Milestone 2 Instruction.
Milestone 2: Manufacturing or Service, Production/Resource Scheduling & Inventory Management
In this second phase of the capstone component, develop the manufacturing or service related requirements necessary to support introduction of the new product or service. For the manufacturing product scenario, you will create a manufacturing and inventory plan that addresses the following:
Production Process Flow Chart
Manufacturing Systems Supply Chain
Utilization Capacity Plan
Inventory Management Strategy
Resource Staffing Plan
This component shall be accompanied by a 12–15 (including charts and/or graphs) page report detailing the rationale behind each of the major items outlined in the manufacturing/service plan. This will include the detail to support each constituent of the plan and any calculations or graphics that fully depicts the overall plan.
note: I already made this milestone
feedback for the first attempt:
Be sure you are editing your work. It was hard to follow some areas, including the inventory approach. ABC is fine as an inventory approach, but the reason for it was not clear. The capacity plan does not boost the capacity of the company. Be sure to re-review this concept in your operations textbooks. The example you provided does not identify the capacity constraint you have at PBM. What about the capacity of machine hours available? How much machine time is available for the 4000 machine you identified based on the need to produce the 4oz liners? You can make whatever assumptions you need to and put together a potential capacity plan.
For the 2nd feedback:
The prior feedback from the milestone 2 has not been incorporated into this component. Again, the writing is difficult to follow. Without better clarity, the statements included do not make sense. The flowchart should be redone per the prior feedback. The actual capacity should be calculated rather than an example. I would recommend reaching out to your advisor if you need some writing assistance.
