Game BasicsGame BasicsGame BasicsGame Basics We are to adjust key parameters to optimize throughput
and maximize profit Each Hour reflects an actual day of production
– We can modify each hour if we want
We assume plant responsibility for ordering, acceptance of orders, batch size, investment decisions
We operate 7/24 We will start our management tenure on day 51 and
operate for 266 days. The last 100 days will run based on the last settings
This game will run for 9 days Elapsed time

Current StateCurrent StateCurrent StateCurrent State Labor Cost is not a factor Our manufacturing Process if broken down into 4
distinct processes– Board Stuffing (let’s call it surface mount)
– Initial Test
– Tuning
– Final Test
Waiting Queue Size is not an Issue Initial Material Ordered was for 7,500 kits

Order AcceptanceOrder AcceptanceOrder AcceptanceOrder Acceptance We can accept orders but
each batch must be for multiples of 60– If we receive and order for
more than this, we do not have material or capacity, then it will not be accepted can not a
Lead Times– Current Quoted as 7 Days
When accepting Orders– We can accept them at
one of three levels

MaterialMaterialMaterialMaterial Initial on Hand Material
– 7,200 Units
– Material Cost Per unit $10
– All Orders must be placed in Multiples of 60
– Lead time is 4 Days
– Unsure of Initial Inventory when we start game
Holding Period Costs– If not leveraged, 10%
annualized

obtain financing– 20% annual

Day of Take OverDay of Take OverDay of Take OverDay of Take Over The LT factory began production by investing most of its
cash into capacity and inventory. Specifically, on day 0, the factory began operations with
three stuffers, one tester, and one tuner, and a raw materials inventory of 7200 kits. This left the factory with zero cash on hand.
Management is currently quoting 7-day lead times, but management would like to charge the higher prices that customers would pay for dramatically shorter lead times. In addition, because the factory is essentially bootstrapping itself financially, management is worriedabout running out of cash.

of 20 Leave Orders at 7 days for time being EOQ is hard to use as holding
– 2500 Kit at a time
