Case: Kristen’s Cookie Company (a) Essay Example
1. How long will it take you to fill a rush order?
Action Needed Time in min
Clean Bowl, Add ingredients, and Mix 6 Dish Cookies onto Tray* 2 Put cookies in Oven, Set Timer & Temp. 1 Baking* 9 Remove cookies and cool 5 Bag cookies* 2 Accept payment 1

Total 26 * Per dozen cookies 2. How many orders can you fill in a night, assuming you are open four hours each night?
If we use the capacity of the mixing bowl, which is 3 dozen cookies per cycle, we get a different time.
Action Needed Time in min
Clean Bowl, Add ingredients, and Mix 6
Same for 3 dozen: 6
Dish Cookies onto Tray 2
2x3=6
Put cookies in Oven, Set Timer & Temp. 1

9x3=27
Remove cookies and cool 5
Same for 3 dozen: 5
Bag cookies 2
2x3=6
Accept payment 1
Same for 3 dozen: 1 Total 54

If we produce 3 dozen cookies every 54 minutes, we will complete 240/54= 4,44 cycles which is equivalent to 13,33 dozen cookies. Because there is no half cycle we need to round down. We can produce 4 cycles which is equivalent to 12 dozen cookies in 4 hours. 3. How much of your own and your roommate's valuable time will it take to fill each order?
Time used by me:

Time used by my roommate:
Action Needed Time in min

Total 4

4. Because your baking trays can hold exactly one dozen cookies, you will produce and sell cookies by the dozen. Should you give any discount for people who order two dozen cookies, three dozen cookies, or more? If so, how much? Will it take any longer to fill a two- dozen cookie order than a one-dozen cookie order?

    Imp 2 Cookies Cover Letter

    The main goal of the Cookies unit was to solve the Unit Problem. The unit problem introduced us to the Woos, the owners of a cookie bakery. The Woos want to find the most profitable combination of plain and iced cookies to bake and sell in their store. We were given several constraints for this problem. According to the Woo’s recipes, a dozen normal cookies requires one pound of cookie dough, and a dozen iced cookies requires .7 pounds of cookie dough. The Woo family only has 110 pounds of cookie dough in stock, which will affect the number of cookies that can be made. The iced cookies also need icing, obviously. A dozen of iced cookies required .4 pounds of icing and the Woos only have 32 pounds of icing in stock. There are also limitations for the oven space in the Woo’s kitchen. It can only hold 140 cookies at a time. The last limitation that the Woo family’s problem has is time. The preparation time of the plain cookies is .1 hours, and the preparation time of the iced cookies is .15 hours. The Woo family only has 15 hours to prepare the iced and plain cookies for the oven. All of these constraints decide the number of cookies that you can and cannot have. The second half of the problem was concerning the combination of normal cookies and iced cookies that would give the most profitable result. A dozen of plain cookies cost $4.50 to make and sell for $6.00 and a dozen of iced cookies cost $5.00 to make, and sell for 7.00. So, they make a profit of $1.50 per dozen of plain cookies and $2.00 per dozen of iced cookies. The Woo family knows that they can sell all the cookies they make. The point of this problem was to find the most profitable combination of iced and normal cookies.…

    How to Make the Best Cookie

    My science experiment is identifying the best method for making the most delicious cookie. If I vary the amount of time I refrigerate the cookie dough, then the batch that was freshly baked will be moister and ultimately taste better because the wet ingredients will not have been absorbed yet. To perform this experiment I will need to use three medium sized mixing bowls, an electric mixer, measuring spoons and measuring cups to correspond to the recipe, plastic wrap to cover the refrigerated cookie dough, a refrigerator, a standard sized cookie sheet, an oven, two wire cooling racks, four large Glad brand tupperware, ten taste testers, ten questionnaires and pens, graph paper for recording the data. This experiment will require me to bake four different batches of cookies: two batches of chocolate chip cookies, and two batches of sugar cookies. I will not vary the ingredients of the batches, however I will vary the procedure in which I make the dough. For the sugar cookies, I will make one batch of dough (Sugar A) and refrigerate it for 48 hours. I will also make one batch of dough for the chocolate chip cookies (Chocolate A) and refrigerate it for 48 hours. After the 48-hour period is over, I will the make the remaining two batches (Sugar B and Chocolate B) and immediately bake them. After those two batches are finished I will bake batches Sugar A and Chocolate A. I will then store them in separate, labeled containers and conduct a blind taste test with ten people. I will have my subjects taste Sugar A and Sugar B first and have them record which cookie they prefer and why, then I will have them taste Chocolate A and Chocolate B and have them record which the prefer and why.…
