strategy

All operations are input-transformation
output processes
Four V’s in operations
- Volume (of the output)
- Variety (of the output)
- Variation (in the demand
for their output)
- Visibility (degree of which
customers have of the
creation of their output)
Goal of 4V
- A tool to understand how
operations are positioned
- Gain insight how to
manage an operation
based on the 4V
- By meaning of a line displaying each high low V, it can be visualized
what the distribution in the company is like
Performance objectives (CDFSQ)
1. Quality (be right)
- Specification of a product or service (eg; organic exclusively
meat)
- The consistent conformance to customers’ expectations (quick
service Mcdonalds)
2. Speed (being fast)
- Elapsed time between a customer asking for a product or
service and getting it
3. Dependability (trustworthy and reliable; being on time)
- Doing things in time for customers to receive product or
services exactly when they are needed or promised. (Flight
arrives on time)
4. Flexibility (ability to change)
, - Increased ability of operations to do different things for
different customers
5. Cost (being productive)

are not in control
- Aircraft; partly linear/in control and partly parallel/in control
