The product design group of Iyengar Electric Supplies, Inc., has determined that it needs to design a new series of switches. It must decide on one of three design strategies. The market forecast is for
200,000
units. The better and more sophisticated the design strategy and the more time spent on value engineering, the less will be the variable cost. The chief of engineering design, Dr. W. L. Berry, has decided that the following costs are a good estimate of the initial and variable costs connected with each of the three strategies explained below.
Low-tech:
a low-technology, low-cost process consisting of hiring several new junior engineers. This option has a fixed cost of
$40,000 and variable-cost probabilities of 0.5 for $0.56, 0.1 for $0.47,and 0.4 for $0.41.
Subcontract: a medium-cost approach using a good outside design staff. This approach would have a fixed cost of
$75,000 and variable-cost probabilities of 0.7 of $0.49, 0.2 of $0.46, and…

- Case Study “The Ideal Partner" Scentimental Inc., a Filipino SME owned by Mrs. Jin Balmadres, has been in operations for over 20 years. She takes pride in supporting the local manufacturing industry with her design creativity. Given their success in the retail and wholesale of décor products with retail giants SM and All Home, as CEO, Mrs. Balmadres has intermittently supported charities over the years.But she felt that the efforts of her company in this area were wanting. Moved by the much-needed relief for the residents affected by the Taal Volcano explosion in early 2020, she was advised by her management consultant to work with a foundation. She did some research on her own on various potential partners. She found that she can either go directly to her desired beneficiaries, work with an established foundation, or through an intermediary. She decided to follow her consultant's advice and work with a foundation. She had her secretary set up an appointment with her chosen foundation…arrow_forwardCase Study “The Ideal Partner" Scentimental Inc., a Filipino SME owned by Mrs. Jin Balmadres, has been in operations for over 20 years.

Hal’s Woodworking Hal Donovan started an ordinary hardware store, named Hal’s Hardware in Sandusky, Ohio, in 1988. He had been working during his summer vacations from college for a long-established hardware store and decided he liked the business. Hal’s Hardware developed an excellent reputation as a friendly neighborhood store. The store managers are all active in the community and the store regularly sponsors youth sports teams and supports local charities. When hired, salespeople go through a comprehensive training program that includes skill training in the areas of the store in which they will work (plumbing, electrical, power tools, flooring, garden, and so on), and they are trained in customer service skills.
