BUS 307 Week 5 Final Paper
http://www.homeworkmye.com/product/bus-307-week-5-final-paper
The final assignment for the course is a Final Paper on two cases. The Final
Paper should demonstrate understanding of the reading as well as the
implications of new knowledge. The eight- to ten-page paper should integrate
readings and course discussions into work and life experiences. It may include
an explanation and examples from previous experiences as well as implications
for future applications.
Read the case study at the end of Chapter 15 and the case study at the end of
Chapter 16, and thoroughly answer all the following questions. Supplement your
answers with scholarly research using the Ashford Online Library. Each case
study should be addressed in four to five pages, resulting in a combined Final
Paper of eight to ten pages.
Chapter 15 Case Study: The Realco Breadmaster
1. Develop a master production schedule for the breadmaker. What do the
projected ending inventory and available-to-promise numbers look like? Has
Realco “overpromised“? In your view, should Realco update either the forecast or
the production numbers?
2. Comment on Jack“s approach to order promising. What are the advantages? The
disadvantages? How would formal master scheduling improve this process? What
organizational changes would be required?
3. Following up on Question 2, which do you think is worse, refusing a
customer“s order upfront because you don“t have the units available or accepting
the order and then failing to deliver? What are the implications for master
scheduling?
4. Suppose Realco produces 20,000 breadmakers every week, rather than 40,000
every other week. According to the master schedule record, what impact would
this have on average inventory levels?
Chapter 16 Case Study: A Bumpy Road for Toyota
1. Is Toyota“s focus on quality consistent with the Lean philosophy? Can a firm
actually follow the Lean philosophy without having a strong quality focus?
Explain.
2. Who are the “coordinators“ referred to in the article? What role have they
played in educating Toyota“s workforce in promoting the TPS (Toyota Production
System) philosophy? Why are they so hard to replicate?
3. According to Hajime Oba, what is wrong with Detroit“s approach to Lean? Based
on your understanding of American auto manufacturers, do you agree or disagree?
4. There is an old saying “Haste makes Waste.“ How does this apply to what is
happening in the Georgetown plant? What is Toyota doing about it?
