ittlefield Simulation #1: Capacity Management Team: Computronic When the simulation began‚ we quickly determined that there were three primary inputs to focus on: the forecast demand curve (job arrivals‚) machine utilization‚ and queue size prior to each station. Specifically we were looking for upward trends in job arrivals and queue sizes along with utilizations consistently hitting 100%. Upon initial analysis of the first fifty days of operations‚ the team noticed that Station 1 had reached

The first was to avoid stock outs which had already occurred in the first 50 days. We quickly moved to avoid stock outs

April 8‚ 2013 Group Report 1: Capacity Management The following is an account of our Littlefield Technologies simulation game. The account includes the decisions we made‚ the actions we took‚ and their impact on production and the bottom line. Day 53 Our first decision was to buy a 2nd machine at Station 1. We did not have any analysis or strategy at this point. Nonetheless‚ this turned out to be a wise investment‚ since Station 1 was in danger of becoming a bottleneck in production

Managing Customer Responsiveness at Littlefield Labs Background Littlefield Laboratories (LL) has opened another lab. The new lab uses the same process as the lab in the assignment “Capacity Management at Littlefield Labs” — neither the process sequence nor the process time distributions at each machine have changed. On day 0‚ the lab began operations with three preparers‚ one tester‚ and one centrifuge‚ and an inventory of 160 test kits. This left the lab with $1‚000‚000 in reserves. Customer

Before the simulation started‚ our team created a trend forecast‚ using the first 50 days of data‚ showing us that the bottleneck station was at Station 1. On day 50 of the simulation‚ my team‚ 1teamsf‚ decided to buy a second machine to sustain our $1‚000 revenue per day and met our quoted lead time for producing and shipping receivers. On day 97‚ we changed Station 2’s scheduling rule to priority step 2. We noticed that the bottleneck was not just at station 1‚ but at all stations‚ and that buying

Once the group was notified of a change that needed to be made‚ we would all decide together through a group text. After we all decided that the change was a good idea‚ we would let the team member who was in charge for the day know and he made the appropriate changes to the station. This proved to be our success in running the simulation; all team members

Round 1 of Littlefield Technologies was quite different from round 2. We started the game with no real plan in mind unlike round 2 where we formulated multiple strategies throughout the duration of the game. Starting off we could right away see that an additional machine was required at station 2 to handle the dual processing load from station one and three. We purchased a machine for station 2 as soon as we gained control over the factory. Looking back now I can see that this could have been a risky
