DESCRIPTION:

Ravi Enterprises (Pvt) Limited - a fully integrated manufacturer of cotton garments received an order for 40,000 rugby shirts from a major retailer in Germany. A week after production started, the Chairman, Asad Farooq, learnt that the deadline of 40 working days would be held up by the tailors who were averaging only 12 shirts/day. The case deals with the production manager Ishtiaq Butt's plan to divide the shirt making process amongst the tailors to expedite production. Issues in the case are worker turnover and output.
