Historical Evolution of OM
•Industrial revolution (1770’s)
•Started in England
•Substituted machine power for human power
•Steam Engine (1781) (James Watt)
•Scientific management (1911) (Frederick Taylor)
•Mass production (Henry Ford)
•Interchangeable parts (Eli Whitney)
•Division of labor (Adam Smith)
•Human relations movement (1920-60)
•Hawthorne Effect (Elton Mayo)
•Motivation theories (Maslow, Herzberg)
•Decision models (1915, 1960-70’s)
•Influence of Japanese manufacturers
•Just-In-Time (JIT)
•Total Quality Management (TQM)
•Business Process Reengineering
•Lean / Six Sigma

Eli Whitney
(1765 –1825)
•Concept of interchangeable parts
•Before this time, guns were made one at a time. Each gun was
different.
•If a part broke, a new part had to be created.
•Whitney created muskets with exactly the same parts, so any part
would fit any gun.
•The use of interchangeable parts speeded up production, made
repairs easier, and allowed the use of lower-paid, less skilled workers.
21
Frederick Taylor
(1856 –1915)
•Considered the father of “Scientific Management”
•Systematic approach to increasing worker productivity through time
study, standardization of work, and incentives
.
•Created efficiency principles
1.Study the way workers perform their tasks, gather all the informal job knowledge that
workers posses, and experiment with ways of improving how tasks are performed.
2.Codify the new methods of performing tasks into written rules and standard operating
procedures.
3.Carefully select workers who possess skills and abilities that match the needs of the
task, and train them to perform the task according to the established rules and
procedures.
4.
Establish a fair or acceptable level of performance for a task, and then develop a pay
system that provides a reward for performance above the acceptable level.
22
Frank and Lillian Gilbreth
(1868–1924, 1878-1972)
•Pioneers in the field ofmotion studies
•Provided the foundation for job simplification, meaningful work, and
incentive wage plans.
•Developed the laws of human motion from which evolved the
principles of motion economy
•Analyzed each motion of work for wasted efforts in an attempt to
reduce each task to the smallest amount of expended time and
energy.
•Professed: effective training, effective work methods, improved
work environment, positive psychological perspective.
•Book “Cheaper by the dozen”
23
Henry Ford
(1863 –1947)
•1903 –created Ford Motor Company
•1913 –Moving assembly line to make Model T
•Unfinished product moved by conveyor past work
station
•Paid workers very well for 1911 ($5/day!)
24
W Edwards Deming
(1900 –1993)
After college, worked for U.S. Census Bureau (1930 era)
Worked for the War Department –WWII
Was sent to Japan to do census taking
JUSE (Union of Japanese Scientists and Engineer) brought him back to
teach statistics and statistical quality control
Was “discovered” in the U.S. when NBC published its white paper
–“If Japan can, why can’t we?” (1980).
He was an overnight success at age 80!
25
Deming's Philosophy
•Management and workers should speak a common language:
The language of statistical process control
26
Developments: 1990s
•Offer a greater variety of product choices
on a mass scale
Flexibility
(mass
customization)
•Developing new product designs & delivering customer orders more quickly than competitors
Time-based
competition
•Cooperating with suppliers & customers to reduce overall costs of the supply chain & increase responsiveness to customers
Supply Chain
Management
27
Developments: 1990s
•International trade agreements open new markets
for expansion & lower barriers to the entry of
foreign competitors (e.g. NAFTA)
•Creates the need for decision-making tools for
facility location, compliance with local regulations,
tailoring product offerings to local tastes, managing
distribution networks, …
Global
competition
•Pressure from consumers & regulators to reduce,
reuse & recycle solid wastes & discharges to air &
water
Environmental
issues
•Internet & related technologies enable new methods
of business transactions:
•E-tailing creates a new outlet for retail goods &
services with global access and 24-7 availability
•Developing influence of broadband & wireless
