Abstract: This second part presents further analyses of the National Cranberry Cooperative Case, published in the November–December 1989 issue of Interfaces . The first part focused on tactical options, assuming a fixed environment for Receiving Plant 1 (RP1). The base case recommended, among other things, purchasing two new dryers and fully staffing the plant starting early each morning of the peak season. Part 2 asks whether better solutions can be found by making technological changes (Analysis 4), managing demand (Analysis 5), or altering the economic environment (Analysis 6). I also discuss implementation.
