The three companies I have chosen to observe are a sales call center, Tom Thumb grocery store, and Arby’s fast food restaurant.

Tom Thumb output is the cashiers that scan and total all of the products that the customer has chosen to purchase. Arby’s output is the cashiers that hand the completed order to the customer.
The call center and Tom Thumb will both use a flexible production operating system to better serve the customers.

The call center’s organization is focused on sales and shipping. Employees answer the incoming phone calls; enter the...
