Product Details

Consultants have been engaged to recommend the ideal operations strategy for Stickers by dVider, to support a dramatic increase in demand anticipated by the company as a result of its aggressive growth strategy. After reviewing dVider's current operations, including a rigorous examination of its key cost drivers, students are asked to consider if outsourcing could benefit the various growth opportunities under consideration, whether the potential cost savings would be enough to justify such a dramatic change in the production formula that had worked so well for dVider in the past, or was it outweighed by the potential risks of decreased production quality and longer lead times?
