Imagine you have just been appointed Vice-President of Operations for a manufacturing company. Almost all orders from customers require customization: few customers order standard products.

You know the company has problems, which include:

A warehouse full of finished products that no one buys. (On the other hand, all the employees are kept busy all the time, whether there are orders or not).

The company invested in two pieces of machinery (computer-numerical control) that cost millions of dollars, but the company isn't getting the productivity that was promised.

Product quality is low: many orders are filled by reworking items from the warehouse to match the customer's specifications.

Inventory costs are very high.

There are workstations with half-finished products piled up waiting for someone to do the next step of work, and others that are kept busy with make work.

What things need to change, and what steps would you try, to fix this operation?

This assignment applies what you've been learning. You can go back and refer to slides, notes, etc. What I want is your best thinking about this business problem.
