Questions: Croad Cycle Company (CCC) is a small to medium enterprise (SME) based in Canada, which manufactures high-end mountain bikes (MTBs) for the competition and domestic markets on the west coast of Canada and the USA. Company founder and CEO, Bob Croad, was a pioneer of the Canadian MTB scene in the 1990s and began making his own MTBs in his garage at home in 2001. Over the last 20 years, CCC has built a strong reputation in North America for innovative bike geometry and designs, and for producing fast, high performance bikes. However, things really began to take off for CCC last year, when two young Canadian riders (both sponsored by the company and riding CCC bikes), placed in the top 10 of the World MTB Championships. The success of these riders provided the company with significant exposure on the global stage, which resulted in a substantial jump in visits to their website from countries such as Australia, Japan and several European countries.

Gulf Coast Electronics is ready to award contracts to suppliers for providing reservoir capacitors for use in its electronic devices. For the past several years, Gulf Coast Electronics has relied on two suppliers for its reservoir capacitors: Able Controls and Lyshenko Industries. A new firm, Boston Components, has inquired into the possibility of providing a portion of the reservoir capacitors needed by Gulf Coast. The quality of products provided by Lyshenko Industries has been extremely high; in fact, only 0.5% of the capacitors provided by Lyshenko had to be discarded because of quality problems. Able Controls has also had a high quality level historically, producing an average of only 1% unacceptable capacitors. Because Gulf Coast Electronics has had no experience with Boston Components, it estimated Boston Components' defective rate to be 10%. Gulf Coast would like to determine how many reservoir capacitors should be ordered from each firm to obtain 75,000 acceptable-quality…

AO-Funded Aquaponics Project Launched In Barbados Barbados GIS – The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has collaborated with the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy, and local business Adams Aquafarms, on a project to train persons in aquaponics. Aquaponics is a sustainable way of integrating land-based fish farming with plant production. Both are placed in a tank, and the set up allows for them to coexist, with the waste produced by the fish fertilizing the plants, while the plants purify the water for the fish. The training, funded by the FAO, will take place at a demonstration facility, located at Adams Aquafarms, Hopewell, St. Thomas. The FAO is currently targeting 30 entrepreneurs and 10 teachers. Minister of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy, Kirk Humphrey, believes the project will be “transformative”, as it has the potential to empower Barbadians. “In aquaponics, you have the opportunity to have, at the same time, multiple sources of…
