COMPANY NAME: _______________________________________________________

1
I. Company Overview
1. Company Background (1 – 2 pages)
o Date of Establishment: When was the company founded?
o Founders/Originators: Who were the key people behind its creation?
o Product Offerings: What products or services does the company produce or provide?
o Purpose of the Products: What is the company’s value proposition or the problem their product
aims to solve?
o Location of the Plant/Facilities: Where are the main production facilities located?
o Target Market: Who are the company’s primary customers (B2B, B2C, specific industries,
demographics)?
o Historical Growth and Achievements: How has the company evolved since its inception? Any
significant milestones?

II. Production/Facilities Capacity

1. Standard Output:
o Daily Output: How much product does the company produce on a typical day?
o Weekly Output: What is the weekly output?
o Monthly Output: How much is produced on a monthly basis? (Include information such as units
produced, output rate, or key production metrics like volume or weight.)
2. Capacity Utilization:
o Is the plant operating at full capacity? If not, what are the reasons for underutilization (e.g.,
seasonal variations, labor shortages, resource limitations)?

III. Operational Challenges

Identify at least three key operational challenges the company faces. Provide a detailed analysis
of each:
1. Challenge 1:
o Describe the challenge and explain how it impacts operations (e.g., supply chain disruptions, labor
shortages, lack of skilled workers).
2. Challenge 2:
o Discuss another issue (e.g., inefficient production processes, difficulty in sourcing materials, quality
control).
3. Challenge 3:
o Describe a third challenge (e.g., fluctuating customer demand, environmental factors such as pests
or weather conditions, resource limitations).

IV. Ecological and Environmental Challenges

1. Ecological Challenges:
o Based on your observations, discuss at least 2-3 ecological or environmental challenges (e.g.,
waste management, water usage, energy consumption, or pesticide use).
2. Rationale and Impact:
o Explain the environmental impact of these challenges on the company’s sustainability and
regulatory compliance (e.g., environmental laws, consumer perception).
3. Potential Solutions:
o What sustainable practices or technologies could be adopted to mitigate these challenges (e.g.,
organic farming, waste recycling, energy-efficient practices)?

V. Company's Production Process and Operations

1. Process Type
o What is the type of production process used? (e.g., job production, batch production, or continuous
production)

2
 o Why is this type of process suitable for the products being made?
2. Automation, Technology, and Innovation
o What level of automation does the plant use? Are most tasks done manually?
o What technologies or tools are used in the production process? (e.g., climate control, irrigation
systems, etc.)
o Describe some significant machines or tools (e.g., manual tools, pumps, conveyors).
3. Process and Facility Layout
o Describe the layout of the plant (e.g., process layout, fixed-position layout). How are the
workstations organized?
o How are raw materials and finished products moved through the plant?
4. Bottleneck Management
o Are there any bottlenecks in the production process, and how does the company address them?
5. Visual Documentation (Photos)
o Include up to 10 photos documenting production machinery, stages of production, or key activities
in the plant. Each photo should have a caption.

VI. Processing Time Analysis

1. Cycle Time and Lead Time:
o How long does it take to produce one batch or unit from start to finish?
2. Time for Key Phases:
o How long does each phase (e.g., growing, harvesting, processing) take?

VII. Quality Control and Practices

1. Dimensions of Quality:
o Which quality dimensions are prioritized (e.g., performance, durability, aesthetics)?
2. Quality Management Practices:
o What quality control practices are used (e.g., ISO certification, informal checks)?
3. Quality Philosophy:
o What is the company’s quality philosophy or motto? How is this applied in day-to-day operations?
4. Inspection and Testing:
o Where and when are inspections conducted? How frequently are they done?

Conclusion
 Summarize the key findings of the analysis. Reflect on the company’s strengths, weaknesses, and
opportunities for improvement in its operations.
 Provide recommendations for improving efficiency, quality, or sustainability.
