SWOT Analysis Enthusiastic leadership. High percentage of returning labor students. Loyal customer base for Berea craft products. Berea craft products command a premium in the market. Difficult to manage flow around student labor force. Do not have a clear capacity/resource estimate for required production. Internal Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats External Application of TOC buffer management for finished goods. Application of TOC buffer management for raw materials. Use TOC red/yellow/green signals to identify the most important work for broom craft to execute. 5S the craft area Educate the staff on TOC fundamentals. High season prevents completion of buffers before February 2014. Wholesale customers place too many customer specific requirements. Software vendor is not capable of making changes to the software to accommodate a TOC buffer report.
Gap Analysis Opportunities and Priorities • Lack of inventory to ship from stock • Establish finished goods buffers based on RRT. • Develop buffer report with software vendor. • Develop a proper signaling method for the craft area that will identify the most important work. • Apply 5S and VSM to craft process.
