ACC 202 Baylor University Roberson Robotics BF 365 Outsourcing Component Worksheet
ANALYTICS PROBLEM8-35. Evaluating an Outsourcing Decision (L03) Several years ago, Roberson Robotics outsourced component BF-365, a key component of many of its products. At the time, CFO Sam Summers concluded that outsourcing was the correct decision, but she decided to revisit that decision after overhearing some conversations on the factory floor and in the cafeteria. Based on these conversations, she has gathered information about the materials quantity variance for the part, as well as on-time delivery information of the part from the supplier and on-time delivery of the finished products to customers. Roberson Robotics uses a just-in-time inventory system, so it receives multiple shipments of BF-365 each day.Summers has asked you to examine the data and provide insights about the continued desirability of outsourcing component BF-365 .Required:a. Prepare a scatterplot of late deliveries from the supplier and a scatterplot of missed customer delivery dates. What do you learn from these graphs?b. Calculate the percentage of late deliveries from the supplier and the percentage of missed customer delivery dates.c. Calculate the proportion of unfavorable materials quantity variances. How has the proportion of favorable to unfavorable variances changed over time? What do you infer about the quality of the outsourced component BF-365?d. What other information would you like to examine before providing your insights about the outsourcing decision to Summers?

Project Communications and Risk Management
Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Scenario: Amazing Coffee Houses (ACHs)Company Biography Amazing Coffee Houses (ACHs) is a small but established company in the coffee industry. It is based in northern Chicago, IL and employs over 100 workers locally in its 10 stores. Its current Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chairman of the Board, Sam Ryder, founded the company back in 1994 with his wife, Gloria Ryder. Gloria has served as the company’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) since it was founded. Both Sam and Gloria graduated from the #1 ranked MBA program in the country and bring a lot of corporate experience to the business. Sam was a Senior Vice President (SVP) in Marketing and Sales at another company for many years before deciding to venture off to start ACHs with his wife. Gloria also worked for that same company and held the position of Finance Director. The company is known for its own brand of gourmet coffee and low fat donuts, as well as for their own line of stainless steel coffee mugs that are able to keep drinks hot for 12 hours straight. The workforce is comprised mostly of bakers, managers, baristas, greeters, clerks, and cashiers. They also work closely with several large suppliers and distributors in the United States.ProblemThe company has a loyal customer base throughout Chicago and is known for its personalized service and quality food and drinks. Because the economic conditions have greatly improved throughout the United States and the company now has a well-established name and brands, ACHs is looking to expand in markets beyond Chicago. The first market it has made a decision to expand into is 81 miles away, Milwaukee, WI. The company has worked through a local real estate agent and was able to strike a great deal on a 10-year lease in a great location. Management thinks Milwaukee is where the next 10 stores will be opened. However, Sam and Gloria have never operated a multi-state business before and are worried they will fail to accomplish their expansion goal timely. Sam has made it clear to Gloria that one day, his vision is to take ACHs to every city in America.OpportunitySam has no project management experience and has decided to hire a project manager to manage the expansion project in Milwaukee, WI. After thorough evaluation and dozens of interviews, they have asked Jim Young, a rising star at the company, to take on the role of project manager to lead a team of five people from different departments to create a project plan for the new site. Jim Young currently serves as a store manager for the biggest two coffee shops. Prior to this role, he worked as a store supervisor for the company. During his time with the company, he has worked on many of the new shop development projects as a team leader and helped to renovate some of the company’s existing shops. People in his business units speak highly of his leadership and coaching style. Though Jim has worked on project teams and supervised functional departments, he has never acted as the project manager before. He knows there are a lot of moving parts in managing a project. He is worried about his ability to lead a new team of people with whom he has never worked before. He is concerned about his lack of experience and knowledge to manage the entire life cycle of a project from start to finish within budget, quality, time, and scope. In previous projects, he remembers Sam and Gloria having differences in budget, scope, and resource allocation, which caused a lot of confusion among the project team members and vendors. Jim is also concerned that their personal relationship will interfere in this project.You will be working with Jim Young as a project team member with four other professionals in the company. You have only worked at ACHs for 4 years. Prior to your tenure at ACHs, you worked as an associate project manager for a construction company on the West Coast. You have worked on many different projects and are familiar with project management terms, methodologies, tools, and techniques. You earned several certifications relating to project management including a PMP and have an MBA in logistics. Although, you have never worked with Jim Young or anyone else on the new team, you are very excited about the opportunity to make a difference. Project Background DetailsAmazing Coffee Houses (ACHs) is a coffee shop that will be located in Milwaukee, WI. We have been able to purchase our own building within the city near Milwaukee’s top tourist attraction site near the Gold Rock Museum. The building is not renovated. Our market analysis of Milwaukee, WI indicated the city is the top city for coffee drinking in WI. Because we’re close to the city’s museum, we plan to become the top destination for local and American and foreign customers who visit Milwaukee each year. Our customers will have a wide range of coffee flavors to choose from including dark roast to light roast as well as specialty flavors throughout the year. They will also enjoy freshly baked low-fat donuts that aren’t available anywhere in the state. ACHs will hold true to its vision and mission of providing customers with a premier café experience. By creating a new twist for the café experience, ACHs will increase sales by more than $125,000 over the next three years and maintain a gross margin of 70%. The shop is 5,500 square foot of open space. Our plan is to have 2 bathrooms, a coffee bar, and enough tables to seat at least 50 customers. This is a coffee shop that also makes and sells donuts. The renovation must account for all that is needed to get the shop ready for both coffee and donuts. The project has an initial budget of $650,000. It is now January and Sam and Gloria would like the new location to be up and running no later on July 4th. Note: The example companies, organizations, products, people, and events depicted herein are fictitious. No association with any real company, organization, product, person, or event is intended or should be inferred.Additional InformationJim asked you to join him to present the team's leadership discussion to Sam and Gloria. The meeting got a little heated, but nothing went beyond your control. Overall, the meeting went very well. You addressed your concerns, highlighted some key problem areas that were shared by the rest of the team, and connected everything back to how their actions are impacting the success of the project. They now realize that their behaviors and actions are putting the project at risk along with many project risks you and the team have identified.They were also pretty embarrassed with the type of behaviors they displayed in the meeting as the company leaders. Both Sam and Gloria were very receptive to the ideas that you presented to them. In fact, so receptive that they both said they see a lot of leadership potential in you."We are both sorry about the whole ordeal. We will both work together to control our emotions and not let it take over us again," says Sam."Yes I agree. I will approve the project budget, but to ensure everyone is on the same page and that project risks are managed properly, we need to see a simple project communication plan and a risk register. We need to understand your approach better going forward," says Gloria.Jim turns to you, handing you a template for both the risk register and the communications plan. "You have done such an excellent job throughout this entire project. Would you be willing to complete these plans?""Of course." you say. "Because of this incident and the leadership that you have displayed over the past few months, we would like you to take over Jim's position as the new project manager," says Sam to you.AssignmentBack at your desk, you start filling out the risk register template. For your risk register, you will need to define 5 negative risks and 5 positive risks and fill out the rest of the information in the template. For your communications management plan, you need to account for all communication types with your stakeholder. Please follow the instructions in the template for both deliverables.Please submit your assignment.For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.Course Objectives:Formulate a project structure appropriate to program scope and overall organizational structure.Synthesize project management knowledge by evaluating a major project for project success in a comprehensive case study of that project.Model Answer:The template should be completed, including identification of 5 positive and negative risks.COMPLETE THE TEMPLATE AND ALSO IN A WORD DOCUMENT ADD AN INTRODUCTION, AN EXPLANATION OF YOUR POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE RISKS AND CONCLUSION. ADD 6 REFERENCES, USE APA FORMAT
