Better Fitness, Inc. (BFI), manufactures exercise equipment at its plant in Freeport, Long Island. It recently designed two universal weight machines for the home exercise market. Both machines use BFI-patented technology that provides the user with an extremely wide range of motion capability for each type of exercise performed. Until now, such capabilities have been available only on expensive weight machines used primarily by physical therapists.   At a recent trade show, demonstrations of the machines resulted in significant dealer interest. In fact, the number of orders that BF received at the trade show far exceeded its manufacturing capabilities for the current production period. As a result, management decided to begin production of the two machines. The two machines, which BFI named the BodyPlus 100 and the BodyPlus 200, require different amounts of resources to produce.   The BodyPlus 100 consists of a frame unit, a press station, and a pec-dec station. Each frame produced…

In contrast, India’s Tata Motors was moving forward with a strategy focused on small inexpensive cars, even though thiswas a highly competitive market segment, dominated by Japanese auto makers. The company’s aim was to design a smallcar that would be significantly cheaper to make and buy than any other model, and thus to satisfy India’s mass marketdemand for low – cost transportation. The result was the Nano, with a sales price of 100, 000 rupees (US$2,500), whichwas half the price of its closest competitor in India. Tata Motors achieved this by designing everything from scratch, deletingfeatures that were taken for granted by other auto makers (for example air conditioning, power brakes, radios), usinglightweight steel and an aluminium engine, and building in fuel efficiency.The car’s other important feature was its modular design, enabling the Nano to be distributed across the country in kit formand assembled by local businesses. The global reaction to the Nano catapulted the Tata…

India is home to some of the world’s deadliest roads. However, international automobile makers do not provide standard safety features in entry-level cars sold in India that are required in other developed countries. India’s death toll on the roads has ranked top in the world for eight straight years, exceeding 130,000 fatalities a year. Despite this, automakers strip safety features such as air bags and antilock brakes out of the cars most people in India drive. They argue that Indian consumers cannot afford or are not willing to pay for safety features that could increase the cost of the car by 30 percent or more. Some manufacturers have begun to offer more safety features as standard in their models. But other producers are offering them only as an option, and some are not offering them at all to maintain price competitiveness. Is it right for manufacturers to include product safety features that are known to save lives in countries that require them but not to include such features…
