...reducing the wait time and creating an experience that the customers will enjoy, Mario believes that his business will grow. There are day’s that the wait time is too long, which in return is causing some customers to leave and go elsewhere. As of recently, Mario has decided for a period of two months that he will allow his grandson to make the necessary changes that are needed in order to maximize profits for the business. If Mario’s grandson proves to be an asset to the pizzeria and is able to create a system that is sustainable, Mario will then pass his business down to his grandson. One of the first deciding factors that Mario’s grandson must make is to identify problems or potential problems that can create a loss for the business. After a review of the pizzeria’s layout, it shows that there are 14 tables that sit four customers at a time, and two tables that sit two customers, which include a wait staff of four employees and two kitchen workers. In order for Mario’s grandson to reduce his customers wait time of nine minutes he must make the necessary changes to the pizzeria’s overall layout in order to seat more customers. Mario’s grandson ultimately decides to accommodate for 10 tables that would seat four customers at a time, and eight tables that would seat two. However, the wait staff of four employees, and two kitchen workers would remain the...

...regional distributor of office supplies to institutions and commercial businesses. It offered a comprehensive product line ranging from simple writing implements (such as pens, pencils, and markers) and fasteners to specialty paper for modern highspeed copiers and printers. MOP had an excellent reputation for customer service and responsiveness. Warehouse personnel at MOP’s distribution center unloaded truckload shipments of products from manufacturers, and moved the cartons into designated storage locations until customers requested the items. Each day, after customer orders had been received, MOP personnel drove forklift trucks around the warehouse to accumulate the cartons of items and prepare them for shipment. MOP ordered supplies from many different manufacturers. It priced products to its end-use customers by first marking up the purchased product cost by 16% to cover the cost of warehousing, order processing, and freight. Then it added another 6% markup to cover the general, selling, and administrative expenses, plus an allowance for profit. The markups were determined at the start of each year, based on actual expenses in prior years and general industry and competitive trends. Midwest adjusted the actual price quoted to a customer based on long-term relationships and competitive situations, but pricing was generally independent of the specific level of service required by that customer, except for desktop deliveries. Typically, MOP shipped products to its customers using...

...Study In order to be efficient and to maximize growth and profitability, it is critical to evaluate basic operations and determine where the potential problem areas are. Before any analysis can be done, a clear and concise object in operations need to be defined. Eastern Gear is growing at a rapid rate and a plan for growth is necessary. Currently, there are inefficiencies in taking in taking orders. Not all of the necessary information such as tolerances or finishes is obtained at the time that the order is placed. Also, at the time the order is placed is when the raw materials are ordered which adds an additional 1-2 weeks of processing time. Aside from the additional processing time from not keeping raw materials on hand, production time has increased from 2 weeks after receiving materials to 4 weeks. The increase in production time is due to recent addition of processing large orders, which subsequently increases the amount of time needed for smaller orders. Time management is critical in managing efficiency. There are bottlenecks and they may vary from different machine centers. 90% of the time is spent waiting for a machine to become available and the other 10% is spent actually using the machine. In addition the layout of the facility allows for additional travel time than what is necessary. Each problem is described more in depth below. Problem #1 – Issues with the order taking process. There is only one person who takes orders. And when the order is taken sometimes...

... Hi-Ho Yo-Yo, Inc. 2 First we must incorporate priority rules. Priority rules are regulations which determine in which succession the orders in front of a production line should be worked (Stevenson 2011, p. 712). In deciding what priority rules to acclimate, an organization such as Hi-Ho Yo-Yo, Inc. should achieve the following objectives: 1. Meet due dates of the customers if the product goes directly to them or the downstream operations if the product is but an input of another. 2. Minimize the time the order spends within the process including wait time. 3. Minimize work-in-process inventory which inevitable ties resources which can otherwise be used in more productive activities. 4. Minimize idle time of both machine and human resources. Given these objectives, Hi-Ho Yo-Yo, Inc. can choose from different priority rules and some of the most popular are as follows: (Retrieved from table 16.2, Stevenson 2011, p. 712).
