[20 points] The capacity for each process was listed in the case study document‚ and we found utilization by dividing the demand by the capacity. The respective capacity and utilization calculations are listed in the process diagram attached to this document in .pdf form. The wet berry drying process had a utilization percentage

Case: National Cranberry Coop Questions 1. What are the most critical problems facing National Cranberry that Mr. Schaeffer must address? What are some potential causes of these problems? What potential solutions do you suggest? Problems and potential causes: 1. Overtime costs: the root cause of this issue depends on how effectively workers could be scheduled. Workers in this industry tend to have problems with absenteeism. A higher than expected absenteeism would translate to overtime pay

Case Report: National Cranberry Cooperative 1. Analyze the current process. Using the process flow map and the current process at Receiving Plant Number 1‚ mark the capacity and utilization of each of the resources. Show the flows of wet and dry berries separately. The capacity and the utilization of each process in the flow map is calculated and shown below. Utilization is solved by dividing the flow (of either the wet or the dry) and dividing it by the capacity for that particular process. Each

Premium Network performance Question Bottleneck
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

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
