Strategic Decisions in POM: Developing Product

 In 2008, Ford Motor Company reorganized using what’s known as the 10 strategic operations
areas.
 It was part of the company’s turnaround and enabled the organization be more flexible and
survive the financial crisis without taking government bailouts.
 Toyota, Google and Jet Blue are also known for using the 10 area system in all of their business
activities. It is used across industries as a guide to operations management
Strategic Decisions in POM: Developing Product

The areas are:


 Goods and services: This includes looking for ways to implement consistency in costs,
quality, and resources across all business divisions.

 Quality Management: Be clear on the customer’s demands and then meet those expectations.
Use market research to determine customer needs and batch quality assurance testing on
products and services in production.

 Process and Capacity Design: Design strategies which support all production goals including
technology and resources. A value stream map can help determine what processes are
necessary and how to keep them running efficiently.
Strategic Decisions in POM: Developing Product

 Location: In developing a location strategy consider supply chain and how the location will receive
supplies, the movement of goods and services internally and to customers, and the role of marketing and
public relations in the location choice.

 Layout Design and Strategy: Consider the placement of desks, workstations, and how materials are
delivered and used.

 Human Resources and Job Design: Implement continuous improvement programs with regular reviews,
provide continuous training for employees, and institute employee satisfaction programs to achieve
success in this area.

 Supply Chain Management: Determine the best strategies to streamline, be cost effective, and to
develop trusted partners.
Strategic Decisions in POM: Developing Product

 Inventory: Different markets mean different challenges when it comes to inventory but all need to
strategize and plan their inventory control. Weather, supply shortages, and labor all influence how
an organization maintains its inventory.
 Scheduling: Consider both production and people. Ask questions such as how much product is
required to be produced for the customer in the required time? How many people and how many
machines are required to do the job effectively and efficiently? This differs among industries and
business departments. For example, emergency rooms need to maintain different schedules than a
hospital’s corporate office.
 Maintenance: This includes maintaining people and machines, as well as, process. What do you
need to do to maintain quality and keep resources reliable and stable?
These 10 areas can be applied to any size business, not just global giants such as Ford and Jet Blue. Use them as
a guide to analyze your operations. Measure your current productivity and then implement strategies to
operationalize these 10 areas into your decision making process and watch your productivity become more
efficient.
FUNCTION ANALYSIS SYSTEM TECHNIQUE (FAST)

What is Function Analysis System Technique (FAST)?


 A technique to develop a graphical representation showing the logical relationships between
the functions of a project, product, process or service based on the questions “How” and
“Why”.
FUNCTION ANALYSIS SYSTEM TECHNIQUE (FAST)
Benefits of the Function Analysis System Technique:

How To Create a FAST Diagram


Three key questions are addressed in a FAST Diagram:

 How do you achieve this function?


 Why do you do this function?
 When you do this function, what other functions must you do?
 The following diagram illustrates how a function is expanded in "How" and
"Why" directions in a FAST diagram.
Function Analysis System Technique (FAST):

Customer Need Mapped to Functions
FUNCTION ANALYSIS SYSTEM TECHNIQUE (FAST)

Why is the Function Analysis System Technique important?


 The Function Analysis System Technique aids in thinking about the problem objectively and in
identifying the scope of the project by showing the logical relationships between functions.
 The organization of the functions into a function-logic, FAST diagram enables participants to
identify of all the required functions.
 The FAST diagram can be used to verify if, and illustrate how, a proposed solution achieves the
needs of the project, and to identify unnecessary, duplicated or missing functions.
Steps in constructing the FAST Diagram
Start with the Functions as identified using Function Analysis:

 Expand the functions in the "How" and "Why" directions:


 Build along the "How" path by asking 'how is the function achieved'? Place the answer to the right in terms of
an active verb and measurable noun.
 Test the logic in the direction of the "Why" path (right to left) by asking 'why is this function undertaken?'
 When the logic does not work, identify any missing or redundant functions or adjust the order.
 To identify functions that happen at the same time, ask "when this function is done, what else is done or caused
by the function?"
 The higher order functions (functions towards the left on the FAST Diagram) describe what is being
accomplished and lower order functions (functions towards the right on the FAST Diagram) describe how they
are being accomplished.
 "When" does not refer to time as measured by a clock, but functions that occur together with or as a result of
each other.
Example
Example Fast Diagram: Pencil Manufacturing
Example Fast Diagram: Overhead Projector Fast Diagram
Example Fast Diagram: Mouse Trap
 Consider the following FAST diagram for a mouse trap using the how and why logic as
described above.
FUNCTION ANALYSIS SYSTEM TECHNIQUE (FAST)

Who is involved?
 The Function Analysis System Technique (FAST) diagram is usually prepared in a workshop
setting and led by someone with experience in preparing FAST diagrams. Input for the diagram
is received from workshop participants.
Is there a "correct" FAST Diagram?
 There is no 'correct' FAST diagram but there is a valid method of representing the logic in a
diagram. The validity of a FAST model for a given situation is dependent on knowledge and
scope of the workshop participants. The FAST diagram aids the team in reaching consensus on
their understanding of the project
Benefits of the Function Analysis System Technique:

The development of a FAST diagram is a creative thought process which supports


communication between team members.
The development of a FAST diagram helps teams to:
 Develop a shared understanding of the project
 Identify missing functions.
 Define, simplify and clarify the problem.
 Organize and understand the relationships between functions.
 Identify the basic function of the project, process or product.
 Improve communication and consensus.
 Stimulate creativity.
