Discuss the following:
The manager of an asynchronous flowline with "push" scheduling (work release schedules) that is currently operated at a WIP level W, is satisfied by the fact that, even though the line has very high W, the line meets and sometimes exceeds successfully its target production rate. The average cycle time experienced by the W going through the line is too long for rapid response to customer orders so the manager simply overproduces and builds more finished goods inventory, FGI, just-in-case a customer orders what is in FGI so shipment can be made rapidly. Being familiar with Little's Law from a short course he attended last year, he calculated the THpwc and sees that his process is lean since the actual TH is same. State whether you agree with the reasoning of this manager or not, and give a clear explanation for your position.
