Discussion 3

lthough sustainable operations have many benefits for organizations, consumers, and society, they also come with many business risks. In this discussion, you will explore sustainability operations of major organizations to reflect on what they are doing well, the benefits their sustainable operations may bring, and the potential risks associated with their sustainable operations. In evaluating the risks and benefits of prioritizing sustainability, you will also learn the importance of justifying organizational priorities, which will assist you in completing the first section of your course project.
First, take some time to explore a few different organizations’ sustainable operations statements on their websites.
You may explore organizations you are familiar with or use the following:

Demand Management Plan

I will provided the orginal paper highlighed with problem areas as well as proffesor feedback.
These are the orginal directions:
Prepare a 7-page demand management plan, including a forecasting, inventory management, and scheduling analysis, as well
as recommendations, for a provided scenario.
Introduction
This portfolio work project, a demand management plan, will help you demonstrate competency in forecasting, inventory
management, and scheduling.
Scenario
Wild Dog Coffee Company, a locally owned company with a single coffee shop location, serves a wide selection of espresso
beverages, small breakfast and lunch menu items, and a limited evening menu. The company is planning to expand the business
by adding an additional location. While different menu items may be tested at the new location, their core processes will remain
the same. You have been working on a process improvement in preparation for the expansion and are now turning your attention
to demand management.
Your Role
As an owner of Wild Dog Coffee Company, you and your business partners are planning the opening of a second location. You
need to prepare an analysis and recommendations for demand management, including forecasting, inventory, and scheduling, for your current location, so you can refine the model before opening the second location.
Requirements
Include the following in your demand management plan: Assess the impact of advertising on product demand.
If using Wild Dog
Coffee Company, the following basic assumptions will help you prepare a demand forecast:
The other owners of Wild Dog Coffee Company handle the business’ marketing and sales functions, and they believe that
advertising expenditures impact the sale of coffee beverages. They want you to confirm whether or not their advertising dollars
are driving sales. Here is what was agreed upon by all the owners:
Wild Dog Coffee Business Information
Questions Responses
How many espresso beverages are made each hour? 30, on average
How many ounces of espresso beans are used for each beverage? 1.5 ounces
How many hours per day is the coffee shop open? 6:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m., Sunday–Saturday
How many days each month is the business open? 364 days per year. The coffee shop is closed on Christmas day.
You have the following six months of data to work with for pounds of espresso beans (y) used each month and monthly
advertising expenditures (x):
Espresso Bean Use and Advertising
Month Lbs/Beans (y) Advertising Dollars (x)
1 987 $1,050
2 1,412 $1,500
3 1,020 $1,000
4 1,140 $1,250
5 1,322 $1,500
6 1,399 $1,500
Interpret the forecasting model for the selected product.
Use a simple linear regression model to show your forecast.
If using Wild Dog Coffee Company, forecast the pounds of espresso
beans needed for month 7 if the advertising budget for month 7 is $1,350. Interpret the model and respond to the following
questions for Wild Dog Coffee Company:
How many espresso beverages will the company need to prepare, on average, each
day?
How many pounds of espresso beans will the company need, on average, each day?
To what extent do advertising dollars
predict the need for espresso beans?
Prepare an inventory management analysis for the selected product.
In your analysis, include two different approaches to inventory management. What are the pros and cons of each system you
analyzed?
If using Wild Dog Coffee Company, the following provides additional information you have gathered from the inventory management analysis:
Since Wild Dog Coffee Company is small, the company must manage inventory very carefully. While larger companies can have lots of inventory on the shelf, Wild Dog simply does not have the cash to do that. As such, you have a
number of pressures for small inventories. Wild Dog does not have the ability to store a lot of beans, to cover the cost of capital,
or to withstand unnecessary expenditures for taxes, insurance, and shrinkage. Shrinkage is important because roasted espresso beans only maintain their optimal freshness for two weeks.
Demand is approaching 1,400 pounds of espresso beans per month.
Only one type of espresso bean is stocked.
Demand is not constant on a daily or weekly basis.
If you run out of espresso beans
at any point, you will have to close the business until the next shipment of beans arrives.
Espresso beans are shipped in
25-pound packages. (This is your base inventory unit.)
The cost per pound of beans averages $9.00.
Espresso beans are
delivered seven (7) days after placing the order and on any day of the week.
Shipping is free on orders over $250. Otherwise,
shipping is $19.95 per order, regardless of weight. (This is the only ordering cost you incur.)
Holding costs are 10 percent/year/
unit.
Analyze the business’ scheduling managem
ent. In your analysis, detail two different staffing scenarios for Wild Dog Coffee Company or your selected business. What are the pros and cons of each staffing scenario?
Use a Word table or Excel spreadsheet to show both staffing scenarios for each day of
the week. Include the daily and weekly total staffing costs and number of hours worked for each employee.
If using Wild Dog
Coffee Company, the following provides additional information you have gathered from the staffing analysis:
Shifts have been
scheduled according to who wants to work which shift. This has generally worked out well, but you realize you need to tighten up the scheduling process in order to optimize a staffing model. Two employees are required to make a coffee beverage. One
employee takes the orders, and a barista makes the coffee drink and hands it to the customer.
Baristas are paid $14/hour,
regardless of whether they are full-time or part-time.
Full-time employees (up to 40 hours/week), other than baristas, are paid $12/hour.
Part-time employees (up to 20 hours/week), other than baristas, are paid $9/hour.
All full-time employees receive company benefits that equate to 15 percent of their hourly rate. (This is known as a benefits load.)
All full-time employees are paid at 150
percent of their regular rate for all hours worked over 40 hours per week. Full-time employees can only work a maximum of 50
hours per week. The benefits load is not applied to overtime hours.
All part-time employees are paid at 150 percent of their
regular rate for all hours worked over 20 hours per week. Part-time employees can only work a maximum of 26 hours per week.
It costs $500 to hire each additional employee, and it costs $250 to terminate an employee.
Full-time employees are likely to resign
if moved to part-time status.
The coffee shop is open 84 hours per week. There are two additional hours allocated each day for
one employee to perform opening and closing activities. (That is, one hour is allocated for opening duties and one hour is
allocated for closing duties.)
Your current level of staffing for coffee beverages is as follows:
Baristas – 1 full-time; 3 part-time.
Non-barista – 1 full-time; 2 part-time.
Recommend an inventory management system and staffing plan for a selected business and product.
Detail the results of your
analysis for Wild Dog Coffee Company or your selected business’ product to substantiate your recommendations.
Deliverable Format
Requirements:
The demand management plan is to be a minimum of 7 pages, not including the title, reference, and appendix pages.
Related company standards:
The demand management plan is a professional document and should therefore follow the corresponding MBA Academic and
Professional Document Guidelines (available in the MBA Program Resources), including single-spaced paragraphs.
In addition to the title and reference pages, include the following in the appendix:
Linear regression model for product forecasting.
Word table or Excel spreadsheet for staffing scenarios.
Use 2–3 scholarly or academic sources, where applicable, one of which must come from the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, or MIT
Sloan Management Review.
Use APA formatting for citations and references.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies through corresponding scoring guide criteria:
Competency 1: Analyze how operations management theories and models effect the development and delivery of products or
services to the marketplace.
Interpret the forecasting model for the selected product.
Competency 2: Use logistics and supply chain management tools to manage the distribution of products and services.
