Problem 29 Hend oversees a two-week (10 working days) Lean consulting project. The team starts with a meeting that sets off the project in which Nabhan, Saif, and Marwan are assigned to carry out concurrent tasks. Nabhan is sent to the GEMBA to create A VSM. It usually takes 7 days to achieve that but due to the Corona Virus outbreak, it could take 9 days. The best VSM was done by Mariam in 5 days. Saif is in charge of collecting customer demand information in 6 days. It was done in 3 days, but it may take 7 days. Afra will be waiting on the VSM to start wastes eliminating process which should take 3 days. If Afra pushed herself, she could make it in 1 day, but there is a chance she may take 5 days. Majed will take the demand information to create set the best working timing. Should take 3 days but being optimistic he can do it in 1 day, pessimistically speaking, he needs 5days. Dana then takes the data of the waste elimination process and the working timings to report the findings. The report should take 2 days but Hend wants to relieve that pressure and accounts of 3 days. Dana promised the report will be ready in one day. The report will be sold to the client and end the project. Marwan is leading the second sub-team to achieve the pull-leveling by sending Hamdah to study the facility layout in 4 days. It could be 2 days but could take up to 6 days with the COVID lockdowns. Remas is then assigned to use the data of facility layouts and the final report from Dana to design supermarkets. Remas thinks she can finish the design in 5 days but she most likely needs 6 days, Hend thinks it may take 8 days due to the COVID. The final report and presentation communicated to the client and conclude the project. - 9 a).
