I. Time Context
The business problem of Bose’s Mexico Plant was determined when the demand
for their products called by the market. In short, the business problem will have
variety of solutions under different planning, raw materials and technical
environment.
II. Viewpoint
The main problem of the Bose's Mexico plant is the lacking of their inventory that
may cause a delay in manufacturing department to produce the products.
III. Statement of the Problem
Early on in Bose – United printing relationship, Bose's Mexico plant had a spike
in production. This demand called for the printing of $45,000 worth of products in
a very short time. Here was a great opportunity to make a buck! The inventory
was almost zero. This was no time for competitive bidding or old school methods.
IV. Objectives
To produce the demanded products in a short period of time.
 Should have clear detailed plan and well trained employees assigned in
manufacturing the products.
 Should make inventory at full.
 Should meet the quota in everyday production..
V. Areas of Consideration / analysis
There are two main issues found in the Bose’s Mexico Plant, the time and
inventory that is needed to produce the products. In the due date of the products
wherein they need to moves faster toward the demand. For it to happen, the
company need a skilled-full employee or workers. Moving fast at pressure
without defects and reduce cost and increase productivity is one of the skills that
an employee should have. Also the inventory of the business manufacturers is
lacking. For it to solve, the company should have a easy to pick up suppliers of
the raw materials especially in the times wherein the demand of product is in rush.
VI. Alternative Courses of Action
To be able to solve the insufficiency of inventory, the in-plant needs to borrow
enough stock from Bose's Ireland plant to keep Mexico going. Bose will not
spend $45,000 for product. The production line will not shut down. The product
was revised. At the time of the new printing, the borrowed product was replaced
with the new version at a lower unit cost because all demands were included in
this production run. In-plants can formally or informally meet with Bose’s
engineering and marketing teams and attend planning meetings. In exchange in-
plants place orders for their firm’s products at pre-specified standard prices,
ensure that these parts are to be delivered at right time and at right place and in
conformance to specifications, and to provide trouble-shooting assistance. JIT
allows customers and suppliers to work together closer than they ever did before.
VII. Recommendation
The company should apply the proper forecasting.
The company should power the customer and supplier relationship.
The company should secure and continue the partnership with the other supplier.
The company should trained the employees to work faster with a quality and cost
effective.
VIII. Conclusion
The business should apply the proper forecasting of problems before finalizing
the decisions wherein it is a part of planning. Though borrowing stocks from other
partner or such we called supplier can make the desired product demand achieved,
the company should still be aware of the possible demand for the products
because it is not always in the same case that the supplier can have enough stocks
for your needs. In short, planning, training and partnership should be maximize.
Bose’s Mexico Plant
The United Printing in-plant still maintains an office in the Bose advertising department,
with access to worldwide demands, constantly searching for efficiencies and cost
reductions. The in-plant also places orders with manufacturing, and processes all the
paperwork. Because the standards are already set, the task becomes one of eliminating
duplication and errors, and maintaining a seamless direct-to-stock flow of printed
material to Bose plants around the world. Bose wants material when it is needed, not to
sit in a warehouse. Responding to constantly changing production schedules without
creating costly inventory, or even worse shutting down the line with late shipments, is
United Printing's challenge.
