The processes formed by the previously mentioned components are part of a superior process; where a small change in demand impact the number of products that need to be manufactured. Once that number changes, the total number of products to be delivered varies, affecting the distribution system directly by altering hours and dispatch rate consistency.
Certainly generating any change within the components will consequently affect all of the others, whether it is economic, logistics, or quality standards. Indeed an accurate communication system must be established among all the supply chain process participants. Independently to the fluctuation among the product demand, the changes made by the production must accordingly adjust with facilities, delivery systems, and routes of distribution. Adapting to these possible changes generates opportunity towards a sustainable competitive advantage and profit maximization.
3. Description of Simulation Stoppages to Supply Chain
The Cincinnati Seasonings simulation provided us with several opportunities for operational management development. The next few paragraphs will provide a record of the problems our group encountered while running the simulation. We first ran
