Moment-of-Truth at a Computer Company

Experience Detractors I had to call more than once to get through.

A recording spoke to me rather than a person While on hold, I get silence,and wonder if I am disconnected.

The operator sounded like he was reading a form of routine questions.

The operator sounded uninterested I felt the operator rushed me.

Standard Expectations Only one local number needs to be dialed I never get a busy signal I get a human being to answer my call quickly and he or she is pleasant and responsive to my problem A timely resolution to my problem is offered The operator is able to explain to me what I can expect to take place Experience Enhancers The operator was sincerely concerned and apologetic about my problem He asked intelligent questions that allowed me to feel confident in his abilities The operator offered various times to have work done, to suit my schedule Ways to avoid future problems were suggested PowerPoint presentation to accompany Heizer/Render Principles of Operations Management, 5e, and Operations Management, 7e 5-64 © 2004 by Prentice Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, N.J. 07458

Application of Decision Trees to Product Design

 Particularly useful when there are a series of decisions and outcomes which lead to other decisions and outcomes.

 Considerations:    Include all possible alternatives and states of nature including “doing nothing” Enter payoffs at end of branch Approach determining expected values by “pruning” tree PowerPoint presentation to accompany Heizer/Render Principles of Operations Management, 5e, and Operations Management, 7e 5-65 © 2004 by Prentice Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, N.J. 07458

Transition to Production

   First issue: knowing when to move to production!

Second: must view product development as evolutionary, not responsibility of single individual/department  Third: expect to need a trial production period to work the bugs out Fourth: recognize that responsibility must also transition PowerPoint presentation to accompany Heizer/Render Principles of Operations Management, 5e, and Operations Management, 7e 5-66 © 2004 by Prentice Hall, Inc., Upper Saddle River, N.J. 07458
