, Competitive Advantage
if you wanne outperform your competitions, you need USP
• Ryanair: efficient ‘lean’ operation
• Starbucks: excellent customer experience
• Apple store: superior customer service
Ex.: Raynair based inexpensively/ dependability
Ryanair’s lean operations strategy:
• high volume/ low variety product
• efficient use of aircrafts (high capacity utilization)
• standardized, fast turn around process on the ground
• one type of aircraft • ‘cheaper’ airports • no thrills services
Operations: a system as a black box
Input (=customer); adding value & experience; Output (=happy guest)
Efficient = low cost, short processes, removing items that does not make sense
Ex: self-scan cashiers, ford assembly line, inventory cloths = seasonal pants, overbook
to generate as much money as possible (capacity management)
Exam questions: If you take the Disneyland customers as input describe the
transformation model.
DMO Causes of dissatisfaction
not enough handling capacity

all kinds of disruptions (e.g. check in terminals broken)
being ‘stuck in the system’ (waiting lines)
lack of quality standards

improved
