Problem #3 A, B, C
Baking dog treats in her kitchen has been a simple process for Emma to manage. She has two ovens, one sink, a refrigerator, and enough room for two people to work at the same time. However, when Emma moves her business out of her home, she will have a commercial kitchen that can accommodate as many as six people working simultaneously. She had never thought of her business as “production” until the real estate agent who showed her the space asked how many production workers she needs to accommodate. At that point, Emma realized she would be running a production system. Even worse, she realized that she had never even visited a manufacturing facility or set foot on a real production floor. How will she ever manage this process?

Tim Rowe owns a small trucking firm that specializes in local and metro-area delivery in large city in the United States.All employment activities are handled by Tim who has always hired employees on the basis of three qualifications:1. They must have a high school diploma;2. They must pass a short paper-and-pencil test which is given to all applicants; and3. They must have a valid driver’s license if applying for the position of driver.The short test is interesting, as it was devised by Tim from sample questions found on a GED (General Education Degree) Equivalency Test. The test consists of 33 vocabulary and mathematical questions, each worth 3 points. Anyone scoring below 70 is automatically rejected.Last month two drivers quit, so Tim advertised in the local paper for two new drivers. Ten people applied for the openings, but Tim rejected four applicants because they were not high school graduates. Three others were rejected because of test scores below 70.
