    Our team analyzed their process for Littlefield game #2, concluding they should increase the reorder point but were unsure if another machine was needed. They started by limiting work-in-process to see if another machine was truly required. After several days of high queues for machine 1, they adjusted work-in-process limits and increased contract values and lead times from $750 for 3 days to $1000 for 1 day to improve performance compared to other teams.

    LITTLEFIELD GAME #2 WRITE-UP Prior to the start of Littlefield game #2, our team analyzed our process specifically

    the queues, the machine utilizations and the Work In Process. We came to the conclusion that we should increase the reorder point to 50 but we were not sure if there was a need for another machine 1. Therefore, we started by limiting the WIP to see if there was a real need for a machine purchase. We also decreased the lead-time to 3-day contracts because we were not confident we were able to handle 1 day contracts. After a few days into the game, we noticed that kits queued for machine 1 was really high so we adjusted the WIP. Following those adjustments, we were still not performing better than the other teams; in this sense, we decided to increase our contracts from $750 to $1000 with a 1-day leadtime and increasing the WIP.
