  1. Limited Resources Concept • Modify employee/resource schedules, set a standard schedule and modify procedures for each process step to better utilize resources. • Utilize existing resources that are available on other production lines. PROS • Low capital investment • Higher utilization of existing resources • Fast Implementation CONS • Constraints for resource and employee scheduling

  2. New Mixer Concept • Buy new mixer, modify current dough troughs, and redesign production layout for more room in pre-scaling area. • Add workers to line, revise schedule, and implement work instructions. PROS • Increased productivity of production line • Sustainable solution CONS • Large capital investment • Layout redesign required • Lengthy Implementation

  3. New Trough Concept • Buy new troughs and increase storage area for troughs. Start Pre-Scaling and Mixing earlier in the day. • Produce dough in larger batch sizes. PROS • Improved ergonomics of manual tasks • Increased utilization of bottleneck resources CONS • Medium capital investment. • Constraints for resource scheduling

  4. Quick Fix Concept • Modify troughs and ingredient storage location. Start Pre-Scaling and Mixing earlier. • Implement visual aids and work instructions to streamline processes. PROS • Fast implementation • Improved ergonomics of manual task CONS • Trough modification requires investment • Constraints for resource scheduling

  5. Sustainable Concept • Add additional workers and cross-train existing workers to better utilize bottleneck resources. Revise schedule for resources. • Modify process procedures and implement ergonomic solutions to Pre-Scaling and Mixing processes. PROS • Ergonomic solutions • Better utilization of bottleneck resources CONS • Moderate capital investment • Constraints for resource and employee scheduling

  6. Shared Stations Across Lines Concept • Mixing same types of commercial and frozen cookie dough at the same time. Revise schedule for employees. • Start Pre-Scaling and Mixing processes earlier in the day. PROS • Low capital investment • Fast implementation CONS • Constraints for resource and employee scheduling • Low user friendliness
