Maintain the current basic sourcing policy for PCBs, but with important modifications 2. Establishing a partnership with a supplier, one of the current contract manufacturers 3. Manufacture its own PCBs in its own facility near company headquarters II. Comparison For option one, the benefits for Stryker Corporation would be the low cost over time, and also this option would protect against future disruptions by acquiring stocks of key and instituting dual sourcing of all electronic assemblies.

If the price of heating oil goes down (even for a short period) to bring the margin to below the maintenance margin, J&L would be required to top up the margin to the initial margin amount. If they don’t have the ready funds to do this their futures contract would be cancelled. This could require J&L to maintain a substantial amount of cash or the availability of a line of credit they can draw on, as needed. The costs to hold this much cash or the interest on a line of credit may exceed the value of the hedging of diesel fuel prices. As the contract hasn’t

It means no matter the company produces or not produces, the company still needs to expense some fix costs such as rent, machine depreciation, equipment loan interest and other factory costs. From the profit and loss statement showed on Exhibit4, we can see the total cost for not producing 300 series was $95 of rent +$186 of depreciation+$ 56 of other factory costs + $27 of interest= $ 364. The loss of $364 is more than the loss of $111 by continuing to produce the 300 series. So, keeping producing the product is the right way. After discussing the pricing problem, Magers want to keep the 100 series price for $2.45, which is right.
Project 2 1. Identify your goal (i.e. describe the behaviour or situation you wish you change). I would like to change my attitude for the better I can sometimes take on too many tasks and get stressed out trying to rush around trying to get everything done before a certain time. When I come into work sometimes a lot of stuff is missing or not put away in the right place or just not cleaned properly that is something I would like to change.
1. Target’s capital budgeting system seems to make sense to me, especially how it does not want to approve projects that request over $100,000, as it avoids needing more funds than available. Aside from that, the strategy of purchasing the land where they build is pretty good, as it eliminates the need to pay rental, and furthermore the fact that the strategy requires carefully selecting locations can be very helpful for the stores and the company. This is also partly due to the real-estate managers, who are important as they are the ones who look for viable locations in order to build more stores or projects, as well as pick out which is the best spot for what. Aside from that, the CEC also has a role in it, as the makeup of the CEC consists of key members, especially for dealing with this, meaning that they are able to better decide upon whether or not a certain action is a good idea or not.
In addition, when CEMEX began expanding abroad, they used PMI teams to streamline a new firm, identify and retain talent, and adopt the key standards of CEMEX's business model. This ensures that their subsidiaries are working in the same fashion as the home plant. CEMEX ws also able to reduce their costs by incorporating new technology, which allowed them to maximize knowledge to everyone in the company, and allow operations to flow more smoothly. In addition, concentrating their focus on other countries can help ensure stable revenues, such that if their home country is experiencing a downturn in GDP, they can stabilize their sales in other countries experiencing GDP growth. Further, there has been a reduction on tariffs due to exporting their product.
Mass production also lowered the cost of the products. The quantity of the of the products were not scarce anymore, so the seller didn’t have to sell his products at a high price in order to make a living. The United States was looked at as a world power because of this new “technique.” Mass production also allowed for more jobs to open. Factories needed many workers in order to maintain the upkeep of the flow of items. The United States was facing hard times in the jobs aspect.
Also that the communication with IT systems between the US and Romania will be linked and not be a barrier. Whatever systems that can be outsourced and still be as effective as before will be an advantage to the company since they will half the cost of their current workforce. When deciding on which people to lay off I think it is necessary for a company to periodically list their employees from the most valuable to the least. When the time comes to outsource the management can start cutting from the bottom of this list. What arguments and alternatives could you present that might dissuade the company
Although CMI dominates the market for this product, corporate sales figures decreased over the la st year. As a result, the management at CMI realized the importance of diversifying its product-lin e so that the company does not rely as heavily on SlipSeal or the automobile industry.

The curled metal pads lasted longer t hen asbestos pads and were easier to change.
