  A non-profit utility company has 900 employees, a majority of whom are hourly employees and must track their time using a paper-based process. A few years ago the Director of Human Resources purchased a software system to eliminate the current paper-based time reporting process. No requirements specific to the utility company were defined prior to the purchase. A team was formed to implement the software. During implementation process, the team discovered the software lacked functionality and was not robust enough to support the general ledger requirements.

• Question 236:

  A major manufacturer of popular beverages has appointed a local distributor to serve a specific territory. The demand for the beverages has a pronounced seasonal pattern. The distributor performs well overall, but is repeatedly unable to keep up with fulfilling many customer orders during peak demand periods. The distributor's current delivery capability is stretched to deliver 60 tons of merchandise per day whereas the season's peak demand periods need a daily delivery capability of up to 100 tons.

  The distributor is under pressure to fully meet the year-round market demand in order to stay in business. The distributor's management wants to identify and consider more cost-effective options as resorting to adding more trucks and drivers would not be economically feasible.

  A business analyst (BA) has spent several days observing and measuring the warehouse activities to understand the situation and to gain insights into possible solutions. The delivery workflow is a four-step process: (1) picking the orders and assembling them on trays, (2) bringing the trays to the loading bay, (3) loading the orders into trucks, and (4) delivering the orders to customers. As the following table illustrates, overall performance depends is dependent on five major resources: (1) the workers who pick the orders and load them into trucks, (2) the tallyers who check the orders, (3) the drivers, (4) the trucks, and (5) eight loading bays (LBs).

  

  Preparing a customer order for loading takes about one hour. Upon the BA's observation, only 30% of trips have their orders available for loading when a truck arrives. This causes a waste of both the truck's and the driver's time.

  What should the BA recommend to eliminate such waste?

  A. Elicit requirements for a system to coordinate in advance order processing activities with all trips
  B. Begin assembling orders for the next trip immediately following the truck's departure
  C. Hire more warehouse staff (workers) so that order assembly is done faster and less waiting occurs
  D. Ask the drivers to call the operations team member if they are going to be late
  B. Begin assembling orders for the next trip immediately following the truck's departure
