Abstract

The owner of The Cat''s Pyjamas must decide whether to increase production. The case provides excellent task analysis, process and system analysis. It is oriented toward quantitative evaluation although qualitative issues (the labour force) are present. There are many trade-off issues. Specific issues are: (1) designing the production process; (2) equipment purchases; (3) materials purchases; (4) inventory carrying costs; (5) scheduling; and (6) cottage industry versus factory setting.
