Process StrategyProcess Strategy How to produce a product or provide a
service.
Objective: Meet or exceed customer requirements. Achieve competitive advantage.
Has long-run effects: Product & volume flexibility. Costs & quality .

Four Process StrategiesFour Process Strategies Four process strategies:
1. Process focused. 2. Product focused. 3. Repetitive focused. 4. Mass customization.
Several strategies may be used within one facility.
Process strategies follow a continuum.

Definition and Measures of CapacityDefinition and Measures of Capacity
Capacity:
Design Capacity:
Effective capacity:
The maximum output of a system in a given period.
The maximum capacity that can be achieved under ideal conditions.Example: 200/day
The expected capacity given the current operating environment and constraints;may be viewed as a percentage of design capacity.Example: 180/day or 90%

Break-even AnalysisBreak-even Analysis To evaluate process & equipment alternatives. Objective:
Find the point ($ or units) at which total cost equals total revenue, -or-
Find the range of output over which different alternatives are preferred.
Assumptions: Revenue & costs are related linearly to volume. All information is known with certainty. No time value of money.
![Page 38: 7-1 Operations Management Process Strategy and Capacity Planning Chapter 7.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061412/5519fe865503464c588b4b13/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Break-even Analysis - CostsBreak-even Analysis - Costs
Fixed costs: Costs independent of the volume of units produced. Depreciation, taxes, debt, mortgage payments, etc.
Variable costs: Costs that vary with the volume of units produced. Labor, materials, portion of utilities, etc.

Break-even Example 1Break-even Example 1A firm produces radios with a fixed cost of $7,000 per
month and a variable cost of $5 per radio. If radios sell for $8 each:
1a) What is the break-even point?
TR = TC so 8x = 7000 + 5x
x = 7000/3 = 2,333.333 radios per month
1b) What output is needed to produce a profit of $2,000/month?
Profit = 2000/month so
TR - TC = 8x - (7000 + 5x) = 2000
x = 9000/3 = 3,000 radios per month
![Page 42: 7-1 Operations Management Process Strategy and Capacity Planning Chapter 7.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061412/5519fe865503464c588b4b13/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
7-42
Break-even Example 1 - continuedBreak-even Example 1 - continued1c) What is the profit or loss if 500 radios are produced each
week?
First, get monthly production:
50052/12 = 2,166.6667 radios per month
Then calculate profit or loss
TR - TC = 82166.6667 - (7000 + 52166.6667)
= $-500 per month
($500 loss per month)
![Page 43: 7-1 Operations Management Process Strategy and Capacity Planning Chapter 7.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061412/5519fe865503464c588b4b13/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
7-43
Break-even Example 2Break-even Example 2A firm produces radios with a fixed cost of $7,000 per month and
a variable cost of $5 per radio for the first 3,000 radios produced per month. For all radios produced each month after the first 3,000 the variable cost is $10 per radio (for added overtime and maintenance costs). If radios sell for $8 each:
2a) What are the break-even point(s)?
Now TC has two parts depending on the level of production:
For x 3000/month: TC = 7000 + 5x
For x > 3000/month: TC = 7000 + 5(3000) + 10(x-3000)
= -8000 + 10x
For any x: TR = 8x
![Page 44: 7-1 Operations Management Process Strategy and Capacity Planning Chapter 7.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061412/5519fe865503464c588b4b13/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
7-44
Break-even Example 2 - continuedBreak-even Example 2 - continuedFor x 3000/month: TC = 7000 + 5x
For x > 3000/month: TC = -8000 + 10x
For any x: TR = 8x
For x 3000/month: 7000 + 5x = 8x so x = 2,333.33/month
This is < 3000/month, so it is a valid break-even point.
For x > 3000/month: -8000 + 10x = 8x so x = 4000/month
This is > 3000/month, so it is also a valid break-even point.

Break-even Example 3 - continuedBreak-even Example 3 - continuedFor x 2000/month: TC = 7000 + 5x
For x > 2000/month: TC = -3000 + 10x
For any x: TR = 8x
For x 2000/month: 7000 + 5x = 8x so x = 2,333.33/month
This is not < 2000/month, so it is not a break-even point!!
For x > 2000/month: -3000 + 10x = 8x so x = 1500/month
This is not > 2000/month, so it is not a break-even point!!
THERE ARE NO BREAK-EVEN POINTS!

Crossover ExampleCrossover ExampleProcess A: FA = $5000/week VA = $10/unit
Process B: FB = $8000/week VB = $4/unit
Process C: FC = $10000/week VC = $3/unit
Over which range of output is each process best?
1. At x = 0 A is best (FA is smallest fixed cost).
2. As x gets larger, either B or C may become better than A:
B < A for x > 3000/6 or x > 500/week
C < A for x > 5000/7 or x > 714.28/week
so B is best for x > 500/week
3. Eventually, C will become better than B (VC< VB).
C < B for x > 2000/week

Example: What is present value of $1,000,000 paid in 20 equal annual installments?
For i=6%/year, S = 5000011.47 = $573,500
For i=14%/year, S = 500006.623 = $331,150

Limitations of Net Present ValueLimitations of Net Present Value
Investments with the same NPV will differ: Different lengths.
Different salvage values.
Different cash flows.
Assumes we know future interest rates!
Assumes payments are always made at the end of the period.
