OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT ASSIGNMENT 1 Case 2 (30 marks/approximately 750 words). Aki had just called a meeting of the Technical Institute Programs and Music Committee to order. "Okay, okay, everybody, quiet down. I have an important announcement to make, he shouted above the noise. The room got quiet and Aki started again, "Well, everyone wanted a big J- rock band for the concert. We have scored on Despairs showing up." Everyone in the room cheered and started talking excitedly. Aki stood up, waved his arms, and shouted again, Hey, calm down, everybody, and listen up. The room quieted again and everyone focused on Aki. That is the good news, the bad news is they will be here in 21 days." The committee groaned and seemed to share Dai's feeling when he shouted No way, man. It can't be done. Why can't they put it off for a couple of weeks so that we can prepare better? Aki answered, "They're just starting their new tour and are looking for some warmup concerts. They will be travelling near here for their first concert date in Tokyo and saw they had an email from us, so they said they could come now-but that's it, it's now or never. He looked around the room at the solemn faces. Look, you guys, we can handle this. Let's think of what we have to do. Come on, perk up. Let's make a list of everything we have to do to get ready and figure out how long it will take. So somebody tell me what we have to do first!"
