April 8‚ 2013 Group Report 1: Capacity Management The following is an account of our Littlefield Technologies simulation game. The account includes the decisions we made‚ the actions we took‚ and their impact on production and the bottom line. Day 53 Our first decision was to buy a 2nd machine at Station 1. We did not have any analysis or strategy at this point. Nonetheless‚ this turned out to be a wise investment‚ since Station 1 was in danger of becoming a bottleneck in production

Littlefield Simulation Write-up December 7‚ 2011 Operations Management 502 Team 9 Littlefield Lab We began our analysis by searching for bottlenecks that existed in the current system. It was easily identified that major issues existed in the ordering process. Without calculations‚ you could tell the reorder point was too low since the historical plots showed inventory levels at zero for two or more days at a time. The number of jobs in customer orders showed correlating spikes at the same

their opinions of the policy among others. Faculty was interviewed on their thoughts and how the policy helped with the classroom. Administration helped with the reasoning behind implementing the policy and some hints to phase outs of the computer labs located in the college of business. We found that students believed that the policy is not effective‚ but should be enforced. For faculty‚ some believe that the policy is helpful for learning and welcome laptops in the classroom while others feel

Littlefield Simulation 2: Occupylittlefield With our second littlefield simulation complete‚ we have reinforced many of the concepts and lessons learned in class. We had a better understanding of the operation of the littlefield facility and how certain modifications would affect the throughput and lead time. Though we are pleased with our final results compared to the rest of the class‚ we see there is still room for improvement. We made many mistakes‚ but most importantly we have learned from

Before the simulation started‚ our team created a trend forecast‚ using the first 50 days of data‚ showing us that the bottleneck station was at Station 1. On day 50 of the simulation‚ my team‚ 1teamsf‚ decided to buy a second machine to sustain our $1‚000 revenue per day and met our quoted lead time for producing and shipping receivers. On day 97‚ we changed Station 2’s scheduling rule to priority step 2. We noticed that the bottleneck was not just at station 1‚ but at all stations‚ and that buying

Managing a Short Product Life Cycle at Littlefield Labs Background In early January‚ Littlefield Labs (LL) opened its first and only highly automated lab to test blood samples. LL receives the samples from local hospitals and clinics and processes the samples using disposable kits. After 360 days of operation the lab will cease operations‚ shut down‚ and dispose of any remaining kit inventories. Neither capacity nor inventory has a salvage value after the lab shuts down. Marketing has sketched the
