Premium Cooperative Time Truck
National Cranberry Cooperative In early 1981‚ at the National Cranberry Cooperative’s receiving plant number 1 (RP1)‚ overtime costs are too high and delivery trucks and their drivers have to wait several hours to unload. The trucks have to wait because the plant’s holding bins fill up and there is not temporary storage. The holding bins fill up because within the cranberry operating system there is a bottleneck‚ a place in the production process where production slows down because of a slow or

METHODOLOGY 3.1 Research Design Figure 1: A flow diagram of Kemmis and McTaggart action research model (2000). The research design used for this study is based on an action research design. Action research is defined as a research strategy that is put into practice by teachers to investigate a problem or area of interest specific to their teaching practice environment (Coats‚ 2005). Action research aims to achieve social change by producing data that support strategic action for change (Mountz

NATIONAL CRANBERRY CO-OPERATIVE CASE STUDY * Nishi Sharma In 1971‚ National Cranberry Cooperative faced recurring operational problems that affected the productivity and relationship of NCC to growers. This analysis will discuss how NCC can improve its operation before the peak-season comes in. The analysis was based from facts cited in the case‚ using tools such as but not limited to process flow diagram‚ cost‚ benefit and utilization analysis‚ and work-force scheduling.

National Cranberry Case Report All Excellent Team Summer 2012 Memo By calculating implied utilization of every process‚ we found that the drying process for wet berries is a bottleneck ofRP1. Utilization of dryers is 180%!!! (comparing to 8~48% of other processes‚ it is so problematic). Because of this bottleneck‚ 480 bbls of wet cranberries are not processed per hour on an average “busy” day (17‚280 bbls arrive over the 12-hour period). As a result‚ our temporary holding bins are full

Problems facing receiving plant No. 1 (RP1) The problems that The National Cranberry Cooperative is facing with are described in the table below. Mostly they are related to the problem of capacity. Problem | Implications | Presence of bottlenecks in the stages of drying and separating of berries. | Excessive overtime costs. | | Overcapacities in other stages of processing of berries. | 2.

is‚ and the processing divisions start four hours after the receiving division‚ the truckers toward the end of the day will have to wait‚ since the cumulative backlog caused by processing will exhaust the bin storage capacity. The wait times for the truckers can be reduced by converting some of the dry bins to wet bins. However‚ this measure will not completely eliminate the trucker wait times. The best solution is to acquire one additional drying unit and advancing the processing shift from 11AM
