Three Jays Corporation Case Study
Brodie has decided to call your team in as consultants to help him with this project.
Prepare a technical report assessing the performance of the current inventory/production management system and suggesting improvements addressing the concerns raised by Ms. Fremont, as well as the questions listed below. Feel free to suggest any additional opportunities for improvements in these systems you can identify.
1) Identify the mechanism by which an inventory replenishment (i.e., a production run) is initiated for an inventory item. Is there a single, consistent mechanism for this? is the EOQ-ROP system that described to Brodie actually in use? If not, what is?
