Why Some Organizations Fail Too much emphasis on short-term
financial performance Failing to take advantage of strengths
and opportunities Neglecting operations strategy Failing to recognize competitive threats

Why Some Organizations Fail Too much emphasis in product and
service design and not enough on improvement
Neglecting investments in capital and human resources
Failing to establish good internal communications
Failing to consider customer wants and needs

Global Strategy
Strategic decisions must be made with respect to globalization
What works in one country may not work in another
Strategies must be changed to account for these differences
Other issues Political, social, cultural, and economic
differences

Productivity Productivity
A measure of the effective use of resources, usually expressed as the ratio of output to input
Productivity ratios are used for Planning workforce requirements Scheduling equipment Financial analysis

Productivity
Partial measures output/(single input)
Multi-factor measures output/(multiple inputs)
Total measure output/(total inputs)
Productivity = OutputInput

Productivity
Determine the productivity of the following; Four workers installed 720 square yards of
carpeting in 8 hours. A machine produced 68 usable pieces in 2 hours. A company that processes fruits and vegetables is
able to produce 400 cases of canned peaches in half hour with 4 workers. What is labour productivity
Productivity = OutputInput

Example
7040 Units Produced
Cost of labor: $1,000
Cost of materials: $520
Cost of overhead: $2000
What is the multifactor productivity?
Ans. 2.0 units per dollar of input
Determine the multifactor productivity using the following data:
![Page 34: Competitiveness, Strategy, and Productivity](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568168af550346895ddf6ad8/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
2-34
Example : Solution
MFP = OutputLabor + Materials + Overhead
MFP = (7040 units)$1000 + $520 + $2000
MFP = 2.0 units per dollar of input

Question
1. A wrapping paper company produced 2,000 rolls of paper one day. Standard price in RM1/roll. Labour cost was RM160, material cost was RM50, and overhead was RM320. Determine the multifactor productivity
2. Suppose that a company produced 300 standard bookcases last week using 8 workers and it produced 240 standard bookcases this week using 6 workers. In which period was the productivity higher?
