Production System optimization: Case Study of a Local Textile Companyjournal ijrtem
ABSTRACT : The manufacturing sector in Botswana has been rapidly growing in recent times. Glam Collections used as a case study organization in this research, is an SME textile manufacturing company with its base of operations in Gaborone, Botswana. The company manufactures a wide range of products in-house and supply to the local market. The company has been growing in terms of scale of production in recent times and this has necessitated it to obtain a larger base of operations which requires an overhauling of their current processes and operations. Hence this research main objective is to demonstrate how Muther’s Systematic Layout (SLP) has been effectively used for departmental layout evaluation and facility design. Lean manufacturing tools were employed in the research together with the SLP technique in order to map and analyze the business processes before the systematic layout could be carried out so as to remove waste in the current process flows and standardize the company operations.
A case study on the strategic change of Arvind Mills- one of the biggest players in the Textile Industry around the globe.
Arvind Mills managed to stay afloat even during the recession of 1980s. Arvind is a tough competitor for players like Aditya Birla Grasim, Welspun, Alok Industries, S.Kumar's, Reliance Industries, and many more.
Indian Plastic industry is making significant contribution to the economic development and growth of various key sectors in the country such as: Automotive, Construction, Electronics, Healthcare, Textiles, FMCG , etc. It 2 has grown at 10% CAGR over the last five years to reach 13.4 MTPA in FY15. Current low penetration level and hence, low per capita consumption (~9.7 Kg) along with increased growth in end use industries could propel the growth of plastics further. Plastic industry is estimated to grow at ~10% in the near future reaching 21.6 MTPA by FY20.

Scenario 1 (length as needed)You are considering auctioning a L.docxkenjordan97598
Scenario 1 (length: as needed)
You are considering auctioning a Leonardo Da Vinci original sketch. You entice four bidders to come to your auction. The bidders’ valuations of the sketch in decreasing order are $3.0, $2.2, $2.0, and $1.5 (in millions).
· If you used a second-price sealed bid auction, who would win and what would the winning price be?
· If you used a first-price sealed bid auction and the optimal strategy for the participants was to shade their bid by 20% and the participants used this strategy, who would win and what would the winning price be?
· Which auction should you choose to maximize your profit?
Answer the above questions if the valuations of the sketch are $3.0, $2.7, $2.0 and $1.5.
Scenario 2 (length: 0.5 page)
In the auction described above, suppose that you could entice additional bidders to attend your auction. However, none of the new bidders would have a valuation greater than $3.0 million. Despite that fact, you expect the amount that the winning bidder must pay to increase regardless of the type of auction you use (first- or second-price sealed bid). For each auction, explain why you would expect the auction price to increase. If you want, you may assume the valuations of the original four participants are $3.0, $2.2, $2.0 and $1.5 million.
Scenario 3 (length: 0.5 page)
Some recent Super Bowl advertisements have spent very little time mentioning anything about their product--or even the name of the company. In particular, the two-minute long Ram Trucks "Farmer" commercial had only a few brief and almost unidentifiable views of their product until the last ten seconds of the commercial. Further, the name of the company was only mentioned in the last five seconds of that commercial. Explain why this commercial demonstrated the concept of signaling described in the textbook. In other words, why should consumers be convinced that a Ram truck is of high quality because of the airing of that commercial?
Scenario 4 (length: as needed)
Suppose there are two types of people who need health insurance; high-risk and low-risk consumers. High-risk consumers have a relatively high probability of needing expensive medical care and on average incur $2,000 of medical expenses per year. The high-risk consumers would be willing to pay up to $2,500 for insurance that covers all their medical bills. Low-risk consumers would be willing to pay up to $1,500 for full-coverage insurance and on average would incur on average $1,200 in medical bills. Assume 1/3 of all consumers are high-risk and the remaining 2/3 of consumers are low-risk. Consumers know whether they are high-risk or low-risk. The insurance company knows 2/3 of all consumers are low-risk but cannot identify which consumers are low-risk.
1. If all consumers bought insurance, what price must the insurance company charge to break even in expectation? That is, what price must the insurance company charge so that the expected payments equals the premium?
2. Which consumers w.

This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.

Production and Operations Management Case Studies
Case 1: Product Development Risks
You have the opportunity to invest INR 100 billion for your company to develop a
jet engine for commercial aircrafts. Development will span 5 years. The final
product costing Rs. 500 million / unit could reach a sales potential, eventually of
Rs. 2500 billion. The new engine can be placed in service 5 years from now, but
only if it qualifies four years from now for certification clearing commercial use and
only if it meets America’s Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) ever tightening
standards for noise reduction. Certification also has to be obtained from India’s
Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). There is competition from world-class
manufacturers like Pratt and Whitney and Rolls Royce who are developing
competing engines. If you decide to proceed with the project, you must also
determine where the new engines will be produced and develop the manufacturing
facilities. If you decline to proceed, your company could invest its resources
elsewhere and based on its track record, get attractive returns.
(a) What would be your line of action?
(b) In case of lengthy product design and development time, what kinds of risks
are there?
Case 2: Conflict of Interests
The GM (Works) has problems with manufacturing budgets, meeting cost reduction
targets, and dealing with new products manufacturing schedules. When an in-
depth interview (non-directive type) was conducted between the GM (Works)and the
Chairman of the Company, the GM (Works) explained that many things are
happening in the Company about which he is ignorant, particularly the
preparation, new product integration, etc. He agrees to the view that the Company
is interested in high-growth and high-profit, but he has never been given an
opportunity to review his own scheme of things and explain to the top
management. The production culture of the company has never been assessed
whereas the stringent rules are being directed by the finance and personnel
departments. And sometimes, show cause notices are being served to supervisors
and senior employees. The Company is introducing new products without
assessing the capability of the manufacturing system and the resources.
(a) Under the above situation, if you are asked to work as a consultant to show
the perspectives to the Board of Management, what action plans would you
suggest?
(b) Does Business Process Re-engineering (BPR) help in situations like these?
Case 3: Project Delays
The Assam Gas Cracker Project conceived as part of the Assam Accord signed in
1985 is yet to see the light of the day. It has been plagued by a host of problems
starting from location to economic viability. Originally planned at Tengakhat, it was
later shifted to a place called Lepetkata. The project is now being implemented by
GAIL (a Government of India enterprise) as the lead promoter (70% share) with
another public enterprise OIL (20% share) and the Government of Assam as minor

partners. GAIL had to be brought in after India’s largest private sector enterprise
Reliance Industries backed out of the project saying that it was economically
unviable. The land acquisition for the project (as of mid 2008) is yet to be
completed and there is still a lot of uncertainty regarding the availability of raw
materials for production. In the meantime, the project cost has spiraled many times
over to INR 50 billion, which is likely to go up further.
(a) Discuss the importance of Project Management in the light of the above
situation.
(b) As a project manager employed with GAIL, what would be your line of action
to see to it that the project is not delayed any further?
(c) Why do projects suffer from time and cost overruns?
Case 4: JIT in Action
A new phenomenon called ‘Apparel on Demand’ is slowly making its presence felt.
It is an extension of JIT linking retailers and manufacturers for a just-in-time
responsiveness. NaaR Clothing Inc., promoted by a young management graduate
has recently ventured into the business of making reasonably priced custom jeans
for women. It has partnered with many stores selling women garments. In the
stores, women are electronically measured and information like colour, fabric,
style, etc., are recorded. The information reaches the NaaR manufacturing facility
at Ahmedabad almost immediately through a state-of-the-art information
system.NaaR guarantees delivery of the custom jeans within 10 days. With the
growing acceptance of jeans among the women in India, specially in the urban
areas, the market for women’s jeans is growing at a fast pace. NaaR with its unique
business model hopes to garner a significant share of this market. The promoter of
NaaR along with her top executives is confident that their concept of JIT jeans
would work.
(a) Do you think NaaR’s strategy would work? Why or why not? What is the
importance of retailers in its business strategy?
(b) Will customers wait for 10 days to have the jeans delivered? What can NaaR
do to compete on customer service if delivery takes this much time?
(c) Comment on the necessity of a robust supply chain in the context of NaaR
Clothing Inc.
Case 5: Service Blues!
Jyoti had given her branded laptop for servicing to an authorized service centre to
repair a damaged USB port. The laptop was to be given the next day, but when she
went to take it that day, she was told that it was not ready. Jyoti had to wait for
four more days before she was finally given her laptop. Because she was in a hurry
while receiving the repaired laptop, she did not check the workings of the laptop at
that time. On reaching home and switching on the laptop, she noticed that that
LCD display had become problematic. The next day, she again went to the service
centre and reported the display problem. Jyoti was aghast when she was informed
that as she had signed the delivery documents, the service centre cannot take
responsibility for the display problem. She was asked to fill up a fresh service
requisition form to get the problem rectified and further was told that all expenses
incurred in rectifying the problem had to be paid by her.

(a) Do you think that After Sales Service through a third party is a cause for
concern? Justify.
(b) There seems to be a breach of trust in the given caselet. How is breach of
trust related to quality of service?
(c) In the context of the given caselet, formulate a Quality Service Policy to
ensure customer satisfaction.
