This paper will provide an analysis of 2 production scenarios. We will calculate costs associated with running a production facility. Furthermore, the analysis will be used to provide a basic understanding of how changes in staffing and productivity impact profit and loss.

The company has been functioning well in terms of generating profit and demand so far. However, there will be a 20% increase in demand for the next month of operations as predicted by management, and the production and supply management's problems may come as a problem they can no longer afford.

As a whole the company needs to completely overhaul their current processes and procedures in their supply department in order to address the issues as detailed above.

The company is looking to increase profitability and find a long-term solution to the inventory problem.

Probably increase marketing, promotional and expenses related to discounts in the subsequent year due to “Premier Vision” plan.

In order to meet customer demands for higher product quality, to comply with federally-mandated environmental regulations, and to reduce production costs, HCC must spend $2,000,000 within the next three years to upgrade equipment. The upgrade is expected to result in production efficiencies that will lower material and labor costs by reducing defective products, process waste, in-process inventory, and production man-hours through simplified work processes. It has been over a decade since significant modifications were made to the production facilities. Those changes were mostly technical in nature and did not substantially alter work processes or reduce overall employment. The average productivity gain in the industry for the past five years has been 3% per year. Financing for the loan to purchase the equipment

This may be overcome through supervision and better training to the lower skills employees. By implement these alternatives, material price can be controlled and reduced in future purchases and direct labour costs can be reduced by employed cheaper labour and provide better training to improve their work skills in order to efficient souring of materials and reduced hours per order

On the other hand, we continue to invest in production capacity and automation for each product in order to create a sufficient amount of products to meet market demand. We also invest in total quality management and human resource to guaranty our goods can come up in time and with the great quality.

Being able to increase productivity and revenues has always been the greatest challenge of any manager, and the manager of RL Wolfe, a plastic pipe manufacturer, was not an exception. Because of the low-efficiency percentage RL Wolfe had in comparison to their its competitors, John Amasi, director of Production and Engineering , had no other choice then came up with a new way of improving RL Wolfe production methods.

The next step in the process of this case would be to review all of your possible alternative to your stronger possibilities using common, defined evaluation criteria. This would involve reviewing the planning process for each of the alternatives- examples would be if it; is cost efficient, what would be the timeline for the alternative, what are the goals and objective for the improvement. Using the evaluation criteria we look first at changing some of the products offered and now offering for replicas as options to consumers, this is a time and money consuming option to Fe’nix but could provide long term benefits. Things that will be needed is a factory, machinery, more employees, raw materials, and more. This could end up being a money trap if not operated properly. As for figures on what kind of increase this would cost them there are no income statements or other financial information about Fe’nix available. I do believe establishing a budget to help control any spending if they do go down this road will be

Strategies of our firm In oligopoly market, one important method to increase the market share is to keep the price lower than competitors price. However, because at the beginning of the game, our firm ignored the importance of the plant size, process improvement and the training, our production cost was higher than other firms. So we could not use the

The implementation of this alternative will time consuming if they are lot, you need to give them allotted time.

The main problem is with Woodson Chemical Company is the lack of management and communication across all divisions within the organization creating bottlenecks

If no other investor is convinced of the potential of the edocs business model, CRV will suffer financial damage. First of all, CRV would need to come up with an additional $2M and the news about this failed collaboration will also damage the edocs investment. Therefore, CRV will argue that it needs some measure of compensation for such damages. In addition, CRV could argue that the idea behind the syndication is to give the investment company (edocs) access to a diverse network and to provide a stronger financial syndicate. So in fact, CRV has the best interest of the portfolio company in mind.
