best possible payoff
MAXIMAX
26
best expected value among the alternatives.
EXPECTED MONETARY VALUE (EMV) criterion
27
generally implies an act
Service Operation
28
That the product or services is designed for specific case for specific case or individual.
Customized Output
29
strategy of producing standardized goods or services but incorporating some degree of customization
Mass Customization
30
Concerned with recruitment and training of personnel, labor relations and wages.
Personnel or Human resources
31
- certain parameters have probabilistic outcomes
Risk
32
postponement tactic, producing but not quite completing a product until customer preferences or specification are known
Delayed differentiation
33
customers, suppliers, competitors
External sources
34
Differences between goods versus service
-Customer contact - Uniformity of Input -labor content of job -uniformity of output - measures productivity - simultaneous production/ consumptionand deliver - Quality assurance
35
Represents a general approach to decision making that is suitable for a wide range
Decision Theory
36
generally implies an act
Service Operation
37
emphasizes interrelationship among subsystems, but the main theme is that the whole is greater than the sum of its individual parts.
System approach
38
- Organizations are formed to pursue goals that are achieved more effectively by the concerted efforts of a group of people than by individuals working alone
Business Organization
39
results in tangible products
Production of goods
40
- Recovering materials for future use.
Recycling
41
- set of conditions under which an items reliability is specified.
Normal Operating conditions
42
There is a high degree of uniformity in goods or services.
Standardized Output
43
Involves shipping of goods to warehouse, retail outlets or finals consumer.
Distribution
44
events whose occurrence or nonoccurrence do not influence each other
Independent events
45
How many different type of products or services are made by the operation?
Variety
46
-possible future conditions will actually happen
Certainty
47
relevant parameters such as cost, capacity and demand have known VALUE.
Certainty
48
Responsible for procurement of materials, supplies and equipment.
purchasing
49
showing the expected payoff for each alternative in very possible state of nature.
PAYOFF TABLE
50
- system that create goods and provide services.
operation management
51
- ability of a product, part, system to perform its intended function under a prescribed set of condition.
