Readings Visit SEATEC site - The Case for the Gummies
This will be the team based project for the rest of the Quarter. In this project your team will focus on solving a manufacturing / layout problem at Gummy Bear plant outside of Nashville TN. In this project you will learn problem solving tools and apply those to developing and defending your team's solution for the plant.
