Stanford University Graduate School of Business rev. August 2004 Managing Customer Responsiveness at Littlefield Technologies Background Littlefield Technologies (LT) has developed another DSS product. The new product is manufactured using the same process as the product in the assignment “Capacity Management at Littlefield Technologies” — neither the process sequence nor the process time distributions at each tool have changed. On day 0‚ the factory began operations with three stuffers‚

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

MGT 9702 – SERVICE OPERATIONS I LITTLEFIELD TECHNOLOGIES – OVERVIEW Littlefield Technologies (LT) produces Digital Satellite System (DSS) 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 machines at these stations cost $90‚000‚ $80‚000

Littlefield Labs 1 Capacity Management at Littlefield Labs I. Introduction There are 3 stations in the game called sample preparing‚ testing‚ and centrifuging‚ while there are 4 steps to process the jobs. Before the game started‚ we tried to familiarize with the process of the laboratories and calculating the costs (both fixed and variable costs) based on the information on the sheet given. We did not intend to buy any machines too early‚ as we wanted to see the demand fluctuation and 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
