Capacity Concepts in Operations Management
Question
A company that is in the business of producing make-to-order cakes advertises itself as offering the “Quickest Make-to-Order Cakes in NYC”. Orders arrive randomly and the company’s objective is to fulfill them on the same day. After investigating their operations, an MBA student that hasn’t taken Operations Management is astonished about the fact that the utilization of the firm’s manufacturing process is only 60%. The student thinks that it does not make sense to have their main asset so highly unutilized. Based on what you learned in the class and on the firm’s business strategy (expressed in their ad), the low level of utilization can be explained with which of the following statements.
a) The objective is to maximize the capacity of the bottleneck.
b) The objective is to improve demand forecasting.
c) The objective is to reduce lead time in the manufacturing process.
d) The objective is to reduce product variety.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
The most fascinating thing is how they actually respond to quick demand. It was a classic mistake! The actual deadline of my ratio analysis assignment was on 16th and I mentioned to them that it is 26th. Just when I had pinged them on 14th, they instantly delivered me the accounting homework by 15th evening. I was so relieved and thrilled to get a A in the same.
John Stanford Student
The reference material and notes provided by the online electrical engineering tutor assigned to me by HwA was exactly what I was looking for. Keeping up with the course load is difficult enough without having to run from pillar to post searching for research material. The online electrical engineering tutor at HwA made my work much easier by providing me high quality reference material which met the specifications given by my professor.
Morgan Walters Student
The care and patience with which the online Labor Economics expert at HwA guided me through the assignment topic was simply amazing. She was always ready with the solutions to my queries and incorporated any suggestions that I made into the Labor Economics Assignment essay. It was just the guidance I needed to write my Labor economics assignment.
Noel Saunders Student
I was clueless about the way in which I was supposed to approach my research dissertation paper till I came across the team of HwA. I was also not sure whether they could help me or not but to my surprise they started asking the right kind of questions to me. When I clarified them with my professor, she was impressed and told me that I understood the concept of the research dissertation.
Denise Hutchins Student
Operations management was my minor during my MBA but I faced much challenges with the problems and assignments. So once when I was stuck with my supply chain management assignment my friend Joan told me about this website. The feedback I got from them was very positive and the assignment was also very well done. All the calculations and the charts were displayed in proper manner and from then onwards I constantly took help from them.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
