SCW Ltd is a small UK based company that manufactures custom made pine furniture. The company employs 12 specialist carpenters, four designers, one production scheduler, two administrators and a manager. Because of the high reputation enjoyed by the company only one sales person is employed since the quality of the company’s furniture attracts sufficient orders to maintain production at full capacity. When a customer order is received, it is allocated to a designer who designs the product, manages the production process and approves the final result. The production scheduler assigns at least two specialist carpenters to each order, depending on factors such as complexity of the design and the requested date of delivery. Once the product is completed, the production price is determined by accumulating all related costs and a percentage mark up is added to determine the sale price.
