I would review our corporate strategy and look at the progress of achieving our objectives. I would assign a team to analyze our current processes and evaluate them in order to discover areas that are doing well and areas that require improvement. We could then decide how to solve these problems while also continuing to reach our objectives. I would employ constraint management and the theory of constraints in order to identify factors that are limiting our systems performance and are restricting output. The theory of constraints would be utilized to increase our profits by improving and speeding up workflow. A team would be assembled to manage constraints and adjust the processes to be less constrained with shorter setup times. The Drum-buffer-rope system can help regulate and control flow so production does not get backed up and the manufacture of our soup and cracker products can run more efficiently.
