Introduction
Welcome to the wine cellar business. As Production Manager of the Fine Wine Rack Co., you supervise a small factory which builds custom bottle storage systems. These storage systems, or
"wine racks", have been installed through out the country. Your typical customer is a private wine collector, usually wealthy, who is either building or remodeling a wine cellar to store his or her own collection. Ben Parker, the owner of the Fine Wine Rack Co., closes each deal personally and turns the order over to you to build. The order then becomes a "job" released into your factory, and is usually referred to by the name of the customer for whom it is being built. Ben promises that the job will be shipped by a certain date, although customers are happy to receive their cellars earlier, if possible. For more information on sales and revenue, see the "Financial Information" section of this packet. The Fine Wine Rack Factory is a modest sized job shop located in an industrial park adjacent the
Bayshore Freeway outside San Francis, California. You currently have four crew members staffing the factory: Juan Vasquez (senior employee and master carpenter), Debbie Bates, Mike Parker (the son of your boss, Ben Parker), and Stan ("the Man") Reeves. Your job as Production Manager is to schedule the activities of these four employees, as well as keep them supplied with whatever materials they may need.
