Scheduling Requirements at the Good Time Wine Rack As Production Manager, you must complete a weekly activity schedule for each of your four employees to follow. As described previously, somebody makes parts, parts become racks, racks and trim get inspected and turn into cellars, and cellars get packed. When figuring out exactly who is doing what, there are two issues that you must be aware of: 1. Is the employee qualified to do the activity assigned? 2. Does the employee have available what the employee needs to complete one hour's worth of the activity assigned? If you make a mistake... Suppose an employee is assigned an activity that he or she is not qualified to complete. Instead of completing that activity, the employee will be IDLE for that time. As soon as you assign something the employee can do, the employee will begin working again. Should you assign a qualified employee a particular activity during a particular hour, but there aren't enough materials available at the beginning of the hour to complete an entire hour's worth of that activity. The employee will instead be IDLE for the entire hour. In addition, the employee will continue to attempt that activity the next hour, and the next, until the necessary materials show up and he or she is successful at completing your request. In essence, the employee's entire work schedule is "pushed back", or delayed, by that idle time. Note how this differs from the "unqualified" case. The simulator will attempt your instruction for up to five hours before abandoning the original activity and continuing on to the next hour's instruction. How to code your schedule... There are essentially eleven different tasks that might be assigned to an employee of the Good Time Wine Rack Company each hour. To schedule your employees, you need the information on the following two tables. Table 2 is a "Quick Reference" Table, so that you can convert instructions into numerical code in a glance. Table 3 is the key to success at the Good Time Wine Rack Company: it tells you all the important information needed to schedule a successful week, including current inventory position and product structure information.
