Littlefield Simulation II Based on our success in the last Littlefield Simulation‚ we tried to utilize the same strategy as last time. Our goals were to minimize lead time by reducing the amount of jobs in queue and ensuring that we had enough machines at each station to handle the capacity. We wanted to keep the lead time between .5 and 1 day in order to get the maximum amount of revenue per job. We utilized data from the first 50 days and put it in an Excel chart to forecast the demand for the

Littlefield Technologies Game 2 Strategy – Group 28 1. CUSTOMER ORDERS AND ORDERS WAITING FOR MATERIAL: When considering the demand level and changes‚ we would configure a time series of that data using short range forecasting. Time series are important because they are often the drivers of decision models. Trend projection and regression analysis models will be used to forecast the future demand as the growth of the demand increases at a lower level‚ increases to a higher level‚ and then decreases

ittlefield Simulation #1: Capacity Management Team: Computronic When the simulation began‚ we quickly determined that there were three primary inputs to focus on: the forecast demand curve (job arrivals‚) machine utilization‚ and queue size prior to each station. Specifically we were looking for upward trends in job arrivals and queue sizes along with utilizations consistently hitting 100%. Upon initial analysis of the first fifty days of operations‚ the team noticed that Station 1 had reached

Stanford University Graduate School of Business September 2007 Littlefield Technologies: Overview Introduction Littlefield Technologies is a job shop which assembles Digital Satellite System receivers. These receivers are assembled from kits of electronic components procured from a single supplier. The assembly process consists of four steps carried out at 3 stations called board stuffing‚ testing and tuning. The first step consists of mounting the components onto PC Boards and soldering

Executive Summary Our team operated and managed the Littlefield Technologies facility over the span of 1268 simulated days. Our team finished the simulation in 3rd place‚ posting $2‚234‚639 in cash at the end of the game. We did intuitive analysis initially and came up the strategy at the beginning of the game. And then we applied the knowledge we learned in the class‚ did process analysis and modified our strategies according to the performance results dynamically. We have reinforced many of the

Managing Customer Responsiveness at Littlefield Labs Background Littlefield Laboratories (LL) has opened another lab. The new lab uses the same process as the lab in the assignment “Capacity Management at Littlefield Labs” — neither the process sequence nor the process time distributions at each machine have changed. On day 0‚ the lab began operations with three preparers‚ one tester‚ and one centrifuge‚ and an inventory of 160 test kits. This left the lab with $1‚000‚000 in reserves. Customer

the science lab. In science‚ we would participate in a lab. One of my favorite labs was the owl pellet dissection. Owl pellets are owl throw up. In owl pellets you can find the bones of animals the owl consumed. In this lab we were to take out the bones we found in the pellet and construct the animal we found inside. Most people‚ like me‚ had a sort of rodent‚ but some people found birds in their pellet. Another one of my favorite things we did in science was the Sharpie tie dye lab in fifth grade

Round 1 of Littlefield Technologies was quite different from round 2. We started the game with no real plan in mind unlike round 2 where we formulated multiple strategies throughout the duration of the game. Starting off we could right away see that an additional machine was required at station 2 to handle the dual processing load from station one and three. We purchased a machine for station 2 as soon as we gained control over the factory. Looking back now I can see that this could have been a risky
