Operations Management

PLEASE PROVIDE ONLY YOUR PERSONAL OPINION TO THE FOLLOWING POST!!!

In scheduling, the production plan is key. Knowing your inventory, employee capability, and the production deadline are all key factors that go into scheduling these contracts. In the simulation, it was hard to balance the different contracts with different priorities, and realizing what could be done in the amount of time we had to produce the product. Once you get the balance of the contracts it was easier to see them through. I think the most important thing to pay attention to was the deadline of the contract. If the items can’t be shipped by the day they’re needed, they shouldn’t be charged for shipping.
