Week 3 - Assignment 2: Dropbox Assignment

Operation Capacity

You are considering opening a small doughnut shop in your hometown. Research the process required to make doughnuts. After learning all of the steps that are required in the production of doughnuts, respond to the following:

· List and describe all of the steps required to produce doughnuts as well as the equipment required to complete each step.

· Create a bill of materials to list those ingredients required to produce doughnuts.

· Describe what would be the capacity of the doughnut production operation that you are envisioning. In other words, describe what would define the maximum number of doughnuts that you could produce per hour.

· If your doughnut business is incredibly successful (to the point that you are now selling them frozen, via grocery stores nationwide, so that people can prepare them in their own homes), explain how you could effectively increase the capacity of your doughnut operation. What change in process strategy would be required to produce and sell doughnuts in this way?

Efficiency of the Production Operation

Research the process of producing an expensive product (assume that it is something that must cost at least $1,000). After learning the steps that must be accomplished to produce such a product, address the following:

· What would you expect the layout of a producing facility to look like (in other words, what is the process layout for such an operation)?

· What would determine when someone had finished working on one of these products (in other words, how would someone know that it was time to work on producing the next unit)?

· How would the efficiency of the production operation that you have envisioned be calculated (your answer should be specific to the type of product you selected, not just a general discussion of efficiency)?

· From your research, are there any ways in which the production of the product could be made more efficient than the way that it is normally produced? If so, what recommendations could you make? If not, describe another way in which the product could be made, even if it was inefficient.

Location Decisions

A manufacturer of oak barrels has factories in an area at the location coordinates provided in the following table. Each coordinate unit represents approximately 10 miles. The yearly demand at each factory is also given.

Factory	Demand	X-Coordinate	Y-Coordinate
Manchester	14,000	80	60
Fayetteville	17,000	60	10
Columbia	5,000	30	90
Lawrenceburg	3,000	30	20

Management has decided to build a new factory to supply raw material to these factories. The location of the new factory should be central to the existing factories.

Respond to the following in a Microsoft Excel worksheet:

· What should be the map coordinates of the new factory? Graph the locations of the four factories and the proposed raw material factory.

· Is the location of the proposed raw material factory where you expected it to be based on the coordinates of the other factories? Why or why not?

· What is the main contributing factor leading to the location of the proposed raw material factory?

Impact of Historical Research on Businesses

Identify one of the historical researchers who have been instrumental in advancing the related sciences of Job Design and Work Measurement. After studying his or her research and the impact of the research on businesses, respond to the following:

· Describe the nature of the researcher's investigation.

· Identify the contribution that was made by the researcher to the performance of organizations (for-profit or not-for-profit).

· Define the (usually less efficient) way that organizations were organized or conducting activities before the researcher's results were put into practice.

· Identify the improvement in efficiency or productivity that occurred as a result of this researcher's influence. (Note: This may not be possible for all researchers.)

Inefficiencies in Managing Human Resources

Investigate the degree to which human resources are related to the other factors (project management, product design, process strategy, location decisions, layout decisions, etc.). In a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word document, address the following:

· Identify inefficiencies in the way that human resources are utilized in a business at which you have worked in the past or with which you are familiar.

· Describe ways in which the inefficiencies that you have identified could be reduced or eliminated.

· Define what changes would be required to job designs in order to implement your suggested strategies for eliminating the inefficiencies.

· Identify how the way people are measured might need to be adjusted as a result of your suggestions.

· Explain whether additional compensation might need to be offered as a result of your plan to change job designs and work measurements. Support your rational with examples.
