Question: How serious are FORD'S weakness (in a SWOT) and competitive deficiencies? [200 words or more][Will give thumbs up]

The plant managers of ABC Corporation's five plants have met at a common location at 8:00 am every Monday morning for 20 years. The people serving as plant managers have changed several times during this period, but the meeting has not. Every Monday morning all five plant managers are seated around a conference table in the home office. It is not uncommon for the managers to have no pressing business to discuss and the meeting amounts to nothing more than a Monday morning coffee session. Not only is the meeting inconvenient, but it is also costly, time-consuming, and occasionally interferes with the work of the plant managers. Finally, one of the plant managers had had enough. He decided to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of the meeting. When he presented it at a meeting of the plant managers, ABC's CEO and the other plant managers were shocked to learn that the company could have $50,000 if the managers met only when there was pressing business to discuss.

Discuss the following question:

How does this case illustrate the need to constantly review the status quo and ask "Why"?

Assume that if the product requested is not in stock, it needs to be manufactured
before the order handling can continue. In this way, an order can never be rejected.
To manufacture a product, the required raw materials have to be ordered. Two
preferred suppliers provide different types of raw material. Depending on the prod-
uct to be manufactured, raw materials may be ordered from either Supplier 1 or
Supplier 2, or from both. Once the raw materials are available, the product can be
manufactured and the order can be confirmed. On the other hand, if the product
is in stock, it is retrieved from the warehouse before confirming the order. Then
the process continues normally. After confirming the order, the shipment address is
received and the requested product is shipped while the invoice is emitted and the
payment is received. Afterwards, the order is archived and the process completes.With respect to the above process, use the following report format and provide
necessary discussion under each section:

1. Assumptions & Simplifications
- State all assumptions are made to abstract the system in the conceptual
model.
- Describe any simplifications are made during the abstraction process.

2. Plan of Input Data
- Describe all input data which are required to code your conceptual model
into a computer model. Also, explain which of these data are deterministic
and which are probabilistic and propose probability distributions.
- Explain how to do you plan to collect these input data.

Two questions:

1. Identify the central issue(s) of the case.

2. Outline the facts of the case.

* Below is the case study *

Wings of Fire Case Study:

Following his graduation from college, Tony Smith wanted to continue to live and work in Oxford. However the community was small and there were not a lot of readily available opportunities for a new college graduate. Fortunately tony had some experience working in the food service industry gained in the summers and throughout high school at his uncles’ restaurant in Buffalo. When Tony decided to leverage his experience into a small delivery and take out restaurant located close to the university he thought he had hit on a great idea. Tony would offer a limited fare consisting of the buffalo wings his uncle had perfected at his restaurant. Tony called his restaurant Wings of Fire. Although success came slowly, the uniqueness of Tony’s offering coupled with the growth of the university community made Wings of Fire a success.

Tony’s business was pretty simple. He purchased wings locally, and the wings were then seasoned and prepared in his restaurant. Once an order was received Tony cooked the wings, which were then delivered or picked up by the customer. His establishment was small and there was no place for customers to dine in the restaurant. However his wings proved so popular that over time Tony hired several employees including three delivery drivers. Business was steady and predictable during the week, with the biggest days being the home football Saturdays.

A little over a year ago the city really began to grow and expand. Tony noticed that his business was beginning to suffer when other fast food delivery restaurants opened around campus. Some of these restaurants were offering guarantees such as "30 minutes or its free." Tony’s Wings of Fire now had to compete with fish tacos, specialty pizzas and gourmet burgers. Most of these new restaurants however were dine in establishments that provided carry out and delivery as a customer convenience. However Tony was certain that he would need to offer a delivery guarantee to remain competitive with the newer establishments.

Tony was certain that a delivery guarantee of "30 minutes or its free" could easily be accomplished every day except on football Saturdays. Tony thought that if he could offer a 30 minute guarantee on his busiest day he would be able to hold onto and perhaps even recover market share from the competition. However before he was willing to commit to such a guarantee, he wanted to ensure that it was possible to meet the 30 minute promise

He knew it would be no problem for customers to pick up orders within 30 minutes of phoning them in. However he was less confident about delivering orders to customers in 30 minutes or less. Not only would the wings need to be cooked and packaged but the delivery time might be affected by the availability of drivers. Tony decided that he needed to analyze the opportunities further.

As a part of his analysis Tony decided to take a random sample of deliveries over five different football weekends. Cooking time and packaging time were not considered in his analysis because wings were not cooked for individual orders. Rather, large number of wings were cooked at a single time and then packaged in boxes of 12. Tony therefore decided to focus his analysis on the time required to deliver cooked and packaged wings. He collected information on the amount of time an order had to wait for a driver (the pickup time) as well as the amount of time required to transport the wings to the customer (the driver time). The sampled information is in the file Wings of Fire (ATTACHED). Tony is not willing to offer the guarantee on football Saturdays unless he can be reasonably sure that the total time to deliver a customers’ order is less than 30 minutes on average. Tony would like to know how likely it is that the total time to make a delivery would take more than 30 minutes. Based on the sample data should Tony offer the guarantee? What percent of the Saturday deliveries would result in a customer receiving a free order? What recommendations might help him improve his Saturday delivery times?

1) Saint Gobain High Performance Plastics produces architectural plastics for projects such as radar domes and large pavilion-style architecture. They also produce robust industrial plastics for applications such as conveyer belts in hostile environments such as extreme temperatures, extreme temperature changes or constant exposure to various kinds of radiation. Saint Gobain offers a portfolio of standard products to the marketplace to support customer projects. St. Gobain products are built on a make-to-order basis with an average lead time of three weeks.   Saint Gobain also has the capability to design one-off products to customer specifications; these engineer-to-order products represent a small fraction of the business (less than 10%) but they are high profit margin sales.

Their manufacturing process is highly capital-intensive consisting of three types of equipment:

•           Industrial looms for weaving the substrate weave for their products out of various types of thread. There are a relatively small number of different substrate weave and the each form of substrate weave can be used in multiple products. Set up times and tear down for product change overs for the looms are typically in the range of two hours. Substrate is manufactured in quantities to meet the requirements of the Tower operations and is stores in rolls.

•           ‘Towers’ – five-story high, purpose built machines that are used to apply coatings to the substrate weave and then bake the coatings to create the plastic. Each of the St, Gobain product offerings requires a different coating. Because of the long (on average four hours) set-up and tear down times required for product change overs, these machines produce thousands of yards of product per run which are stored in rolls.

•           Cutting Operations: The rolls are then cut to customer specifications which are provided at time of order. Set-up times for the cutting operations are relatively short; typically less than an hour and the run times for the cutting phase of a customer order is typically less than three hours.

One key customer segment for Saint Gobain is the food preparation industry; they have a line of products that are FDA approved as “cook safe”. To-date these “cook safe” plastics have only been marketed to industrial firms in the food processing business. Saint Gobain has a new opportunity. McDonald’s has invited Saint Gobain to bid on the manufacture of the “grill sheets” that would be used in cooking the hamburgers in every one of the growing network of more than 37,000 McDonald’s restaurants worldwide. Grill sheets are reusable non-stick cooking surfaces that prevent the hamburger patty from sticking to the grill during cooking. St. Gobain’s design engineers have reviewed the specifications and are certain that one of the existing “cook safe” formulations can be applied with only minor changes to the Tower set-up and processing. The specification calls for one grill sheet per grill with a useful life of at least three months in a commercial application. Most McDonald’s restaurants have two grills.

One key requirement of the McDonald’s bid would be that Saint Gobain would commit to same day shipment to McDonald’s 3PL partners for McDonald’s orders.
