Stanford University Graduate School of Business Aegust 2009 Littlefield Technologies Implements Pull Manufacturing Background In early January, Littlefield Technologies opened a new production line for an established model of its Digital Satellite System (DSS) receiver. recently embraced Lean principles and they are making a transition to puill manufacturing in their factory. To facilitate this strategy, Littlefield has built a website which offers production capacity to customers when it becomes available in the factory Littlefield’s management has Their system of visual control consists of uniquely numbered card packs that track 60- unit orders. As each order arrives, it is assigned to an available card pack. When there are no card packs remaining, Littlefield withdraws its production offer from the website until an order completes and its card pack becomes available for the next order. By choosing the total number of card packs in circulation, Littlefield sets the maximum work-in-process (WIP) inventory in the factory Although actual day-to-day demand will vary somewhat, the expected demand for DSS receivers will remain steady. Littleficld anticipates their pull strategy will turn away some demand, but they are certain that lost demand will not justify the purchase of additional production capacity. You should not purchase or sell any production machines. Your team has been hired to manage the transition to pull manufacturing. While Littlefield’s website has been working flawlessly, their factory is becoming worrisome. Lead times are increasing and revenues are decreasing. At the rate things are going it will be only a matter of days until the factory begins to operate at a loss. Management hopes you will be able to set things right. They have only two metrics for success cash on hand when the factory shuts down and your overall contribution to their knowledge. Operations Each order for 60 receivers is paired with a numbered card pack. You may release the order into the factory as one production lot of 60 kits, two lots of 30 kits, 3 lots of 20 kits, or 4 lots of 15 kits. Each lot receives a card from that order’s card pack. To change Littlefield’s lot size please click the Edit Data button in your Customer Order pop-up window. Production lots travel independently through the factory and no order is shipped until all lots that make up that order are complete. A production lot advances to the next step only after all the kits in that lot are complete Based on a document written by Sunil Kumar and Samuel C.

The purpose of this report is to determine if itwould befeasible for a business to offer telecommuting as an option for employees.
For the executive summary, there should be four paragraphs. Include a brief summary of the introduction and background (one paragraph), the potential benefits (one paragraph), the potential disadvantages (one paragraph), and the conclusions and recommendations (one paragraph)
When bullets are used, do not include an extra space. For example:
The employees work independently as per their schedule.
In the Conclusions and Recommendations, your main focus will be:
When is telecommuting feasible (and for what types of businesses) and when is it not feasible (and for what types of businesses)? It is perfectly fine to say that telecommuting can work for virtually any business if done correctly.
Steps of implementation. Should a business decide to move forward with additional telecommuting options, what would a good first step be? What would be a good second step? And so on.
In terms of the section headings, I would suggest:

You have been asked to prepare a speech for Sally Badawi, Executive Officer of BCCC, to deliver in response to the Mayor’s ‘NewBilby’ speech (see the Bilby Shire Council website or the week 7 briefing ). Badawi’s speech will be BCCC’s acknowledgement of the Mayor’s strategic directions for NewBilby, and will reveal the BCCC’s proposals, as well as announce the contract for BuildStrong Constructions to start building permanent housing for the Sudanese resettlement program. The speech will be given at a public meeting held to review the economic future for Bilby. It should be approximately 500 words, and in appropriate tone and language for Sally Badawi to
deliver.
Review Sally Badawi’s video on the BCCC website, as well as her radio interview on 3BBR (Bilby’s community radio station), to develop your approach. This is a persuasive speech to convince the town residents that Bilby can develop social / economic sustainability through the resettlement program and other community events such as a multicultural Food Fair held at the Autumn Gold Festival.
