Fee and Smaller Airplanes
Chapter two
Business organizations compete with one another in a variety of ways. Key among them are price, quality, product differentiation, flexibility, and delivery time.
Strategy is the basic approach used by an organization to achieve its goal where tactics are the methods and actions are taken to accomplish strategies and carry out operations.

Operations strategy is the approach consistent with the organization strategy, which is used to carry out operations.
Explain the term time-based strategies and give three examples.
Time-based strategies are approaches that focus on reducing the time needed to conduct the various activities in a process. The rationale is that by reducing time, costs are generally less, productivity is higher, quality tends to be higher, product innovations appear on the market earlier, and customer service is improved.
Boeing’s strategy appears to focus on its 777 midsize plane’s ability to fly into smaller, nonhub airports. Rival European Airbus’s strategy appears to focus on large planes. Compare the advantages and disadvantages of these two strategies.
It appears that Boeing can concentrate on selling its smaller airplanes in larger volumes to smaller airline companies. The advantage of producing smaller airplanes is the fact that we can produce relatively large quantities at a lesser cost. The disadvantage of producing smaller airplanes is that most likely, the profit margin is less and larger quantities must be sold to generate the same income as when smaller quantities of larger airplanes are produced. The advantage of producing larger airplanes is that most likely the profit margin is higher and the
Airbus company can afford to produce a smaller quantity of large airplanes to generate the same income as when larger quantities of smaller airplanes are produced by the rival company

    1. Reasons that Airbus interested in A3XX  A Revolution Adventure -- The first objective of this project is to fill the market gap by introducing a new type of aircraft. Airbus, with A3XX under the plan, is stepping into an area that Boeing has rarely touched, the very large aircraft (VLA) market. If Airbus well forecasts the future market, A3XX will be the flagship in a new airline revolution. Capturing more than half the VLA market with A3XX, Airbus would constitute an enormous financial success and achieve the ultimate objective-- the leader of commercial aviation industry.  Abundant Financial Resources and Developed Technologies -- Airbus possesses abundant funding resources and cutting-edge technologies which could substantially reduce the training cost. Airbus was prepared to receive around $4 billion development loans from the British, French, German and Spanish governments, repayable from sales revenue. Together with contributions from risk-sharing partners and its own shareholders, Airbus has no need to worry about its financial resources and thus can concentrate on the production and sale of A3XX. In addition, the well-developed aircraft technologies such as fly-by-wire technology, fight deck design, and performance characteristics that are common across the Airbus family pave the way for the A3XX’s development and potential market.  Favorable factors from Context Analysis -- Needs for travelling and cargo transportation are essential parameters which airlines have to take into consideration; hence, they are also vital determinants of demand for commercial aircrafts. According to Airbus’s Global Market Forecast (GMF), air transportation industry is expected to grow at 4.9% annually. This continuous growth demand of the flight market can offer Airbus Company a sound support to launch new types of planes. In…

    Supplier power in the U.S. airline industry is high as passenger jets are the most significant cost for airlines and there are only a handful of suppliers. Additionally, planes must be ordered far in advance, leaving airlines with little choice but to place orders in anticipation of industry growth. Major U.S. airlines have only two primary choices for supply of their jets and there can be significant differentiation between products from the perspective of the airlines. The long-term nature of these purchases creates a long-term relationship whereby the airline is often motivated to purchase the same kind of jets to reduce maintenance and service costs, adding to the leverage held by major jet suppliers.…

    In addition to the major influences on costs of production associated with Delta, economies of scale are also relevant to this firm.

    In 2000, Airbus Industrie’s Supervisory Board was making the biggest decision in the company history: whether Airbus should commit to develop world’s largest jumbo jet. At that time, there are only two major commercial jets manufactory companies: the younger Airbus and the bigger Boeing. Boeing had been at the forefront of civil aviation for over half century. Airbus was founded in 1970as a consortium and merged into a new company known as European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company. Airbus developed “fly-by-wire” technology and “cross crew qualification” technology to compete with Boeing in large jets (those with 70 or more seats) market. While Airbus was booked more than half of the order for large aircraft, Boeing was the monopoly in the very large airplane (VLA) market (seating more than 400 passengers or carrying more than 80 tons of freight.…
