Wally’s Widget Warehouse takes orders from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The manager wants to analyze the process and has provided the following process flow diagram. There are three steps required to ship a customer order. The first step is to take the order from a customer. The second step is to pick the order for the customer, and then they have to pack the order to ready it for shipping. Wally promises that every order placed today gets shipped tomorrow. That means the picking and packing operations must finish all orders before they go home.

Wally wants to figure out the following:

1. What is the current maximum output of the process assuming that no one works overtime?

2. How long will the picking and packing operations have to work if we have a day where the order taker works at his maximum capacity?

3. Given b, what is the maximum number of orders waiting to be picked?

Case Study

Terror at the Taj Bombay: Customer-Centric Leadership

The night of November 26, 2008, 10 armed individuals from the terrorist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (Army of the Righteous) entered the western-Indian city of Mumbai (formerly Bombay) to attack pre-determined locations, including the Taj MahalPalace and Tower (Taj Bombay). Over three nights and two days, terrorists killed 159 people and wounded 211 across the city. Of these, 34 people died and 28 were injured during the three-day siege of the Taj Bombay. The attacks, which became known in India as “26/11”, had a dramatic and lasting impact on the Indian national psyche.

However, the Taj Bombay received praise in the aftermath of the attach- specifically from hotel guests-for the quick-thinking actions of hotel staff to ensure the safety of hotel guests at the expense of their own personal safety. In addition to managing the emotional and psychological challenges of moving forward after the loss of employees and extensive physical da1nage to the hotel, senior executives wondered if the Taj brand would survive. Images of the Taj Bombay under attack were reprinted in newspapers and shown on television news stations worldwide. Executives had to decide when -and if -to re-open the hotel, whether to continue to use the Taj brand name, and what message to send out to consumers. The risk was to be viewed as insensitive by either avoiding the tragedy completely in their messages to the public or being seen as taking advantage of public sympathy in talking about the tragedy, and in deciding the right time to return to "business as usual" at the Taj Bombay.

1. What specific actions do you take in both the short-term and long-term in rebuilding the Taj brand name?
2. What would you do to recover from "being the living image of the terrorist attack" as Ratan Tata describes it? Is this even possible?
