Operations Strategy Means
Adding Value for the Customer
Perceived Customer Value 
Total Benefits
Total Costs
(2.1)
Perceived Customer Value  Total Benefits - Total Costs (2.2)
If benefits exceed costs, the customer perceives

“Value is in the eye of the beholder”
What affects customer perceptions of value?

Developing an Operations Strategy
from Competitive Priorities
• Factory Focus and Trade-offs
–A factory could not focus on all four competitive
priorities (cost, quality, delivery, and flexibility).
• Focusing performance on one priority
limits/eliminates the ability to focus on another
priority.
• Plant-within-a-Plant (PWP) concept (Skinner)
–Different locations with a facility would focus on
their own competitive priority.

Developing an Operations Strategy
from Competitive Priorities (cont’d)
• Questioning the Trade-Offs
–World-class operations led to the establishment
of a hierarchy among the competitive priorities.
• Increased competitive capabilities led to increased
performance on all priorities by all competitors.
• Focus shifted from cost minimization to
maximizing the value added.
–Customer value is enhanced by the focus on
multiple priorities.
