ENGR 131—Fall 2013Answer SheetHomework #2 Answer Sheet 5Name:Purdue Login:Section Number:020Problem 5: JIT MEA: Context Setting & Individual QuestionsStep 3List three things you learned about JIT and explain how each is relatedto the problem at D. DaltonTechnologies. 1JIT requires all materials to be delivered on time and promptly with no delays; because, when they’re late, all production is put on hold and so then the customers are put on hold.2DD Technologies uses a small workforce and only one shift in their JIT plan, so there’s no extra shift or situation where they can just work on it later. It could be delayed a whole ‘nother day, which makes the individualized customers upset.3There are many different companies that can contribute tothe final product, for instance Ceramica and Bowman and the third-party shipping company. With all the different data and decisions that go into this company, producing something on a very rigid time schedule as JIT can be a very complicated process.Citations in APA format:Company Profile: D.

For each stakeholder, explain the relationship between the stakeholder, the problem, and the deliverable.StakeholderRelationship of Stakeholderto ProblemRelationship of Stakeholderto DeliverableCeramica Their materials aren’t being delivered on time when they need to beThey have to use the shipping company chosen, so low costs and ease of access is preferable to them.Bowman They need the materials as soon as possible in order to complete the product They are going to have to wait on the shipping company, so they want the one that is the most reliable to be chosen.Customers Theirs is the product that isbeing delayed from production by the unreliable shipping companyThey want the most reliable and fast shippingcompany so their product can get to them as fast as possible.Page 2 of 2ENGR 131—Fall 2013Answer SheetbDescribe five problems that might arise for stakeholders when the engineering team’s solution is implemented.1The company chosen with the most reliable deliveriesmay not be easy to accessor talk to or may have extravagant requirements for shipping, so Ceramica would not be very pleased.2The recent data that was collected from the companies may not give a total picture of that company's past delivery record. A company that had a lucky year might actually have had problems in the past, and so there could still be moredelays now.3D. Dalton Technologies might be paying more money to this new company, and that is not pleasant.4Bowman might not be located close to the normalroute of the new company, and the company might have problems finding or working out how to deliver to the Bowman engineers.5cDirect user:CeramicaPage 3 of 3ENGR 131—Fall 2013Answer SheetdWhat does the direct user need? (Describe the deliverable, its function, criteria for success, and constraints.)The direct user needs a shipping company that candeliver its products to Bowman on time with no unexpected delays, in order to not mess up the “just in time” plan.eList two ideas for why this problem might be complex to solve:1Many different factors impact shipping companies, including road and flight conditions, their laborers’ human mistakes and needs, and a large amount of information to manage. There are many instances for something to go wrong, and one too many unlucky instances can ruin the chances of anotherwise reliable and easy-to-work-with company.2The main sets of data being looked at are the times packages arrived late, but when dealing witha shipping company, other factors should be considered also, including:ease of accessing the company’s service, the packaging materials, the method of delivery, and thecompany’s desire to work with and accommodate DDTechnology’s needs.Page 4 of
