This case study is also a suitable for decisions that go beyond the range of the normal EPSIM decision inputs. For example re-negotiating the terms of business with suppliers and customers. Also manufacturing engineering issues could be tackled by re-defining the manufacturing processes using modern methods, then planning the operations and issuing new process routes for production to follow. Suitable for: As there are many issues to be considered and a lot of analysis that can be applied to understand and solve the problems, this case study is suitable for approximately four or five days continuous use. It could be used for longer when intervals for teaching input and background analysis are available. At least six decisions are necessary (to complete a year), but the duration could easily be continued for another year of operation to put the long term strategy into effect.

This firm manufactures specialised aerospace components (combustion
chambers). It uses conventional processes but has options to consider and
use various levels of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and other
advanced technology methods.

The components are high cost and low volume with a bill of materials of
three levels.

There is a comprehensive set of case study documentation about the
company. This shows the history and problems of the company as
perceived by the management personnel involved at various times. There
are also reports from consultants engaged to recommend the strategy
Engines Performance should adopt.

The short term problems of load and capacity balance need to be
addressed to prevent matters getting worse and arrears increasing. There
is also the need to consider longer term strategic issues such as the
introduction of new manufacturing technology if a world class company is to
be the result.
