Dear CEO: At Riordan, the electric fan division has revised the process for supplying the electric fans. Part of Riordan’s operations planning, Riordan would implement aggregate operations. From Operations Management for Competitive Advantage (2006), “Aggregate operations planning involves translating annual and quarterly business plans into broad labor and output plans for the intermediate term of 6 to 18 months. Its objective is to minimize the cost of resources required to meet demand over that period.” Riordan would start to collect data starting from the beginning of the fiscal year. The data would be collected throughout the months to help determine implementation plans. Part of the total quality management for the electric fans would be to implement the eight steps to be successful. From The Eight elements of TQM (2012), Riordan would apply, “ethics, integrity, trust, training, teamwork, leadership, recognition, and communication,” within its training and everyday workday routines. The process uses a viewpoint that strengthens the power of performance within planning, management, leadership, and design department. These departments have initiated improvements. By implementing the process to the management and staff, Riordan would have an easy workflow. Riordion Manufacturing looks forward to hearing any opinions and concerns regarding the new development for processing of distributing the electric fans.
Thank you for your time in advance, Best Regard, Learning Team A Team A will present a proposal package for Riordan Manufacturing Company’s electric fans. This proposition analyzes the importance of the MRP in regard to the fans. In addition, a newly created process design for the production of the electric fans, and a

    As a part of Riordan’s new total systems process design, it is imperative that we examine our present stable supply chain process for the manufacturing of electric fans at our plant located in Hangzhou, China. The current supplies available for retail and wholesale purchase in the China plant consist of electric fan motors, fan parts made from plastic polymers, and assembled fan units. The motors are purchased from a local Chinese company as completely assemble unit and are stoked for purchase (University of Phoenix, 2012). Local suppliers are also used to purchase the plastic polymers that are used to make various fan parts. The production schedule of the assembled fans is a portion of the make to stock operation. It is presently designed to accommodate forecasted sales. The assembled and packaged fans are available for distribution and customer pick up.…

    Mistral was one of the prominent companies in the electrical manufacturing industry. They received numerous awards for the design on the Mistral Gyro Aire, which was introduced in 1968. In January of 1988, a house in Melbourne caught on fire killing two children, causing a public warning about the faulty fans by the coroner’s court. The fire started with a mistral fan, and an investigation following the incident exposed a history of poor regulatory control. Before this incident Mistral had supplied a hospital with 40 fans which were assembled from parts of older units and two of the fans caught fire. During 1977-1978 Mistral recalled the fans but they failed to mention anything about the fire risk. By 1985 Mistral had evidence of 52 fan-related fires before them but chose to ignore it. Following a change in ownership two times Mistral warned the public to “destroy the old fans.”…
