DESCRIPTION
ABSTRACT:
This exercise is a follow up to ‘Product Development Sequencing (A)’ caselet . On the basis of their analysis based on decision trees, the Development and Production departments at Eldorado Electronics decided to develop and fabricate the circuit boards one step at a time. However, Don Mason (Managing Director of the company) wanted more information on the risks involved before giving a go ahead, because he was concerned with the tight scheduling of work and the total costs involved.
