Process flow diagram of the cookie-making process: Me Mixer Me Spoon and tray Roommate Oven and tray Oven and tray INPUT OUTPUT Roommate Oven and tray Tray Roommate Roommate Remarks: Since it does not consume any time, the first step, that is to take an order, is here ignored. Inventory is not kept at any time as the cookie dough is continuously being processed by the dozen to fit the bottleneck's capacity and only produce fresh cookies according to placed orders. 2. We assume the following: The minimum amount of cookies per order is one dozen cookies (the case states that the process produces “cookies by the dozen”). There are at least two trays and spoons, as the case mentions “cookie trays” and “spoons” Since the amount of time necessary to unload the oven is considered “negligeable”, it can be done during the same minute used to load the next batch. In this view, the first order takes 26 minutes but each following batch only requires an additional 10 minutes (see Gantt chart 1 attached). Capacity of resources (dozen cookies per hour): | Me | Roommate | Mixer (1) | Trays (2) | Spoons (2) | Oven (1) | Cycle time | 8mns/unit | 4mns/unit | 6mns/3unit = 2mns/unit | 15mns/2units = 7.5mns/unit | 2mns/2units =1mn/unit | 10mns/unit | Capacity | 7.5/hour ...

Therefore two orders can be prepared simultaneously which would minimize the time required for the second order. It would no more require twice as much as time as for the first order. It can be done in the following way: Time taken for preparation of a single order can be divided into 3 parts: Pre baking Baking Post baking 8 minutes 10 minutes 8 minutes 2. How many orders can you fill in a night, assuming you are open four hours each night? if someone can get the tray ready for the second order while the first order is in the oven for baking, it would save 8 minutes of time for the subsequent orders. Because when the first order is already in process in baking, the pre baking session for the second order will take place for 8 minutes, thus these 8 minutes have been saved. But it has to undergo both baking and...

...Chapter I Introduction Business is a part of modern society. It is an organized and systemized activity for profit. It is concerned with activities of people working towards a common goal. The modern society cannot exist without business. Baking is a food cooking method that uses prolonged dry heat by convection, rather than thermal radiation, normally in an oven, but also on hot ashes, or a hot stones. The most common baked item is bread but many other types of food are baked. Heat is gradually transferred “from the surface of cakes, cookie and bread to their centre. As heat travels trough, it transform batters and dough’s into baked goods with a firm and dry crust and softer centre”. Baking can be combined with grilling to produce a hybrid barbeque variant by using both methods simultaneously one before the other, cooking twice. Baking is related to barbequing because the concept of the masonry oven is similar to that smoke fit. Baking has been traditionally done at home by women for domestic consumption, is the backbone of modern y man in bakeries and restaurants for local consumption and when production was industrialized, by machines in large factories. The art and skills of baking remains a fundamental one and important for nutrition, as baked goods, especially breads, are a profession called a baker.

...load the second tray in Oven for the next order at 20th min. And also, the second order can be taken at the 10th min after loading the first tray in the oven. So the subsequent sets can be completed in 37th, 47th, 57th minute and so on. So, in 4 hours, 17 + 10N = 240 (4 hours) N = 22.3~22 orders Hence a total of 22 orders can be filled in 4 hours. Two oven are available, How many mixer are need to maximize production Case 1: Each order consist of one dozen cookies Since each order consists of only one dozen cookies, mixing and spooning of the second set can be done only after mixing and spooning first set. Assume that first set of cookies are baked in oven 1 and second set in oven 2 and subsequent cookies in alternate fashion. First set: The first set of cookies can be completed in 27 mins Second set: Second set of cookies can be mixed after spooning the first set i.e. mixing the second set can be started at 10th min. The second tray can be loaded in the oven at 18th min, consequently completing the second set of cookies at the end of 35 mins. So it means that an additional time of 8 mins is required for completion of second tray. Third Set: Similarly, third set of cookies can be mixed after spooning the second set i.e. at the 18th min. The third tray can be loaded in the oven at 26th min, consequently completing the third set of cookies at the end of 43 mins thereby, again accounting for additional 8 mins to complete the tray.

"No," she muttered to herself; she had a multitude of big decisions to make. Amy wondered, "If I decide to expand, can I do it successfully? Can I find another trustworthy manager, like Toy Kim Dupree, to help me manage the staff and maintain bread quality? Can I find expansion;space in Manhattan? Should I close our current location and expand to a much larger space, thus eliminating the need to manage two locations? Should I look for a locationfor my wholesale production, or a space that would provide both retail and wholesale opportunities?" Amy's Bread, founded in 1992, served about 50 wholesale customers, including some of the finest restaurants, hotels, and gourmet food shops in Manhattan. Amy's Bread also had a waiting list of more than 30 wholesale customers from other quality restaurants, hotels, and shops.Amy thought, "I really want to meet their needs and accept their business, but any further production expansion in my existing space is impossible. I know I can't produce one more loaf without hurting bread quality, which is absolutely unthinkable! We are already working three shifts, and there is no more room for additional equipment."Amy worried that some of the customers on her long waiting list were on the brink of turning away.

KCC is positioned to be successful if it can continue to effectively deliver on all of its order winners. COOKIE PRODUCTION The production process for making the cookies is shown in the process flow diagram in Exhibit 1. Since the time to preheat the oven is omitted from this case, the total processing time for the first batch of one dozen cookies is 26 minutes. If a mistake is made on one of the batches of cookies, it will set KCC back by a minimum of 25 minutes. When the first batch is put into the oven to bake, Kristen can clean the mixer, mix the next batch, and spoon the cookies onto the next pan before the first batch is finished baking; thus they will be ready to bake as soon as the first batch comes out of the oven. As soon as her roommate removes them from the oven to cool, she can place the next batch in the oven. While the first batch is cooling, the second batch is in the oven baking....
