Pronto Manufacturing Enterprises (PME) assembles electric motorbikes for the Sub-Saharan African market. PME operates a team-based system: A, B and C. Management has set a standard output of 20 motorbikes per team per day. During a confidential 30-day assessment period, management established that team A assembled 20 less motorbikes than team B and team C fifteen motorbikes less than team B. REQUIRED: Given that a total of 1 798 motorbikes were assembled during the period, determine the efficiencies of the three teams. O A. Team A = 103.3%; Team B = 110.0%; and Team C = 93.3% O B. Team A = 84.5%; Team B = 102.0%; and Team C = 87.3% O C. Team A = 83.7%; Team B = 103.5%; and Team C = 85.3% O D. Team A = 98.5%; Team B = 101.8%; and Team C = 99.3%

Susan has worked at Suspenders Ltd for six months and has been appointed a team leader. In the time she has been there, out of the eight members of her team who were there when she joined three have left and one is on long-term sick after having a breakdown. She has to attend meetings of other team leaders and supervisors. At one of the meetings she was told that certain suppliers were to be given ‘special payments’ providing certain delivery and quality targets were met. These were to be paid directly to named individuals and arrangements would be made to pay them in cash. In the records these were to be described as ‘advisory fees’. Susan and her colleagues were told only to deal with these named individuals and no one else. After work her friend Maureen asked Susan if she would like some electrical goods that had been ‘damaged’ in the stores. Maureen revealed that stores staff regularly siphoned off consumer electrical goods and sold them cheaply to staff – suppliers simply…

The case study: Light-As-Air Ballooning System (LAABS)Light-As-Air Ballooning (LAA) is an organisation which operates hot air ballooning on theMalaysian peninsula across from Singapore (the Singapore air-space is too busy and tightlycontrolled to allow free-flying ballooning there). The company has a mixed fleet ofballoons and baskets and a team of pilots to cater for both small and large groups.The five (5) smaller baskets have the capacity to carry up to 10 passengers each; six (6)larger balloons and baskets can carry up to 20 passengers each. This is a relatively newventure for this part of Asia, and the owner of this company, TEO Hong, is keen to see LAAgrow and expand.Flights take place just before sunrise, and can be booked by individuals or groups, or canbe chartered (such as for wedding ceremonies and other special occasions). The largerbaskets are ideal for corporate and social group bookings.As the business expands, Light-As-Air needs a new information system; as the current…

Rubatex Corporation manufactures rubber and foam for a variety of products, including artificial turf housing and insulation, hockey helmet liners, scuba diving suits, sports sandals and mouse pads. The company was purchased by an investment firm called American industrial partners (AIP) that has so far earned only a 1 percent return on its investment. Obviously the company is having problems. Its sales are up but earnings are down. In the first three months after acquisition, the company lost $2 million on $68 million in sales. Understandably, AIP wants to know why and is demanding aggressive action. Employees at the Bedford, Virginia, plant say they know something’s wrong. The plant is hot and dirty and crumbling, and they are working harder to produce items of poorer quality. Fewer than 7 of 10 orders are shipped on time, and 2% of sales are returned as defective. Built in 1924, the plant sprawls over 14 buildings, with only the offices and lunchroom air-conditioned. Equipment is…
List the three main methods of determining performance.
Group of 10 workers were responsible for assembling hotplates (instruments for heatingsolutions to a given temperature) for hospital and medical laboratory use. A number ofdifferent models of hotplates were being manufactured. Some had a vibrating device sothat the solution could be mixed while being heated. Others heated only test tubes. Stillothers could heat solutions in a variety of different containers. With the appropriate smalltools, each worker assembled part of a hotplate. The partially completed hotplate wasplaced on a moving belt, to be carried from one assembly station to the next. When thehotplate was completed, an inspector would check it over to ensure that it was workingproperly. Then the last worker would place it in a specially prepared cardboard box forshipping. The assembly line had been carefully balanced by industrial engineers, who hadused a time and motion study to break the job down into subassembly tasks, eachrequiring about three minutes to accomplish.
