Essentials of Operations Management
Operations Management
Fault Tree Analysis
This is a logical procedure that starts with a failure or a potential failure and works backward to identify all the possible causes and therefore the origins of that failure.
Work–Time Distributions
A characteristic of human work is that, when engaged on repetitive work, any person will not always take the same amount of time in performing a task.
Delivery Dependability
Delivery dependability means keeping delivery promises.
Layout
The term layout is used to mean the physical location of an operation's facilities (machines, equipment, and staff) within the operation.
Queuing Analysis
Queuing theory (also called waiting line theory) is a mathematical approach that models random arrival and processing activities in order to predict the behavior of queuing systems.
Failure Mode and Effect Analysis
The objective of failure mode and effect analysis ( FMEA ) is to identify the product or service features that are critical to various types of failure.
Sequencing
Sequencing is the decision that is taken on the order of the jobs that will be tackled by a workstation.
Operations Activities
Operations activities are the clusters of tasks to be completed (and decisions to be taken) which together delineate the boundaries of what constitutes operations management (OM).
Productivity Ratios
The definition of productivity as a ratio is conceptually straightforward; the total factor productivity (TFP) of an operation can be described by the equation.
Aggregate Capacity Management
Aggregate capacity management is the activity of setting the capacity levels of an organization in the medium term.
Failure Measures
There are three main ways of measuring failure: failure rates (how often a failure occurs), reliability (the chances of a failure occurring), and availability (the amount of available useful operating time).
Scheduling
Scheduling is the process of formulating a plan to indicate which jobs will be completed within a given timescale.
Cost
The meaning, measurement, and management of cost have long been primary concerns of operations management ( OM ) practitioners and academics.
Operations Role
The “role” of the operations function refers to the set of long‐term strategic responsibilities that are seen as being its prime concern, and from that, the part it has to play in achieving competitive success.
Hierarchy of Operations
A key element of the operations management ( OM ) Transformation Model is its applicability to very different levels of analysis.
Dependent and Independent Demands
An operation that produces components that go into an assembled product need not treat demand as a totally random variable: it knows that it is dependent on the demand for the finished product.
Value Engineering
Value engineering is a technical process whereby product designs are modified in order to minimize costs that do not contribute to the value and performance of the product.
Breakthrough Improvement
The breakthrough approach to improvement (or innovation‐based improvement) sees the main vehicle of improvement as major and dramatic changes in the way an operation works.
Capacity Strategy
Capacity strategy is the term applied to an interconnected set of decisions, which determine the long‐term capacity configuration of an organization.
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance aims to prevent asset/facility failures caused by time‐dependent factors such as component wear.
Work Study
Work study is a general term for the study of human work, based originally on the principles of Scientific Management.
Trade‐Offs
Trade‐off theory is concerned with the manner in which O perations O bjectives relate to one another.
Gantt Chart
A Gantt chart is a simple device, first devised by H. L. Gantt in 1917, which represents time as a bar, or channel, on a chart.

The Blackwell encyclopedic dictionary of operations management
Operations management is a subject whose content, boundaries and importance have changed considerably over the last few years. The development of new areas such as total quality management (TQM), just in time (JIT), benchmarking and manufacturing strategy has created a new approach and definition of the subject. Scholars, practitioners and those new to the field need to have a clear definition and understanding of the terms, topics and techniques…
