CASE STUDY:

Sports Gear Team is a medium-sized company that produces sports clothing for a wide range of sporting clubs. Quiet times during the past few years have seen cut-backs on the hours of operation and some staff losses. Scott, the operations manager of the manufacturing section, has an operational plan in place to handle the current and anticipated orders for this financial year.

Scott has two supervisors that report directly to him and each of them has 15 staff with a direct reporting line. The factory runs a single shift of eight hours per day 7.30 am to 4.30 pm five days a week for their existing sports clothing line. They are at 100% capacity with the existing 30 staff and equipment. To achieve higher production, more staff and equipment would be required as each current employee is already achieving their individual production target.

Sports Gear Team has been announced as the sole supplier of supporters' clothing for the Australian Football (Soccer) Team and their next World Cup campaign, which will be in three months' time. The company will need to produce 51,000 pieces of T-shirts within six weeks. New staff needs to be hired and new equipment needs to be purchased/hired to meet the new production demands. One screen-printing machine can produce 340 shirts a day. One screen-printer will be required to run one machine.
