Consulting case interview: meat processing optimization (w/ ex-L.E.K & Bain Consultants)

[@jinwoolee7089]

Is jumping into bottlenecks a good idea here? It was mentioned walk is 10 cows/hr and running is 25/hr. If the processing is 5 cows/hr then there's a bottleneck. Regardless of walking or running, your output per week is going to be affected by the slow processing. I think in this case it was assumed that the bottleneck would be walking/running but was wondering if it would be a good thing to discuss before continuing

Perhaps scaling back to 15 cows per hour, would be profitable even if fixed and variable costs remain constant with an .83 return

Hi there - The cow optimization case is an old classic from the HBS case book. If you're looking for additional cases, we've got a whole bunch of RocketBlocks originals in PDF format here plus some additional videos with RB experts showing a solid performance on classic cases from some of the business school case books: www.rocketblocks.me/casebook.php

Who’s gonna make the cows run everytime?
