INTRODUCTION
 OM is the area concerned with the efficiency and effectiveness of
the operation in support and development of the firm's strategic
goals
 OM include the design and operations of systems to provide

goods and services
 OM is the planning, scheduling, and control of the activities that

transform inputs (raw materials and labor) into outputs (finished
goods and services).
 term operations management conjure up views of manufacturing

environments, many of these concepts have been applied in
service settings, with some of them actually developed
specifically for service organizations.

HISTORY - CONTRIBUTIONS
INDIVIDUAL EFFICIENCY
 F.w. Taylor studied the simple output to
time relationship for manual labor
 This is precursor for “TIME-STUDY”
 Frank Gilbert, and his wife Lillian Gilbert
examined the motion of the limbs of the
workers (legs,hands,eyes)
 This formed precursor for “MOTION-STUDY”
COLLECTIVE EFFICIENCY
 Previous focus on controlling the work-
output of manual laborers or machine
 Focused on individual efficiency
 Introduced Gantt chart for scheduling
 In 1930 inventory model for efficiency in
use of materials
QUALITY
 Previous quantitative aspects, now it is in qualitative aspects
 Quality which is an important customer service objective came to
recognized for scientific analysis
 Included the effectiveness addition to efficiency
 In 1931, walter shewart came up with his theory regarding control
charts for quality/process control. These charts suggests a
simple graphical methodology monitor characteristics of output
and how to control it.
 1935, H.F. Dodge And H.G Romig exercise control over quality
by applying statically principles acceptance/rejection “acceptance
sampling”
EFFECTIVENESS AS A FUNCTION OF
INTERNAL CLIMATE
 Hawthorne experiment draws the
effectiveness by increasing efficiency
 Explained through angle of human psychology
 Till now ruled by taylors theory of evaluation of
task and thus the specialization in one task
which found much use in Henry ford assembly
line.
Advent of operations research techniques

 World war-ii a bog boost for scientific
techniques
 Allied force work stasticians engineers
and other professionals.
 Operations management is also an academic
field of study that focuses on the effective
planning, scheduling, use, and control of a
manufacturing or service firm and their
operations.
 concepts derived from design engineering,
industrial engineering, management
information systems, quality management,
production management, inventory
management, accounting, and other functions.

Do we need to work overtime or
subcontract some work?).
OPERATIONAL LEVEL, (LOWER-LEVEL)
(daily/weekly/monthly) planning and control.
 Operations managers and their subordinates

must make decisions regarding scheduling
(what should we process and when should we
process it?),
 sequencing (in what order should we process
the orders?),
 loading (what order to we put on what
machine?), and work assignments (to whom
do we assign individual machines or
processes?).

TYPES OF
MANUFACTURING SYSTEM
INTERMITTENT SYSTEM
 Job production
 Batch production
CONTINUOUS SYSTEM
 Mass production
 Process production
INTERMITTENT SYSTEM
 Most products are produced in small quantities
 Machines and equipment are laid out by
process
 Work loads are generally unbalance
 Highly skilled operators are required for
efficient use of machines and equipment
 In-process inventory is large
 Flexible to suit production varieties
Examples
 Machines shops, hospitals, general office
JOB PRODUCTION
 Entire project is taken as a single operation
 Work is to be completed on each product
before processing the next item
 Versatile and skilled labor is needed
 High capital investment
 Control operation are relatively simple
 High unit cost of production
Example
Ship building, dam construction, bridge building
Batch production
 Unique product production
 Highly skilled employee
 Production planning is not based on sales forecast but
one hat to estimate or evaluate the requirements on
the basis of general business conditions, past
information and future sales promotion programme.
 Once the orders are received, production scheduling
operations begin.
EXAMPLE
Electronic instruments, machine tools, printing press
Problems with intermittent system
 Demand can be discontinuous

 All operational stages may not be balanced
 Elaborate sequencing and scheduling is require.
 Needs high investment
 Planning, routing and scheduling changes with fresh
orders
 Storage is necessary at each stage of production
process
 Can adjust to new situations and specifications
 Inspection is not in line with production
 Items are manufactured according to orders
CONTINUOUS SYSTEM
 There must be continuity of demand
 Product must be standardized
 Material should be per specifications and delivered in
time
 All operational stages in the process must be balanced
 Work must conform to quality standards
 Appropriate plant and equipment must be provided
 Maintenance must be by anticipation and not by
default
 Inspection must in line with production
MASS PRODUCTION
 Produce large quantities and much

emphasis is not given to consumers
orders.
 Production for stock not to order
 System can produce only one type of
product at one time.
PROCESS PRODUCTION
 Analogous to mass production with more

stress on automation in production
process.
 Volume of production is high
 Products where demand is continuous
and high.
EXAMPLE
Petroleum products, brand of medicines

GANTT CHART
 It is one of the techniques in scheduling

 Represented in the form of charts
 Charts portrays planned production and
actual performance over a period
 It is a regulatory chart divided by parallel
horizontal and vertical lines
Types of Gantt chart
 MACHINE RECORD CHARTS

(available machines and the time at
which various jobs are planned)
 ORDER CHARTS
(start and completion of work)

Gant chart cont…
 The horizontal axis of the Gantt chart is

a time scale, expressed either in
absolute time or in relative time
referenced to the beginning of the
project.
 The time resolution depends on the
project - the time unit typically is in
weeks or months.
 Rows of bars in the chart show the
beginning and ending dates of the
individual tasks in the project.
MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT
 An activity to keep equipment, or other assets

that a manufacturing firm possess, in working
condition.
OBJECTIVES
 To minimize long-run maintenance costs
 To minimize the instance of breakdown of
machines and facilities
 To provide a safe working environment
 To provide reliable conditions for equipment
MAINTENANCE ADMINISTRATION
 Work must be scheduled

 Inventories of spare parts maintained
 Prescribed quality standards met
 Labor standards established
 In case of breakdowns or shutdowns of
plants, sometimes, outside contract
maintenance work is resorted.
CLASSIFICATION OF
MAINTENANCE FUNCTIONS
 The availability of plant can be defined as
A = Tup / TUP + Tdown

A = availability of a plant
Tup = the cumulative time of operation in
the nominal working state
Tdown = the cumulative down time.
(to improve the value of (A) one has to minimize the

down time)
Types of maintenance policies
 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
 CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
 DESIGN-OUT MAINTENCE
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
 Which is carried out at predetermined

intervals and is intended to reduce the
likelihood of an equipment’s condition
falling below a required level of
acceptability.
 It can be time based / condition – based
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
TIME BASED IS EFFECTIVE CONDITION BASED IS
 The failure of any item of EFFECTIVE
an equipment is time-  In response to a
dependent. significant deterioration
 Item is expected to wear in a unit as indicated by
out within the life of the a change in monitored
equipment parameter of the unit
 The total costs of condition or performance.
replacement of the item
are substantially lesser
than those of failure
replacement repair.
Advantages
 Reduction of the total down-time and
consequent reduction in production losses
 Reduction n the number of major repairs, and
consequently reduced maintenance expenses.
 Reduction in the number of rejects and an
improvement in product quality.
 Reduction in the inventory of spare parts.
 Reduction in the number of accidents in the
plant.
 Reduction in the unplanned or crisis
management in maintenance.
Advantages cont…..
 Scheduled down-time of production.

 Replacement parts and supplies.
 Instruments i.e., in the case of condition
monitoring.
 Wages of preventive maintenance
technicians and staff.
 Minor costs such as those of record-
keeping.
CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
 Also know as breakdown maintenance which
is carried out when equipment fails, or falls
below an acceptable condition, while in
operation.
 Repair time depends upon the type of
complexity of the equipment, management
methods and engineering techniques and
above all the skill of the crafts people.
 Difficult to forecast the level and nature of
corrective maintenance load.
DESIGN-OUT MAINTENCE
 Aims at minimizing the effect of failure

and at eliminating the cause of
maintenance.
 Requires engineering action rather than
maintenance action.
 Tries to pin point the mistakes of the
design of the equipment.
MAINTENANCE COSTS
Maintenance is considered as the operation of pool of
resources men, spares, equipment) directed towards
controlling the plant availability.
UNAVAILABILITY COSTS
 Loss of in-service material
 Production loss while in repair
 Waiting for repair.
 Undergoing preventive maintenance
RESOURCE COSTS
 Corrective maintenance labor
 Preventive maintenance labor
 Maintenance equipment tools
 Spares usage and holding costs
MAINTENANCE PLAN
 Classification and SELECTION OF POLICY
identification of  FIXED-TIME REPAIR POLICY
equipment (low cost equipment)
 Collection of information  CONDITION-BASED POLICY
like failure (complex, high cost equipment)
characteristics of  DESIGN-OUT
equipment, repair MAINTENANCE
characteristics,
consequences of failure, (all high cost maintenance items)
 CORRECTIVE
safety regulations
MAINTENANCE POLICY
 Organization of
maintenance resource (no preventive actions are
effective.)
like administrative
structure, working
planning system
MAINTENANCE CONTROL
3 AREAS OF CONTROL
 Work control
(men,spares,equipment, work load)
 Plant condition control
(diagnose basic causes)

 Maintenance cost control
 Identification of the high –cost areas of plant.
 Monitoring the trend of maintenance effectiveness (
failures in labor utilization, machines)
MEASURING
MAINTENANCE PERFORMANCE
 Define the operational goals

 Establish priorities for the improvement
of maintenance techniques.
 Raise the morale of the maintenance
department, which in our country, is
being traditionally treated as a subsidiary
department.
Management models in
maintenance
 Work study
 Operational research techniques
 Logical fault finding
WORK STUDY
 Select the job
 Define the objective
 Record all the relevant facts
 Examine critically all the activities
(why,how,what,where,when,who.)
 Develop the best method
 Install the improved method and
maintain it.
Operations research techniques
 EXPECTED VALUE THEORY
 SIMULATION MODELS
(The above theories widely applied for estimating
break down costs and selecting appropriate
maintenance policies.)
 WAITING LINE THEORY (establishing repair
crew size, the number of facilities)
 RELIABILITY THEORY (failure rates of
equipment and components)
 REPLACEMENT THEORY (determine
replacement strategies for equipment)
LOGICAL FAULT FINDING
 Location of detection time as well as
ratification time.
6 stage procedure generally followed
 Analysis of the symptoms of the fault
 Inspection of equipment
 Faulty stage location
 Removal of fault
 Repair and replacement
 Performance testing information
documentation.
INDUSTRIAL SAFTY
 The application of human biological

science in conjunction with engineering
science to the worker and working
environment, so as to obtain maximum
satisfaction for the worker which at the
same time enhances productivity
