Description
CASE DESCRIPTION This is a field researched case about a failing plywood plant in East Kalimantan, Indonesia during the plywood manufacturing boom in that region. The research team had full access to the plant manager. The purpose of this case is to introduce students to the considerations in decision making in operational process improvement in accordance with capacity constraints and market conditions. This case is intended for use in an upper-level undergraduate Operations Management course early in the term and can be used as a scenario for discussion of capacity management. Students are expected to spend 2 to 3 hours of outside preparation reviewing concepts of capacity analysis, reading the case materials and brainstorming process improvement options. The instructor should advise students to pay attention to the particular relevance and importance of the bottleneck step in process capacity. The case can be taught in one 75- minute class period.
