Lecture 1 – Operations Research Topics • What is OR? • Modeling and the problem solving process • Deterministic vs. stochastic models • OR techniques • Using the Excel add-ins to find solutions • Solving real problems J. Bard and J. W. Barnes Operations Research Models and Methods Copyright 2004 - All rights reserved

What is Operations Research? Operations The activities carried out in an organization. Research The process of observation and testing characterized by the scientific method. Situation, problem statement, model construction, validation, experimentation, candidate solutions. Model An abstract representation of reality. Mathematical, physical, narrative, set of rules in computer program.

Systems Approach Include broad implications of decisions for the organization at each stage in analysis. Both quantitative and qualitative factors are considered. Optimal Solution A solution to the model that optimizes (maximizes or minimizes) some measure of merit over all feasible solutions. Team A group of individuals bringing various skills and viewpoints to a problem. Operations Research Techniques A collection of general mathematical models, analytical procedures, and algorithms.

Definition of OR? OR professionals aim to provide rational bases for decision making by seeking to understand and structure complex situations and to use this understanding to predict system behavior and improve system performance. Much of this work is done using analytical and numerical techniques to develop and manipulate mathematical and computer models of organizational systems composed of people, machines, and procedures.

Problem Solving Process Goal: solve a problem • Model must be valid • Model must be tractable • Solution must be useful

The Situation • May involve current operations or proposed expansions due to expected market shifts • May become apparent through consumer complaints or through employee suggestions • May be a conscious effort to improve efficiency or response to an unexpected crisis. Example: Internal nursing staff not happy with their schedules; hospital using too many external nurses.

Define variables Define constraints Data requirements Problem Formulation • Describe system • Define boundaries • State assumptions • Select performance measures Example: Maximize individual nurse preferences subject to demand requirements.

Personnel Planning and Scheduling: Example of Bounding a Problem

Problem statement Formulate the Problem Construct a Model Model Constructing a Model • Problem must be translated from verbal, qualitative terms to logical, quantitative terms • A logical model is a series of rules, usually embodied in a computer program • A mathematical model is a collection of functional relationships by which allowable actions are delimited and evaluated. Example: Define relationships between individual nurse assignments and preference violations; define tradeoffs between the use of internal and external nursing resources.

Model Find a solution Solution Tools Solving the Mathematical Model • Many tools are available as discussed in this course • Some lead to “optimal” solutions • Others only evaluate candidates  trial and error to find “best” course of action Example: Read nurse profiles and demand requirements, apply algorithm, post-processes results to get monthly schedules.

Implementation • A solution to a problem usually implies changes for some individuals in the organization • Often there is resistance to change, making the implementation difficult • User-friendly system needed • Those affected should go through training Example: Implement nurse scheduling system in one unit at a time. Integrate with existing HR and T&A systems. Provide training sessions during the workday.

Components of OR-Based Decision Support System • Data base (nurse profiles, external resources, rules) • Graphical User Interface (GUI); web enabled using java or VBA • Algorithms, pre- and post- processor • What-if analysis • Report generators

Problems, Models and Methods Real World Situation Problems Models Methods

Operations Research Models Deterministic Models Stochastic Models • Linear Programming • Discrete-Time Markov Chains • Network Optimization • Continuous-Time Markov Chains • Integer Programming • Queueing • Nonlinear Programming • Decision Analysis

Deterministic vs. Stochastic Models Deterministic models – 60% of course Stochastic (or probabilistic) models – 40% of course Deterministic models assume all data are known with certainty Stochastic models explicitly represent uncertain data via random variables or stochastic processes. Deterministic models involve optimization Stochastic models characterize / estimate system performance.

Examples of OR Applications • Rescheduling aircraft in response to groundings and delays • Planning production for printed circuit board assembly • Scheduling equipment operators in mail processing & distribution centers • Developing routes for propane delivery • Adjusting nurse schedules in light of daily fluctuations in demand

The Quick Guide to Flawless Operations Management in 2021 (With PowerPoint Templates to Help You Get Started)

The Quick Guide to Flawless Operations Management in 2021 (With PowerPoint Templates to Help You Get Started)

It may take you a little under 300 seconds to read an entire 100-point job description of an operations manager in an up-and-coming startup.

Wait! 300 seconds? 100 points? Isn’t that a little overarching, you ask?

Not at all!

In fact, modern-day operations management demands this, and much more. You have everything you can think of. Intellectual and critical thinking capability? Sure. Technical know-how and innovative mindset? Yes. You know what? Throw in some practical skills and a slight sense of humor too!

But you see, operations management is nothing that you can put in a bracket like that. It is the beating heart and nerves of every model of business management . In more standard terms, operations management is the continued practice of planning and reinventing the production and delivery of goods and services at any company or organization.

Besides, operations management ensures that each of these tasks to pursue a company’s endeavors finishes with the highest efficiency without lapses. In other words, it is concerned with things getting done with as optimal use of company resources as possible. For those managing operations, the typical task list involves planning, maintaining, supplying, securing, and building efficient business systems.

Operations management process

Any operations manager is the cornerstone of the executive suite of an enterprise. Advancing the company goals in line with the corporate strategy is what operations management is all about. It also focuses on cross-functional collaboration that brings together a robust business framework. It is this framework that each component of operations management process follows and grows with.

But it’s reality check time!

The year 2021 is upon us, and the world across has had a fair share of turmoil. That also does not excuse the fact that operations management has shifted with the consistent change of demands. The end-to-end supply of goods and services has faced blows after blows as large-scale corporate overturns swept the global economies. The challenges, it seems, will take just a little (read: a lot) while before subsiding to a non-threatening demeanor.

So what’s an operations manager to do in the meanwhile?

Well, they better fasten their seat belts as this quick guide will showcase simple techniques to make operations management a breeze in a world building itself from the ground up. Also in tow are our handy PowerPoint templates that will help you put these techniques to good use instantly. Here we go!

Operations management in 2021: Visual communication tools are key

When the humble old Material Resource Planning (MRP) system was being developed in the 1950s to handle operations, production, and inventory management, its idea was to fulfill three essential tasks.

  •         The first was keeping track of the raw material required to manufacture the product.
  •         The second was to maintain minimum resources in the inventory for optimal use.
  •         And the third was planning the sequence for delivery and purchase.

I am sure you are going, “But hey! I am an operations manager for a company that sells software or digital learning courses. Mine is not a shoe-manufacturing company where I need to do inventory. How do I do things differently according to the needs of my organization?”

You see, with MRP, operations management became a tandem of software working out the scope of the analog. In other words, human intervention is still the driving force behind it. So if one were to put this tandem to productive use, there has to be a link of how operations managers can process, manipulate, and store data that the software handled.

That is the very basis of why visual communication tools like templates are crucial for operations management in 2021. These templates sustain the daily endless to-do list of an operations manager right from conception to realization to evaluation to evolution. When you approach everything with organized and well-presented data, you reap the best of both worlds.

On the one hand, you get to make well-informed decisions with the help of flexible data formats. On the other, you can incorporate these data formats to guide automated systems for planning resources and activities for flawless operations.

But how to apply visual communication tools to operations management?

We got you covered. And there is no rigorous brainstorming to be done here. The application of visual templates works the best on the lines of 5 V’s of operations management — Volume, Variety, Variation, Visibility, and Value. Once you align these templates to these dimensions, you get to manage operations seamlessly with the most resource-friendly outlook. Here are the techniques to apply them to your business, and some handy PowerPoint templates to get you started.

Technique 1: Lean down the volume

The volume dimension of operations management deals with the amount of a specific product manufactured to meet the demand. It entails managing the scope of output that sustains the production process.

Once the established system achieves the level of throughput as per the demand, an operations manager can increase the production. The larger goal is to manage the system capacity in line with the demand of the end-user and bringing down input costs. But how can one do it better?

Going lean is the answer. With market dynamics witnessing a colossal shift amid the pandemic, the onus is on how adaptive businesses are. Regulated outputs and cross-functional optimization can assist people managing operations with limited resources. Additionally, lean adaptation helps you incorporate minimal waste-producing activities, thereby easing the burden on resources. This also leaves more scope for strategic production and service.

Use these templates: The CXOs and the executive suite have all the right reasons to love lean. It gets things done. And it gets it done in less. Optimal performance rates improve cross-functional collaboration and planning, besides widening the scope of entering new markets.

Technique 2: Plan out the variety

With variety, an operations manager decides how many types of products and associated services the company needs to launch for better revenue. Variety opens new avenues for the company to diversify its production. Alternatively, it also gives organizations a chance to connect with customers on different levels.

Think of it as a company like Apple, which can diversify its production of consumer electronic goods. You get a phone, a tablet, a watch, and a cloud streaming service for all these devices. It won’t be a guess if we say self-driving cars will soon be striking another Apple chord with us soon (the buzz is that they will).

But what’s the catch here for an operations manager?

You see, the pull of newer markets and diversified portfolios may attract everyone in the executive suite. But for an operations manager, going for variety means more stress on the balance with volume. In other words, if there is a way to variegate types of a product, the production volume may take a hit. But since niche building and business portfolio management are the hot topics in 2021, the early bird will get the worm. But how?

Use these templates: The only solution to meet the rising demand for product diversification is to plan it out upfront. Another component that needs your attention is to include process resource requirements and output in your analysis.

The models extracted from that analysis can then further help make prudent decisions about uplifting the revenue streams by offering more to the customers. The following flexible PowerPoint templates provide a complete planning solution for well-informed operations management. Click on the one that suits your needs the best.

Technique 3: Experiment with variation

Optimization begets efficiency. But there are several factors that stimulate as well as limit the opportunities of optimization. Therefore, to keep up with these factors, businesses have to pivot the existing policies and procedures. The variation component of operations management deals with how operational efficiency can fluctuate to meet customer demands in exigencies.

Not only that, the variation dimension unlocks avenues of more significant revenue generation and maximization. The operations department has to orchestrate a well-coordinated strategy besides rigorous brainstorming to turn the wheel.

But how can an operations manager ensure flexible scaling in variation?

The answer lies in experimentation. In a disaster-ridden world as we see from the corporate lens, the need to churn out safer and robust protocols has grown starker than ever. But in the chase to formulate the perfect criteria for customer satisfaction, one should not lose sight of resource planning as well.

There has to be a proper control and feedback mechanism in every channel of communication that the company has deployed. Provided that, it would not take much to put your ear to the ground and channel remarkable growth strategies.

Use these templates: Championing variation in a turbulent landscape is no child’s play. But if one goes with multi-faceted approaches to resource planning and distribution, the needle will move to greener pastures.

Using meticulous market research and actionable communication techniques, an operations manager can assess the customer demands and external influence.

Technique 4: Digitalize the visibility

Operational visibility deals with how elaborate and evident the working systems are in an organization. Visibility also entails the customer’s direct interaction with the operational process.

Whether e-commerce or manufacturing, operational visibility and implementation have earned their clamor thanks to technology integration. An excellent example of this is e-commerce and online retailing websites that enable a full-fledged GUI-based package tracking software facility for each customer.

But how does one ensure excellent visibility of operations?

The answer lies in agile systems. Agile operations are characterized by iterative functions that deliver value to customers without any pitfalls. The minimization of errors comes from constant testing and quick implementation. Additionally, agile systems are best suited for technological projects focused on customer satisfaction using tech support and information access.

Use these templates: Incorporating agile into traditional systems can be challenging as it is. But suppose someone on the scale of Amazon Inc is trying to overturn their operations to faster modules. In that case, it is best to gauge the available information and then process it to devise agile models.

Technique 5: Evolve with value

The automatic routing of customer emails may not be much of an achievement to boast about. Optimized supply chains can only do so much. Outsourcing can also be a good option for unforeseen times. But when established systems keep running the way they are, the mirage of “all is well” can undoubtedly set in.

The missing piece of the puzzle, though, is monitoring feedback systems and improvement of procedures. Standardized procedures will need further analyses to generate better value for your business. This also necessitates high-power persuasion and collaboration techniques to be put into place.

Thus, the value component of operations management stems from how the system learns collectively from the resources and routines. This brings value in two dimensions — for your company and your customers.

Operations managers need to control the first with appropriate performance assessment measures supplemented with feedback loops. The second comes from constant communication and solicitation of feedback from the customer to guide technology changes.

Use these templates: A vital aspect of the value thought process is the constant use of analytics to reap data mining benefits. Properly-curated information in responsive data models eases the burden of cross-functional collaboration. Coupled with managerial brainstorming, the value prospect can bring up a significant change in financial planning and optimization.

Armed with all that knowledge, you can devise competitive policies and training frameworks for your company and employees. The following predesigned templates will help put things in order. Download and incorporate them for error-free operations.

Catering to the ever-changing needs of the company and the customer requires a little more than just acumen. Operations management is the most limber of business verticals that need constant planning and reinvention of policies and procedures. Therefore, it makes sense to have visual communication tools to guide your strategies for efficiency. Leveraging technology to process data and then incorporating that data into these templates can perk up your prospects in the face of crisis. The task-list for the pandemic-proof operations manager may even cross 100 points. But flexible templates will always come in handy to turn the corporate frown into a smile.

How to Make a “Good” Presentation “Great”

  • Guy Kawasaki

ppt topics for operations research

Remember: Less is more.

A strong presentation is so much more than information pasted onto a series of slides with fancy backgrounds. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others. Here are some unique elements that make a presentation stand out.

  • Fonts: Sans Serif fonts such as Helvetica or Arial are preferred for their clean lines, which make them easy to digest at various sizes and distances. Limit the number of font styles to two: one for headings and another for body text, to avoid visual confusion or distractions.
  • Colors: Colors can evoke emotions and highlight critical points, but their overuse can lead to a cluttered and confusing presentation. A limited palette of two to three main colors, complemented by a simple background, can help you draw attention to key elements without overwhelming the audience.
  • Pictures: Pictures can communicate complex ideas quickly and memorably but choosing the right images is key. Images or pictures should be big (perhaps 20-25% of the page), bold, and have a clear purpose that complements the slide’s text.
  • Layout: Don’t overcrowd your slides with too much information. When in doubt, adhere to the principle of simplicity, and aim for a clean and uncluttered layout with plenty of white space around text and images. Think phrases and bullets, not sentences.

As an intern or early career professional, chances are that you’ll be tasked with making or giving a presentation in the near future. Whether you’re pitching an idea, reporting market research, or sharing something else, a great presentation can give you a competitive advantage, and be a powerful tool when aiming to persuade, educate, or inspire others.

Fact Sheet on FTC’s Proposed Final Noncompete Rule

Facebook

  • Competition
  • Office of Policy Planning
  • Bureau of Competition

The following outline provides a high-level overview of the FTC’s proposed final rule :

  • Specifically, the final rule provides that it is an unfair method of competition—and therefore a violation of Section 5 of the FTC Act—for employers to enter into noncompetes with workers after the effective date.
  • Fewer than 1% of workers are estimated to be senior executives under the final rule.
  • Specifically, the final rule defines the term “senior executive” to refer to workers earning more than $151,164 annually who are in a “policy-making position.”
  • Reduced health care costs: $74-$194 billion in reduced spending on physician services over the next decade.
  • New business formation: 2.7% increase in the rate of new firm formation, resulting in over 8,500 additional new businesses created each year.
  • This reflects an estimated increase of about 3,000 to 5,000 new patents in the first year noncompetes are banned, rising to about 30,000-53,000 in the tenth year.
  • This represents an estimated increase of 11-19% annually over a ten-year period.
  • The average worker’s earnings will rise an estimated extra $524 per year. 

The Federal Trade Commission develops policy initiatives on issues that affect competition, consumers, and the U.S. economy. The FTC will never demand money, make threats, tell you to transfer money, or promise you a prize.
