ETHICAL DILEMMA
We begin with an observation regarding toys and torts. (Some of
However, when you manufacture for children, you produce
for the improvident, the impetuous, and the irresponsible. As a
judge put it: “the concept of a prudent child, God forbid, is a
quarter-inch rubber rivet, it could have tried to tough it out or luck
it out in the well-known “do nothing and wait and see.” However,
the company was sensitive not only to the constraints of the law

chase the CAD system?
Any probability above .27

5.18# (a)
For computer repair service, customer interaction is a strategic
choice.
(b) Parts (b) and (c) should be prepared in a style similar to
part (a).
5.19#
All 10 strategic OM decisions are impacted by where the process
occurs in the PCN diagram. Comparing just 1 of these 10 deci-
sions, product design:
(a) Sandwich manufacturer must commit to product
decisions based on historical data of user preferences,
implying more risk because of no immediate interaction
or feedback with the consumer.
(b) Direct interaction requires that the sandwich maker
must build a system and hire personnel capable of
making sandwiches for an end user who may literally
be coaching the sandwich maker (“more mustard, no
onions”) as the sandwiches are made.
(c) Sandwich buffet commits to purchase, prepare, and
sanitarily display the sandwich components that may
(or may not) be selected by the end user.

associated payoff for the new process are shown below. This
presentation mimics the decision tree in Solved Problem 5.1.
However, as the revised process will yield no defective units the
branch for Design B is no longer necessary. Noting that both
approaches result in the same costs may be a worthwhile exercise
for some students.

CASE STUDY
DE MAR’S PRODUCT STRATEGY
1. De Mar’s product is primarily service. There is a tangible
product (air conditioners and plumbing components—pipe,
valves, faucets, blowers, ductwork, etc.), but the distinguishing
product is service.

2. Marketing needs to support the product by selling a special,
◼ Process strategy: How the product is prepared and deliv-
ered will impact customer satisfaction. In addition to instal-
lation and/or repair issues like packaging, neatness, and
cleanup will all be part of the process.
◼ Location: May not be critical at De Mar because the prod-
uct is delivered.
VIDEO CASE STUDY
PRODUCT DESIGN AT REGAL MARINE
The 7-minute video available from Pearson, filmed specifically for
this text, supplements the written case.
1. The concept of product life cycle applies to Regal Marine because
Regal is constantly under pressure to introduce new products—and
those products have life cycles of relatively few years. As the
video suggests, it is a matter of typically less than 5 years before a
boat is out of style and its life cycle terminated. This is a long life

4. The payoff from CAD is not only evident in efficiency, crea-
tive designs, and styling but in production of the code necessary
for the numerical machines, such as the machines used to make
the plugs (molds) in Washington State and for those applications
