Task 1

Go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9il0DVhT86E and watch the video How Its Made: McDonald’s

Chicken McNuggets. You’ll see how Tyson makes chicken nuggets for McDonald’s.
1. Does Tyson use process manufacturing or the assembly process? Is the production of McDonald’s
McNuggets an intermittent or continuous production process? Justify your answers.
2. What location factors might go into the selection of a manufacturing site for McDonald’s McNuggets?

Task 2
Choosing the right location for a manufacturing plant or a service organization is often critical to its success.
Pick one manufacturing plant or one service organization in Kyiv and list at least three reasons why its
location helps or hinders its success. If its location is not ideal, what would be a better one?

Task 3
Draw a PERT chart for your group project II (Duration: 2 weeks). Define the critical path.

Task 4
Workers on the manufacturing floor are being replaced by robots and other machines. On the one hand, this
lets companies compete with cheap labor from other countries. On the other hand, automation eliminates
many jobs. Are you concerned that automation may increase unemployment or underemployment in Ukraine
and around the world? Why or why not?

Task 5
One way to create new jobs in Ukraine is to increase innovation among new graduates from engineering and
the sciences. How can Ukraine motivate more students to major in those areas?
