Make a sandwich (any type of sandwich, preferably one that you enjoy)

Step 1 – Make a sandwich (any type of sandwich, preferably one that you enjoy) and document the task you have to perform in order to complete the job. Make sure you include all the activities including the movement of materials (bread etc.) to and from the work surface.

Step 2 – So impressed were your friends with the general appearance of your sandwich that they have persuaded you to make one each for them every day. You have ten friends so every morning you must make ten identical sandwiches (to stop squabbling). How would you change the method by which you make the sandwiches to accommodate this higher volume?

Step 3 – The fame of your sandwiches had spread. You now decide to start a business making several different types of sandwich in high volume. Design the jobs of the two or three people who will help you in this venture.

Assume that volumes run into at least 100 of three types of sandwich every day
