23 Jul DISCUSS THE NEED FOR TEMPORARY WORKERS IN THE DRAWING DEPARTMENT.
trainee at Mexicana Wi Show more Mexicana Wire Works Ron Garcia felt good about his first week as a management trainee at Mexicana Wire Winding Inc. He had not yet developed any technical knowledge about the manufacturing process but he had toured the entire facility located in the suburbs of Mexico City and had met many people in various areas of the operation. Mexicana a subsidiary of Westover Wire Works a Texas firm is a medium-sized producer of wire windings used in making electrical transformers. Carlos Alverez the production control manager described the windings to Garcia as being of standardized design. Garcias tour of the plant laid out by process type (see Figure 7.20) followed the manufacturing sequence for the windings: drawing extrusion winding inspection and packaging. After inspection good product is packaged and sent to finished product storage; defective product is stored separately until it can be reworked. On March 8 Vivian Espania Mexicanas general manager stopped by Garcias office and asked him to attend a staff meeting at 1:00 P.M. Lets get started with the business at hand Vivian said opening the meeting. You all have met Ron Garcia our new management trainee. Ron studied operations management in his MBA program in southern California so I think he is competent to help us with a problem we have been discussing for a long time without resolution. Im sure that each of you on my staff will give Ron your full cooperation. Vivian turned to Jos Arroyo production control manager. Jos why dont you describe the problem we are facing? Well Jos said business is very good right now. We are booking more orders than we can fill. We will have some new equipment on line within the next several months which will take care of our capacity problems but that wont help us in April. I have located some retired employees who used to work in the drawing department and I am planning to bring them in as temporary employees in April to increase capacity there. Because we are planning to refinance some of our long-term debt Vivian wants our profits to look as good as possible in April. Im having a hard time figuring out which orders to run and which to back order so that I can make the bottom line look as good as possible. Can you help me with this? Garcia was surprised and apprehensive to receive such an important high-profile assignment so early in his career. Mexicana Wire Winding Inc. Questions 1. What recommendations should Ron Garcia make with what justification? Provide a detailed analysis with charts graphs and computer printouts included. 2. Discuss the need for temporary workers in the drawing department. 3. Discuss the plant layout. Source: Professor Victor E. Sower Sam Houston State University.
