Chapter 6 Producing Goods and Services




Economies of scale
Higher volume production with lower cost per unit of output
Suitable in situations where production processes have high fixed costs and equipment.
Economies of scope
Low-volume production with flexible capabilities of producing a wide variety of products
Important in markets characterized by changing customer demand.

Production trade offs
Centralized production facilities provide operating cost and inventory efficiencies.
Regional production facilities allow companies to be closer to customers and more responsive.

Large Facilities with excess capacity provide flexibility to respond to demand spikes.
Smaller facilities that are better utilized are more cost efficient.

Product-focused facilities performing many processes on a singe product type are more responsive.
Product-focused facilities concentrating on a few functions across multiple product types are more
efficient at its limited scope of activities.

You have the decision to make or outsource the production of product, or both.
In-house (make)
 Internal production processes are more directly visible
 Internal processes are easier to control form a quality standpoint

Outsource (buy)
 Lower product costs
 Free-up resources for other, more strategic needs
 Although, it is more difficult to maintain visibility and synchronize activities
 It is more difficult to control over quality, intellectual property rights, and customer
relationships.

a manufacturing or an assembly facility. The layout is influenced by a number of factors.

 The production strategy ad assembly process employed
 Product characteristics (weight, fragility, size)
 Demand characteristics (volume & variability)
 Service commitments
 Production mixes
 Facility costs

Production process layouts generally fit into a spectrum of work flow that moves from project to
continuous processes.




Packaging

Well-designed packaging can facilitate efficient handling and shipping of the finished goods. And
improve labor and facility efficiency (space & equipment utilization); and provide another level of
product differentiation sought by the customer.

 Ease of handling (materials handling & transportation)
 Protection of goods in the package
 Compatibility with customers’ materials-handling equipment
 Information provision to production & logistics personnel
