  1. Jones Manufacturing Company Aicha Thiam, Daniel Pugh, Nathan Palmer, Jamie Munger, and Douglas Ashburn MBA 513

  2. Current Process Map

  3. Solution A • Reduce lot size…. Changes the cycle time but not enough • The problem is with the “informational downtime” involved with moving the parts: work orders, scheduling, etc… • Introduce a “load- and go-” system

  4. Solution B • Same chaotic movement of the forklifts around the factory • Solution: • Create an “assembly-line” setup in the unused space

  5. New Process Map

  6. Pros: • Increase to capacity does not require more forklifts/drivers • Cost per bracket would be reduced • Cons: • Time to establish new system may exceed time allotted • Reduced flexibility for the Small Parts Manufacturing Facility • Final decision is strategic.
