Abstract

This case is intended to be used in conjunction with Rebar Steel Limited - Background Information 9A94D007, which gives common background information for each of the four cases: Rebar Steel Limited (A)-(D) 9A94D008, 9A94D009, 9A94D010, and 9A94D011. In the (A) case, about five months after starting up the melt shop, the plant manager faces a problem: the melt shop process is being delayed because of delays in reconditioning ladles. The plant manager has to decide what to do about a request to purchase additional ladles. Students have to analyze the process to decide what the role of ladles is.
