print industry reports, referencing over 35 KPIs
This reporting platform helps temperature-controlled warehouse companies better evaluate their operations and performance.


Benchmarking Process Productivity and Cost


Industrial engineers have to engage in benchmarking activity to improve their organization's processes.


For benchmarking, you have to use every bit of information that you come across to become aware of the improvements and improvement possibilities that are emerging due to research, development and design activities of various persons and organizations in the academic, agriculture, industry and business environments. You have to compare your process requirements with what is happening elsewhere to find better processes or process tasks in the environment. That will put you on a task to understand in detail what is happening elsewhere. Your benchmarking is complete when you improve your process further in response to the information revealed in the benchmarking project.

What is Benchmarking

Benchmarking is understanding the currently superior processes or process elements that other companies are using and improving internal processes based on the information obtained. 

The first step in the process is becoming aware that another company has a better process or process element. Then trying to understand the result of the process. Once there is recognition that better results are being achieved elsewhere thinking starts to improve the internal process. Externally, there will be attempts to understand the better process. Consultants are invited to offer help. The final step in benchmarking is develop a still better process. But before that the company may match the best process found in benchmarking. Benchmarking activities point of the possibility for improvement.

Benchmarking Against Competitors and Noncompetitors 


Benchmarking against the competition, poses some problems. Getting information about competitors is obviously difficult. 

Where do you find well-run noncompetitors for the purpose of comparison? Annual reports and other easily available publications can uncover gross indicators of efficient operation. Universally recognized measures like ROA, revenue per employee, inventory turns, and percent SG&A expenses will help identify the well-managed companies.

The first step in the process is to identify what will be benchmarked—expense-to-revenue ratios, inventory turns, service calls, customer satisfaction—whatever the “product” of the particular function is. Then pinpoint the areas that need improvement.

In Xerox’s experience, managers tend to concentrate first on comparative costs. Then attention shifts to  understanding practices, processes, and methods. it is more important and useful because these define the changes necessary to reach the benchmark costs. 

To identify superior performance in particular functions, Xerox relies especially on trade journals, consultants, annual reports and other company publications in which “statements of pride” appear, and presentations at professional and other forums. The same well-run organizations keep turning up.

Getting a noncompetitor’s cooperation in the venture is usually easier because professionals in a function are eager to compare notes. They want to know how their system stacks up. Indeed, several non-competitors have agreed to share the expense of benchmarking studies with Xerox.

Dymax light-curable materials are one-component products and typically reach full cure in 1-30 seconds. The one-component nature and fast cure of LCMs provide cost-reducing benefits including:

Lower Capital Costs: Dispensing systems for one-component materials cost significantly less than systems for two-component materials.
No Pot Life Problems: Two-component systems generally have pot lives measured in minutes or hours. Products with short pot life require frequent purge cycles, often resulting in clogged mixing elements.
No Hazardous Waste: Material purged from a system that remains uncured is usually classified as hazardous waste. Dymax products are one-component systems, so there is no off-ratio mixing or purging. Manufacturers can cure 100% of products, eliminating waste.
Shorter Cycle Times: Less work-in-progress and shorter lead times.
Increased Capacity: Bonding steps that may have been bottlenecks with slower systems are no longer bottlenecks.
Less Floor Space: Elimination of ovens, humidity chambers, conveyors and racks.
Easier and Better Automation: Indexing time on a line is reduced and inspection can be completed on-line. Reducing the complexity of fixturing during the curing process is also possible.
Dymax manufacturers light-curable materials for plastic sealing, metal bonding, and glass assembly, as well as for joining dissimilar substrates. Temporary maskants for protection of components during surfacing finishing operations, conformal coatings for printed circuit boards, and form in place gaskets are also available. Dymax products are utilized in a wide range applications within the appliance, medical device, electronic, aerospace and defense, and automotive industries worldwide.

AUTOMATED PASSING OF SPECIAL CONTACT ELEMENTS FOR ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY

By a vibration and a specially created strip for leading and positioning the contact elements conditions for automated SMD assembly were created. This enabled a large decrease in the prime cost of the products and an increase in the productivity of the whole production.

Benefits of the system for an automatic passing of components are:

- An automatic assembly of final products was possible as the problem regarding the precise assembly of contact components was solved;
- The productivity increased 8 times, which enabled the accomplishment of the increased volume of production;
- The labor considerably reduced, which reduced the prime cost of the product considerably
- The rework rate considerably decreased. This guarantees a lack of refusals among the clients;
- The possibility of stopping work of an assembly line decreases.

Samsung Electronics: And the Struggle For Leadership of the Electronics Industry
Tony Michell
John Wiley & Sons, 28-Jun-2010 - Business & Economics - 256 pages
This book views Samsung Electronics in terms of corporate life cycle as well as product portfolio and strategy. It also examines the issues Samsung faces as it proceeds further into the 21st century.
Written from the perspective of an experienced commentator on Korean and global business, this book presents not simply a narrative or an adulatory and uncritical account of Samsung's rise, but a considered analysis of the secrets of success that both business students and CEOs will want to read and consider applying to their own companies.
