, 1 Quality: characteristics of a product or service that bear on its ability to satisfy stated or implied
needs.
A. performance quality: the basic operating characteristics of the product or service
B. conformance quality: addresses whether a product was made or a service performed to
speci cations.
C. reliability quality: addresses whether a product will work for a long time without failing or
requiring maintenance.
2 Time: two basic characteristics: speed and reliability
A. delivery speed: how quickly the operations or supply chain function can ful ll a need once
it has been identi ed.
B. delivery reliability: the ability to deliver products or services when promised. A rm can
have long lead times yet still maintain a high degree of delivery reliability. Typical measures
of delivery reliability include the percentage of orders that are delivered by the promised
time and the average tardiness of late orders.
C. delivery window: the acceptable time range in which deliveries can be made
3 Flexibility: A performance dimension that considers how quickly operations and supply chains
can respond to the unique needs of customers. It can compete by responding to the unique
needs of di erent customers. Both manufacturing and service rms can demonstrate exibility.
Flexibility has become particularly valuable in new product development.
A. mix exibility: the ability to produce a wide range of products or services
B. changeover exibility: the ability to provide a new product with minimal delay
C. volume exibility: the ability to produce whatever volume the customer needs
4 Cost: “cost” covers such a wide range of activities that companies commonly cate- gorize costs

quality related costs (including failure costs, appraisal costs, and prevention costs)

Trade o s: decisions to emphasize some dimensions at the expense of others, To make logical
and consistent decisions, operations and supply chain managers must understand which
performance dimensions are most valued by the rm’s targeted customers and act accordingly.
Order winner: performance dimensions that di erentiate a company’s products and services from
those of its competitors, providing superior levels of performance.
Order quali ers: performance dimensions on which customers expect a minimum level of
performance. Superior performance on an order quali er will not, by itself, give a company a
competitive advantage.
