Explanation of Solution

Determine the variable that is not an input variable:

In the production of pizza, the amount of dough required to make the pizza, type of cheese required, and the oven’s temperature are input variables. Input variable is the type of variable, which would be under the control of the management.

When the pizza was delivered to the customers, the after process would not be an input variable. As time that the customer leaves the pizza in the refrigerator would occur after the customer purchases pizza, it is not an input variable.

Hence, option (d) is correct and options (a), (b), and (c) are incorrect variables.

A local fast-food restaurant processes several customer orders at once. Service clerks’ cross paths, sometimes nearly colliding, while they trace different paths to fill customer orders. If customers order a special combination of toppings on their burgers, they must wait quite some time while the special order is cooked. How would you modify the restaurant’s operations to achieve competitive advantage? Because demand surges at lunchtime, volume flexibility is a competitive priority in the fast-food business. How would you achieve volume flexibility? What are the potential downsides of relying too heavily on automation and standardization in this industry? What data would you want to gather, if any, before making recommendations?
