Case Problem R. C. COLEMAN R. C. Coleman distributes a variety of food products that are sold through grocery store and supermarket outlets. The company receives orders directly from the individual outlets, with a typical order requesting the delivery of several cases of anywhere from 20 to 50 different products. Under the company's current warehouse operation, warehouse clerks dispatch order-picking personnel to fill each order and have the goods moved to the warchouse shipping area. Because of the high labor costs and relatively low productivity of hand order-picking, management has decided to automate the warehouse operation by installing a computer-controlled order-picking system, along with a conveyor system for moving goods from storage to the warehouse shipping area Immediate Activity Description Predecessor A Determine equipment needs B Obtain vendor proposals Select vendor AB D Order system E Design new warehouse layout F Design Warehouse G Design computer interface H Interface computer D,F,G 1 Install system DF J Train system operators H K Test system 1,J 1 1900 Optimistic Activity A B D E 6 2 8 7 Time (weeks) Most Probable Pessimistic 8 8 16 6 24 13 8 6 20 8 14 4 H 1 4 6 J K R.C.
