its price (Metaphorically defined as quality divided by price)

Manufacturing strategy: Emphasized how a factory’s capabilities could be used strategically to gain

minimal inventories of parts that arrive exactly when they are needed

Total quality management (TQM): Managing the entire organization so that it excels on all
dimensions of products and services that are important to the customer

Business process reengineering (BPR): An approach to improving business processes that seeks to
make revolutionary changes as opposed to evolutionary (small) changes

million units. Also refers to a quality improvement philosophy and program. Tools that are taught to
managers in “Green and Black Belt Programs”

, CHAPTER 2: STRATEGY AND SUSTAINABILITY

1. Know what sustainable business is and how it relates to operations and supply chain
management
 A strategy that is sustainable needs to create value for the firm’s shareholders and
stakeholders
 The shareholders are equity owners in the company
 The stakeholders are those individuals and organizations that are influenced by the actions of
the firm
 This view means that a firm’s strategy must focus not only on economic viability, but also on
the environmental and social impact of its actions

Sustainability: the ability to meet current resource needs without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their needs

Triple bottom line: Evaluating the firm against social, economic and environmental criteria

2. Define operations and supply chain strategy
 This involves setting the broad policies of a firm and creating a plan for using that firm’s
resources
 The operations and supply chain strategy coordinates operational goals with those of the
larger organization
 A firm’s operational capabilities should match the changing product or service needs of the
firm’s customer

Major competitive dimensions that form the competitive positions of a firm include:

Cost, quality, delivery speed and reliability, changes in volume, flexibility and new-product
introduction speed, other product-specific criteria

It is probably the most difficult to compete on this major competitive dimension = cost

Usually there are trade-offs that occur relative to these competitive dimensions

Operations and supply chain strategy: The setting of broad policies and plans that will guide the use
of the resources needed by the firm to implement its corporate strategy

Operations effectiveness: Performing activities in a manner that best implements strategic priorities
at minimum cost

Straddling: When a firm seeks to match what a competitor is doing by adding new features, services,
or technologies to existing activities. This often creates problems if certain trade-offs need to be
made

Order winners: One or more specific marketing-oriented dimensions that clearly differentiate a
product from competing products

Order qualifiers: Dimensions used to screen a product or service as a candidate for purchase
