Abstract
This case deals with a division of Rosemount, Inc which has concerns about meeting customer delivery requirements. While the delivery problems result from long lead times throughout the ordering, production, and delivery process, the focus of this case is within the manufacturing plant. The goal set for the case protagonist, Mike Severson, is to reduce the production cycle time from 5 days to 3 days. Students must determine the problem within the plant, analyse the logistical behaviour of products through the plant, and suggest areas for improvement.
