- Scenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner. Ben was particularly disturbed about the amount spent on corrugated boxes purchased from Southeastern Corrugated. Ben said, I dont like the salesman from that company. He comes around here acting like he owns the place. He loves to tell us about his fancy car, house, and vacations. It seems to me he must be making too much money off of us! Jeff responded that he heard Southeastern Corrugated was going to ask for a price increase to cover the rising costs of raw material paper stock. Jeff further stated that Southeastern would probably ask for more than what was justified simply from rising paper stock costs. After the meeting, Ben decided he had heard enough. After all, he prided himself on being a results-oriented manager. There was no way he was going to allow that salesman to keep taking advantage of Coastal Products. Ben called Jeff and told him it was time to rebid the corrugated contract before Southeastern came in with a price increase request. Who did Jeff know that might be interested in the business? Jeff replied he had several companies in mind to include in the bidding process. These companies would surely come in at a lower price, partly because they used lower-grade boxes that would probably work well enough in Coastal Products process. Jeff also explained that these suppliers were not serious contenders for the business. Their purpose was to create competition with the bids. Ben told Jeff to make sure that Southeastern was well aware that these new suppliers were bidding on the contract. He also said to make sure the suppliers knew that price was going to be the determining factor in this quote, because he considered corrugated boxes to be a standard industry item. Is Ben Gibson acting legally? Is he acting ethically? Why or why not?arrow_forwardScenario 3 Ben Gibson, the purchasing manager at Coastal Products, was reviewing purchasing expenditures for packaging materials with Jeff Joyner.

- Based on Quinn et al. (1991). Winter Riggers handles approximately $400 million in telephone orders per year. Winter Riggers’ system works as follows. Callers are connected to an agent if one is available. Otherwise, they are put on hold (if a trunk line is available). A customer can hang up at any time and leave the system. Winter Riggers would like to efficiently manage the telephone system (lines and agents) used to process these orders. Of course, orders are very seasonal and depend on the time of day. a. What decisions must Winter Riggers make? b. What would be an appropriate objective for Winter Riggers to minimize (or maximize)? What difficulties do you see in specifying the objective? c.

- At Hewlett-Packard (HP), billions of dollars of product are being shipped - from computers and diagnostic devices to toner cartridges each year. Customer orders come in 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Nearly 16,000 different products are requested daily and have to be shipped from six different warehouses which are located 30 or more miles apart. It often takes weeks to get the products into the customer’s hand. This is a serious problem if customers have contracts with HP stating deliveries are to be made in three (3) business days, or less. That means that from the time a customer calls the HP customer service line, they will have their replacement part and be back in operation within 72 hours or less, no matter where that customer is located. On average, delivery to customers takes 6+ days. It is imperative that HP guarantee for delivery of products and services are followed to protect their image, secure its position in the market place, increase its competitive advantage and its…arrow_forwardWorkshape Manufacturing has two classes of distributors: JIT distributors and non-JIT distributors.

You are valuing a 10-acre vacant lot with a septic system and a well on site. The size adjustment factor for 10 acres is 2.23. You have found two recent sales to use as comparables. -Sale 1 is 3.5 acres in size and has a septic system and a well on site. It sold for $200,000. The corresponding size adjustment factor for 3.5 acres is 1.57. -Sale 2 is 7 acres in size and sold for $225,000.

Each lock unit consists of three components: the knob and faceplate, the actual lock itself, and a set of two keys. Although the processes used in the manufacture of the three components vary, there are three areas where the production manager is concerned about the availability of resources.
