Purpose
In this project, you will understand the importance of the control function in a manufacturing business. You will compare actual performance with desired production standards, measure progress toward company goals, and address deviations in performance through corrective action.
Outcome Met by Completing This Assignment
Develop measures and assess outcomes against plans and standards to improve organizational effectiveness.
How to Set Up the Paper
Create a Word or Rich Text Format (RTF) document that is double-spaced using 12-point font. The final product will be 5-6 pages in length, excluding the title and reference pages.
Create a title page with a title, date, course number and section, your name, and the instructor's name.
Scenario
The following chart displays the results of the first year's production of the, Lacks Tracks Cycles, an electric-powered chopper-style motorcycle produced by Lacks Tracks Cycles to compete with Harley-Davidson's Electra Glide. The metrics table below was created from data supplied by Lacks Tracks Cycles five (5) plants. The purpose of the table is to provide data for management to decide what controls and actions are needed to increase production efficiency.
You recently joined the Lacks Tracks Cycles' headquarters staff as a quality assurance associate. Your manager has requested you to analyze the first year's motorcycle production results. This information will be used by management to evaluate and improve overall production efficiency.
Lacks Tracks Cycles is known for producing high-quality products at reasonable prices. They plan to compete against Harley's top-end model by developing superior production efficiency that will allow them to price significantly below Harley Davidson's Electra Glide model.
The chart below lists the desired production standards and the actual production metrics for each stage of the electric motorcycle's manufacturing process that must be completed to determine the overall production efficiency at each of Lacks Tracks Cycles' five (5) production facilities.
A comparison of the production standard to the actual production outcomes using all the relevant metrics allows management to determine which of its facilities is the most efficient producer of the electric motorcycle. This knowledge will help Lacks Tracks Cycles' management team to determine what controls need to be put into place at their various production plants to match the production efficiency of their most efficient plant. More efficiency means higher production at lower per unit (cycle) costs.
