Overview The names of the organization, individuals, location and financial information for this case analysis have been substituted to preserve the original organization’s desire to be anonymous. Since this is a fictitious company there were no information available for research, all information is based on the case study. Byte Products, Inc., headquartered in the midwestern United States, is regarded as one of the largest volume supplier for the production of electronic components used in personal computers. Byte Products, Inc., was a privately owned firm that has now entered to be a publicly traded company. The majority of the stockholders are the initial owners of Byte, when it was still privately owned. The products that Byte …show more content…
For these reasons Byte would loose market share and would drive away customers to other competitors. The second solution called for overseas licensing and facilities. This option was also rejected by the board of directors and Jim Elliot. The founders of Byte Products, Inc., has always believed that the company’s manufacturing facilities will all reside as domestic and that this strategy has served the company well in the past. The other concern that top management had with this solution was that it did not want to release any technologies to any foreign manufacturer and Byte would have a difficult time in properly controlling the patents. Top management also was concern about foreign licensing because it would give them proprietary information about how Byte operates its efficient production line. The rejection of both solutions was also due to the fact that top management believes the quality of the products will be poor due to the fact that it was produced by someone else and that would hurt the image of the company. The third solution was to take over an abandoned facility for three years and refit it to be able to produce the products to meet the increased demands. The facility, located in Plainville, was primarily used to produce electronic components before it closed eight years ago. The facility can be leased immediately and for a reasonable price. Even though this solution

Furthermore, the Ireland government should improve its business by making an available site at low cost. Besides expanding the company’s market share, it would reduce over capacity of current production plant. Another important advantage is that the European plant may create competitive advantage by offering a competitive price to customers.
INSTRUCTIONS: All questions apply to this case study. Your responses should be brief and to the point. When asked to provide several answers, list them in order of priority or significance. Do notassume information that is not provided. Please print or write clearly. If your response is not legible, it will be marked as is and you will need to rewrite it.
Riordan Manufacturing 's current process is not very efficient. It calls for multiple suppliers to ship parts to Riordan 's raw material storage area at regular intervals. These intervals have been set up in advance using production history as a guideline. This process causes a huge inventory spike during slow production times thus requiring a large amount of storage space and upfront costs. There is not a standardized method for the individual assembly areas to communicate parts shortages back to the raw material storage area. Also, as indicated during our analysis, the network infrastructure and current systems at the plant are very outdated causing system slowdowns and reducing plant efficiency.

A down payment of $70,000 would be required, and a first year interest payment of $45,370 (Exhibit 9). It is expected that the two machines would run at 40% capacity bringing in incremental revenue of $613,225, and incremental operating income of $234,855. The cost breakdown structure and the incremental gains for the laser cutter and water cutter can be seen in Exhibit 10. The ROI at 40% capacity is 33.80% (Exhibit 5), which is well above the banks lending rate. The payback period at 40% capacity is the lowest of all options at 3 years (Exhibit 6). With a score of 30, this option scored the highest against the decision criteria (Exhibit 7). This is largely due strongest cash flow, highest ROI, and emphasis on maintaining a high quality product and excellent costumer service.

Read the following case study and critically analyses the situation and write a report in while outline the issues and problems faced by the organization’s members. Describe how you address them. Justify your answers and give detailed reasons for your intended actions.
Global Electronics, Inc. (GEI), headquartered in Sarasota, Florida, designs, manufactures, and markets discrete power semiconductors and analog, digital, mixed-signal, and radiation-hardened integrated circuits for signal processing and power-control applications. The company employs about 2,300 people at its three U.S. fabrication facilities (located in Huntsville, Alabama; Evansville, Indiana; and Reading, Pennsylvania), and has 4,000 employees at its assembly and test facility in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In 1999, GEI 's profitability came down with operating losses reaching $100 million on sales of approximately $650 million, causing management concern about the accuracy of the company 's standard cost system.
