PROBLEMS - Donner Company

Donner company is facing many problems during the overall process of their activity. Those problems start with the difficulty of predicting the amount of work units that have to be able to work in the different production stages. This is a big problem because the available capacity is not well used. Another problem is the number of workers inside the company. They are not enough and for this reason, it's really difficult to handle the number of orders that the company has. Furthermore, the bottleneck related to the manufacturing system of the company is changing frequently because of many factors, external and internal ones. Forecasting problems lead to delays in the start of the activities and delivery deadlines. Apart from that, the company is not reaching the quality standards that they should and this is leading to return orders. For the company is also difficult to find the optimum batch size to deciding between punch press and CNC router. Another big problem is the change in the product specifications made by the clients of the company. Variation of standards from one order to another make impossible a formal quality inspection. Furthermore, most of the shipments are dispatched at the end of the month and there's a big need of reducing the lead time for procurement of raw materials.

Hablar de ocio y consumo hoy en día es hablar de de dos temas actuales e inevitablemente relacionados entre ellos dentro de nuestra realidad presente.

Entendemos como ''consumo'' el intercambio de bienes (generalmente dinero o tiempo por servicios/productos) para obtener una utilidad personal derivada de la satisfacción de necesidades.

Como ''ocio'' entendemos las actividades a las que dedicamos nuestro tiempo libre. Actividades que no son ni trabajo ni ninguna otra tarea de carácter no recreativo. De hecho, el ocio muchas veces es entendido como aquello que hacemos para descansar de nuestra actividad laboral.
