Operations Management – WK3 DF

Listed below are topic(s) I would like for each of you to discuss throughout the week. Put your writing into your own words, do not copy directly from the source.

1. Using a process that you are familiar with, identify the bottleneck of the process, identify the drum, buffer, rope of the process. Using the same process, identify conditions that would lead to the bottleneck changing or shifting away from the existing one.

2. Using a process you are familiar with it can be the same as above), explain in terms of a lean system the value added and non-value added (waste) activities. Relate the non-value activities to the eight types of waste shown in Table 6.1. (SEE ATTACHED) Based on the process considerations presented in the text, what ideas/layout changes would you recommend to reduce/eliminate the waste from the process.

Task 1: Create a new discussion topic on or before the due date in the Course Syllabus -> Course Schedule by clicking the ‘**REPLY HERE**’ post below. In your reply, you will post your response to the main topic. Your response should be a minimum of 150 words. Going over the minimum word length requirement is acceptable; however, I am not looking for 500+ words!

Task 2: After you have created your new discussion topic and replied to the main topic, you will read and respond to at least 2 participant responses (includes both learners and instructor). Your main topic response and your participant responses need to be over two or more days. Remember to engage with participants through meaningful and relevant dialogue, which furthers the discussion. Incorporate what you have learned from the weekly reading material and from your own real-world experiences into your participant responses. Don’t forget to use proper APA citations and references whenever necessary
