PROPOSED ACTION: Recommendations on Far Eastern Operations Significance: Within the Trans World Holding Company’s portfolio there is a unique opportunity for synergy between the multiple subsidiary companies, however, that synergy is not currently being optimized to drive the most value throughout the firm. The Far Eastern Operations Team has taken the data that we have available from our refineries, marketing operations and production centers and put forth a plan that we believe best optimizes the resources currently available to the Far Eastern Operations organization, and considers the future opportunities. From our team’s linear programming efforts, we are confident that we can reduce total operations costs from $1, 927,000 to $1, 839, 000 and increase daily operations revenue from $-160,000 to $18, 760. Background on Current Operations : The ability to optimize operations across a varied enterprise is always a difficult feat, given the number of constraints and items that managers need to consider. When our team was originally asked to optimize the current operations, we were given the following table of demand data: 1996 Demand (Thousands B/D) Area Gasoline Distillate Australia 9.0 21.0 Japan 3.0 12.0 Philippines 5.0 8.0 New Zealand 5.4 8.7 Total 22.4 49.7 In addition to the amount demanded, one of the other key considerations that needed to be taken into account are the types of crude oil being processed, the distance that the finished product has to be shipped and the market to which the gasoline or distillate is being sold.
As Case number 16 of the text entitled, “Sara Lee Corporation in 2011: Has its retrenchment strategy been successful?” is explored, further explanation is given as to why perhaps this company has not been fully living up to its potential. Sara Lee’s mission statement doesn’t stand up to being an enduring description of the essence of this organization. (Bosin, 2012) “To simply delight customers… everyday”, is a catchy phrase, but it is unacceptable based on the criteria outlined in course material. “The mission statement is to describe the enterprises present business and purpose - “who we are, and what we do, and why we are here.” (Thompson, 2012) This mission statement is generic and could be applied to any other service rendering business venture. It is easy to see why management has
