In the Phase 3 Discussion Board, you developed some tentative ideas about what you expected to find when you arrived in Oregon. Here is some more information you have obtained from management: Facilities P and T both claim that parts from the S facility sometimes do not arrive on time, causing costly production shutdowns that periodically lead to missed contractual ship dates.The S facility has records that those same parts were loaded onto trailers and that the semitrailers left on time.Facility S habitually runs out of the accessory parts, which are shipped from the T and P facilities.There have been recent instances where over seven shifts of production from a single molding machine have been defective due to a malfunctioning mold.Similar quality problems have occurred when the wrong plastic resins have been used for some molded parts.Work-in-process (WIP) within the stamping department is sometimes misplaced or lost, disrupting downstream manufacturing processes and leading to missed shipments to the T and P facilities. Upon arriving on site and interviewing the production- and inventory planning staffs at all three facilities, you hear the following:Facility S claims that there have been instances where they have been over one day ahead of their shipping schedule for specific parts and that the T and P facilities were still claiming they were out of that part. Then, the missing parts were located in a still-loaded semitrailer in the yard adjacent to the P and T facilities.The production- and inventory-planning staff at the T and P facilities claim to be shipping the accessory parts to the S facility on a JIT (just-in-time) basis and that their shipments should be adequate to support the S facility’s requirements on a level production plan.The small quality control group at the S facility points out that it does not have the equipment or training to perform quality checks to the same level that facilities P and T are able to perform.Due to recent economic conditions, only a single supervisor is available in the stamping department and in the molding department during midnight shifts and on weekends. In 850–1,200 words, each member of the group must summarize his or her findings and develop recommendations for the Supervision at the plants. Compile your individual findings and recommendations into a Word document, and submit the file.Be sure to reference all sources using APA style. I set the due date at 10/26 by 11 pm CST but I can push it back to 10/27 @12pm CSTPlease let me know you are able to assist me..
