Intercontinental business manufacturing (IBM) was doing a roaring business. Demand of the products was high and supply of raw-material was abundant. IBM was manufacturing 3 different products. Some customers bought 2 types of products and some bought only one. The 3 products were ‘quickie-quick’, ‘run-of-the-mill’ and ‘maxi-max’. customers were not complaining loudly Rohan, the product manager, was confused. Demand for ‘quickie-quick’ was increasing. Raw material suppliers wanted to supply lower quality at cheaper price. It was profitable for the company to increase production. Quality department was not happy with the product. Rohan meet Raj, the CEO, who as, always wanted higher profits. He said that IBM will setup a committee for improving the quality. What must not be done by Rohan? (a) only produce, ‘quickie-quick’ as it gives highest profits (b) increase the production for ‘quickie-quick’ and ask the supplier for better quality raw material (c) maintain the level of production for ‘quickie-quick’ and ask the supplier for better quality raw material (d) reduce the production of ‘quickie-quick’ till committee submits its report |
