In today’s operational management arena, there are certain expectations from a managerial aspect that must be met in order to be successful. A comprehensive look at the Space Age Furniture Company will show exactly what the Materials Requirement Planning (MRP) calculations are for this company at present time and then take the information given in order to properly suggest ways to improve the sub-assemblies. In addition, there will be an analysis on the trade-offs between the overtime and inventory costs. A calculation will be made on the new MRP that will improve the base MRP. This paper will also compare and contrast the types of production processing to include the job shop, batch, repetitive, or continuous, and determine which the primary mode of operation should be and exactly why. A detailed description on how management can keep track of the job status and location during production will also be addressed. Finally, there will be a recommendation on they type of changes that need to occur that will be beneficial to the company and at the same time add value to the customer. This paper will conclude with summary of the major points.
The protective packaging industry can be segmented three ways by use: positioning, block, and bracing; flexible wraps; and void fill. Coated (e.g., AirCap) and uncoated air bubble products serve the flexible wrap and void fill markets (refer to Glossary). The flexible wrap market, which dwarfs void fill as measured by annual sales, is of primary concern to Sealed Air and will thus constitute the focus of this report.
For much of its century long history, Nucor Corporation and its predecessors displayed turbulent performance. Several attempts at strategic and leadership realignment proved unsuccessful, and in 1965, the company faced insolvency. Since that time, however, the company has rallied around its steel operations to become the largest steel producer in the United States, with $4.3 billion in net annual sales. This case examines Nucor's development from an unprofitable conglomerate to a highly efficient enterprise. Specific focus on the evolution of the activity system underlying the organization lays the groundwork for systematic analysis of why some companies succeed while others fail.
the CEO at Home Depot, Robert Nardelli’s tenure was marked with heavy-handedness and inflexibility. Robert Nardelli’s leadership styles was autocratic. He utilized a command, control and conquer approach. He dictated policies and procedures, decided what goals were to be achieved, and directed and controlled all activities without any meaningful participation by the subordinates. He was in full control of the team, leaving low autonomy within the group. Before Nardelli came onboard, the managers of Home Depot had enjoyed independence under the laid-back entrepreneurship leadership style of Bernie Marcus. Almost immediately after Home Depot got Nardelli, he embarked on an aggressive plan to centralize control. He neglected the build relationships, inspired and aligned purpose, and create open communication with his team. He also disregarded the care of his shareholders. He was obsesses with goals, objectivity, and accomplishments within the boundaries of the values of the company. He

This case study is about “Specialized Bicycle Components Inc.” known as Ride the Red “S”. Specialized was founded in 1974 by Mike Sinyard. According to Chris Murphy, director of marketing for Red “S”, specialized is for serious riders. He says, “The customer is buying the ride from us, not just the bike.” The company began to produce its own bike parts by 1976, and introduced the first major production mountain bike in the world in 1980. Specialized now has an extensive global distribution network of 5000 retailers in 35 countries in Asia, North America, South America, and Australia. They maintained a reputation as the technological leader in the bike and bike accessories. The formal mission is still the same since they established the company “To give everyone the best ride of their life.”

Phil Carroll, former CEO of U.S. Shell (SOC, the American arm of Royal Dutch Shell) believed in the importance of the servant-leader model of leadership. In the early 1990’s, when this new leadership model was introduced, it shook the foundations of a company that had known success for many years using a more traditional authoritarian model of leadership. He wanted to completely transform the company into an organization that could continue to expand, and make a profit doing so. The company needed to tap into the resource it had (and still does) right under its nose – its employees! Mr. Carroll wanted the culture of the company to be transformed into a model of self-directed leaders who share knowledge amongst each other, creating an environment of continuos improvement. According to the American Management Association “Phil Carroll has led Shell Oil Company toward a significant transformation of its corporate culture. It is comprised of a new vision, a new business model, a new system of governance, a new concept of leadership, and the use of learning...
The TED talk video with Simon Sinek really captured my attention and made me more aware of what a real leader should be for an organization. (YouTube). Sinek gave us valid evidence that a leader can create either a successful team or completely shut down their functionality. My organization is a manufacturing company for making wheel loaders, dozers, trucks, and excavators and chapter nine of our book resonated with me since it spoke about Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, Checklists, and ISO standards. All of these items have been implemented by a vision from our CEO and I understand more today, than I did seven weeks ago that his ability to formulate the vision is the start of the equation which was shown in the video by Professor Gill, for our Leadership class. Professor Gill was able to explain all of the criteria needed for a successful organization and it all starts with the leadership. You can be strong in statesmanship and weak in innovation as a leader, but it is important to identify your weakness to surround yourself with other leaders who have the strength you are lacking.
Being a technological piece of art and mechanically robust machine, sales expectations were too high. Segway was predicted to be the fastest company in open era to hit $ 1 billion dollars in sales and they were so optimistic they erected a 77,000 square feet factory that can produce around 48,000 units per annum with an average price of $ 5000. However, only 6000 units were sold.
AJ Hackett looks after their employees by providing them with food; this is done 3 to 4 times in the winter to keep their employees happy and to motivate them to come to work even when it’s cold. After 3 years for working with the company they give their employees $500.00, after 5 years they give you $1000.00 for free. They give their employees gifts on their first day every year that they are still with AJ Hackett. Also they give their employee’s free tickets for the attractions; presents for Christmas and Easter also training is given. AJ Hackett deal with complains efficiently by talking to their client face to face if they have a problem and they offer a refund or another jump. If they have left the site they will email their client and offer the same product or refund. AJ Hackett has appraisals 30, 60 and 90 days into the employees trail, then 6 months later and then every year they will do an appraisal. I think that AJ Hackett would be a great company to work for because they look after their staff really well and they offer some great rewards for working for the company. One of the biggest Health and Safety hazards on site is the staircase because it is designed to look like a bungee cord bouncing back, this is due to customers getting distracted looking around and not focusing on walking down the staircase and they end up tripping or falling
I am going to start with the capacity of the machine and the capacity of the rest of the factory. As we know, if we order the machine now (which is the end of August) it will take approximately two weeks to be delivered and start working (without taking into consideration any possible delays). That means that we will have approximately two weeks time to produce the first delivery. That delivery (at the end of September) consists of the 30% of the total amount and if we choose to produce both the small and the large bands it will take us about 18 working days to produce it (if we assume that each day has 8 working hours).
