    Cologne Haefren Baum Case

    Although the sales of the company have declined significantly their cost of goods sold has remained high, especially between 1994 and 1995 the company had a decline in sales and an increase in cost of goods sold. This is evidence the company is having problems passing costs to its consumers. The company is not very asset intensive and its decrease in total asset turnover can be due to their decrease in sales, however their rather low total asset turnover which is also decreasing from 2.1 to 1.5 shows their assets are not being used very efficiently. As a result of their sales decrease their Fixed Asset turnover also decreased from 7.0 to 5.4. The decrease in sales and increase in competition also means more shelf time for their inventory which has increased from 103 to 129, which makes Haefren Baum’s price cutting strategy questionable. The company is already experiencing a loss of revenue due to their lower prices; however this is not stimulating the number of different sales because the inventory is sitting in the…

    Hi Ionel Case Study

    In interacting with your discussion I realized that some of the health factors that interfered with medication adherence in my experience, is the stress of health care visits with some patients, in some instant it is because, they don't have the mean to get to the provider office and have to use public transportation that add to a very stressful situation. Other time is because, some feel discomfort in asking providers questions, because these are in a rush to speak with patient that they in turn sometimes can remember what they really want to ask about the medication so this get in the way of patient belief or understanding.…

    Executive Summary of Shelby Shelving

    Shelby Shelving is a manufacturing firm who produces shelves for grocery stores. They have two types of shelves named Model S and Model LX. These two models have three main steps in production which are: Forming, Stamping and Assembly. Forming and Stamping departments can produce both models on same line whereas Assembly lines are different for each model. Firm’s problem is to determine how much to produce monthly Model S and Model LX in order to maximize the profit. The decision depends on the optimal quantity that must be produced for each model. The key issue is the marketing department of the company and the controller of the firm have conflicts about Model S. The marketing department think that they should cut back Model S production because its’ cost is higher than the selling price which make them having losses but Controller disagreed and he argues that they will be worse-off with lower production because Model S has a contribution to make overhead. The solution is the optimal quantity to produce each model at which the total profit will be the maximum.…

    Bridgton Industries Case Study

    Bridgton Industries owns and operates an Automotive Component & Fabrication Plant (ACF). The valuation of the products produced by ACF is based on their respective degree of cost competitiveness. Products that have a cost equal to or lower than competitors’ manufacturing cost are considered to be of the greatest value to the company. ACF’s manufacturing costs include Direct Material, Direct Labor and the respective allocation of the plant’s collective overhead. The overhead and direct labor dollars for model years 1987 through 1990 is stated in Appendix A, as presented in the Harvard Business School 9-190-085 case study. For the 1987 model year, overhead was applied to the products as a percentage of direct labor cost for the production of the respective product. This overhead percentage was calculated “at budget time” and then applied throughout the 1987 production year.…

    Porters 5 Analysis Auto Industry in 2009

    The case on the global automobile industry demonstrated by lowering cost through innovative production without sacrificing quality is the defining characteristic in a successful company. I found this case interesting because it characterized a successful automobile producer as one that will cut cost in an innovative approach to deal with a market that is constantly changing. The innovation in producing automobiles started with Ford through mass production and continued all the way to today with companies promoting major suppliers to move closer to assembly plants to cut cost. Since the beginning of the automobile industry the company that was able to lower their cost was the company that would lead the way. However, giving up quality is not a viable option. Lower quality automobiles lead to the down turn in the American automobile market share. In my Porter’s 5 Forces analysis I will identify key competitive forces in the automobile industry.…

    Shelby Shelving Case Study

    Although the shelves are selling well, the total profit of the company is a concern. An engineer suggested that the current production of model S should be cut back because Model S shelves are sold for $1800 per unit but their costs are $1839. Therefore, company is losing money on each one. But the controller disagreed with that idea. He thought that the problem was the model S assembly department trying to absorb a large overhead with a small production volume.…

    Hilti – Gearing the Supply Chain for the Future

    Hilti – Gearing the Supply Chain for the Future

    1. The project team has proposed three scenarios for Hilti’s management board which all have the potential to help the company compete in an ever more competitive and cost-driven environment. Hilti has still the competitive advantage over most other important industry players, because it has a very high-quality approach and is able to charge 30% premiums for their products. The first approach the project team has to offer is a “Low pain, low gain”-scenario in which semi-complex plastic and machined parts are not made in-house but bought from suppliers and all small tools are manufactured in Hilti’s plant in Shanghai. In the first assessment this alternative would have a small impact on cost reduction (8% of COGS) but it would be an alternative with a relatively small footprint. It could be easily achieved and wouldn’t have a big impact on some aspects that are very important to the company’s values. Hilti has established a couple of premises around which decisions about the company’s future have always been made. The “low pain, low gain”-alternative would be in line with the business model that the home factory in Liechtenstein has still a high enough value-add to support high prices and with most of the Champion3C strategy. The Champion3C strategy focuses on three important factors: The company should be economically and technologically independent, should focus on it’s own products and should maintain its sustainable leadership. With this scenario the only factor that is in question is, if the shift to even more “buy” instead of “make” (Hilti is already buying 80% of total product value from outside suppliers) makes the company even more…
