this is regarding a visit to a jelly belly factory

[shalini_samuel08]

Exhibit 1-5 of your text diagrams a general value-chain. Ignoring “customer service,” if you were in charge of identifying both excess costs and incorrectly measured costs at Jelly Belly, which two functions would you like to examine more closely? Based on your observations, specifically why did you pick those two functions? What do you expect you might find? Can you identify any potentially non-value-added activities at any point in the process

[jackthehat]

Were you not listening to your teacher ?

[NazNomad]

Ok ... since you were there, and we weren't ...

What were your observations?

[boxtops]

You joined tonight, for this complex question?

[cazzz1975]

we do not have text diagrams to refer to.

D-

[boxtops]

Since we can't see Exhibit 1-5 of your text diagrams, we have no idea which functions are specified there. Sounds like two sides of A4 to me.

[NazNomad]

"Sounds like two sides of A4 to me".

You mean four sides of A5? Tsk, you oldies and your ''spreadsheet ways''


lol xx

Where is this Jelly Belly Factory? Perhaps I could sell them mine!

[Prudie]

We'd need to see the functions (processes?) so we could pick 2 for starters.
What's a Jelly Belly?

[NazNomad]

Jelly Beans

[boxtops]

Two sides of A4 is a perfectly sensible back-to-back reporting format naz - I'm not making a flyer! :-)

[boxtops]

Look folks, we can all go to the Jelly Belly Factory! http://www.jellybelly...ia_factory_tours.aspx

[Prudie]

Thanks Naz
Well I'd look at costs of ingredients and costs of staff?
Haven't you done 5C, 6S or 8W techiques?

[Dagman]

I love Jelly Belly jelly beans

[sherrardk]

If we go to the Jelly Belly factory do we get any freebies?

[denis567]

It looks as though the Jelly Belly Factory is in the USA, so not much chance of me going on my pension !!

[dotty.]

I would look at supply and raw ingrediants,

[DTCwordfan]

the two functions I would examine are firstly your sanity for posing such a question on this site

and secondly, what loon bins may exist in your neighbourhood.

As to potentially non value adding activities - this very question is not adding any value to society at large.....indeed I would argue for negative value.

Errm

A) Manufacturing and Business Planning
B) Picked them at random
C) Errors
D) Yes

Quiet at the back please!

I think this is primarily extremely non-PC thread. This is an affront to people with quivering bellies..Based on my observations. and the diagrams 1 - 5 I feel that to give rise to the rumour that there is a factory that actually produces jelly bellies, like mine, for a price is beyond the pale. I shall refrain from visiting this thread from now on.
