Product Details

While maintaining Lean manufacturing standards, the plant manager for the Clarksburg, Virginia, location of a manufacturer of coated abrasives must evaluate a capital investment of $8 million. The investment would reduce labor needs and provide reduced setups. A discounted cash flow analysis must be performed to analyze the investment. Relevant costs and valuation of production flexibility are key issues. This case is taught jointly in two of Darden's first-year courses, Financial Management and Policies and Operations.
