Paper details:Capacity Management Simulation Writeup
The simulation writeup is a GROUP assignment. Take the position that you are CONSULTANTS brought in by Littlefield Technologies to solve their problem(s) and outline an OPTIMAL strategy. Assume you are back at day 50. (I am NOT interested in what you did right or wrong – I want you to write the report telling Littlefield what they SHOULD do going forward.)
1) Clearly state the problem Why was your consulting team brought in?

2) Based on the data available (and having played the simulation), what is the optimal strategy for Littlefield? Be sure the information you include is CLEARLY understandable to the reader. (What should the company do if you were back at day 50 looking at the next 218 days.)
You may want to start with describing the “complex demand pattern.”
You should include how have you analyzed capacity of each machine.
You also need to justify the purchasing of machines so that the lead time remains under one day. Perhaps you will want to describe the data you need to make your decisions (such as understanding utilization, queues, and lead times). You should also show graphically what is happening to the utilization rates, queues, lead times, and revenue to justify your decisions. Remember, if you are asking Littlefield to spend between $80,000 – $100,000 on a machine, your data better be pretty convincing.
3) Be sure to summarize your recommendations in a table.
