He contacts Fixing and Building Machines Ltd who recommends a machine which they claim is more than 10 times quicker and stronger than his old machine. Justin goes into Fixing and Building Machines Ltd. Before paying for the machine, he sees a sign on the wall behind the counter that has the words “Important Information: READ BEFORE PURCHASE! Fixing and Building Machines Ltd accepts no liability.....” in bold, red print at the top. However, the sign is falling down from the wall and the rest of the words are obscured by a large plant.

It is estimated that test marketing will cost $100K. Data indicates that only 30% of this company's product capture consumers' attention. Only when this product DEV is successful at the test market stage, then the company needs to consider the size of plant to set up to produce DEV in large quantity. A small factory is expected to cost around $150K to build, while a large factory costs around $250K. Productivity for small factory is 2000 units per year, while a large factory produces 4000 units a year. This company might also give up this project and receives $0 back.

- “This isn’t what I need!” objected the admissions officer at Northwest Regional Hospital. Judy sighed, “But this is the software you asked us to create for you.” “I don’t care what I said at the time, this system won’t work for us the way you have it set up. You’ll have to fix it.” “But any fixes are going to set this project back at least four months,” Judy warned. “Why don’t you work with it for a while and get used to the features? I’m sure you’ll find that it works fine.” Judy’s attempt at reassurance just set off an even more negative response from the admissions officer: “Look, we needed the registration screens in a different format. I can’t read this one. And on top of that, it’s missing the insurance check function.” “But you didn’t ask for any of those features last April when we developed the specifications for the system.” “At the time, I didn’t know they were available.

Down Creek Boots (DCB) is a boot manufacturer (fictitious) that focuses on making high-quality leather work boots, with prices ranging from $200-$350. After being successful in this market for over 30 years and developing a positive brand reputation and loyal customers, DCB has decided to broaden their line to include leather hiking boots. While these share some characteristics with work boots, the design will be slightly different and different soles will be used. They are fairly confident annual demand will be between 30,000 and 40,000 pairs in the first year, and expect a 10% growth rate in sales for the next few following years. However, in their plant in Minnesota, DCB currently has little excessive capacity. Thus, to make the new boots, DCB will either need to expand their plant, or outsource production to another boot maker. If they outsource production of the boots, they will outsource production to a firm that has the manufacturing capability to produce them…arrow_forward
