  Busn427 Case Study Week 6: Closing Case- Building the Boeing

  $3.00

  Closing Case- Building the Boeing

  Summary

  Boeing has created the aircraft of the future, the 787 jet. It is designed to fly long-haul point-to-point routes, equipped with 250 seats. 80% of the materials used are composite materials. This makes the plane 20% lighter then the traditional aircraft. This translates to savings in jet fuel consumption and cost.

  The design and creation of the jet was a major technological gamble. To cut costs to minimize financial risk, Boeing outsourced 70% of the content of the 787 to other manufacturers. The partnered manufacturing companies contributed $8 billion in development cost and added in the expertise of experts, further lowering the costs and increasing sales in the partnering countries.   17 partners in 10 countries were selected.

  Delays and complications arose in 2007. There was also a $2 billion increase in development cost.  These setbacks were due to key partner not being able to meet Boeing’s delivery schedules. Many of the early prototypes did not meet quality standards. Despite setbacks, Boeing stayed committed to outsourcing learning much closer management is required and to cut back on outsourcing, specifically with key components towards competitive advantage.

  Questions

  1. What are the benefits to Boeing of outsourcing so much work on the 787 to foreign suppliers? What are the potential risks? Do the benefits outweigh the risks?
  2. In 2007 and 2008 Boeing ran into several publicized issues with regard to its management of a globally dispersed supply chain. What are the causes of these problems? What can a company such as Boeing do to make sure such problems do not occur in the future?
  3. Some critics have claimed that by outsourcing so much work, Boeing has been exporting American jobs overseas. Is this criticism fair? How should the company respond to such criticism?

  Chocoberry You Decide Case Study cacao beans

  $7.50

  YOU DECIDE Scenario Summary
  Chocoberry (CB) is a major independent importer and processor of cacao beans from West African countries. They sell to major chocolate manufacturers in Europe and the Americas.
  CB roasts and grinds the cacao beans offering chocolate liquor to the major candy makers and block liquor to small candy shops. Chocolate liquor is what most consumers know as baking chocolate – dark and bitter. In later years, CB has pressed some of the liquor to produce cocoa powder and cocoa butter – a high fat, white component that can be added to chocolate to render it smoother.
  Cocoa powder could be further processed to form the base for beverages and coatings. Q & Q, Neshey, Cadmerry and Hershel added sugar to the liquor to form dark chocolate, which was not the most popular product. But the blending of sugar, liquor, and cocoa butter produced milk chocolate, one of the most popular food products ever. The candy makers made and distributed their milk chocolate products almost everywhere – and continue to expand their offerings.
  Raw material and ingredient supplier CB, meanwhile, has been watching this gradual transformation from fun to health food; pondering the issue of how to take advantage of this revolution. To determine its future strategy in the new universe of chocolate and cocoa, CB must determine the potential for a new family of added value chocolate or cocoa-based products among consumers in the United States and, later, other countries. To start, the United States would be a target market to determine if one or more product concepts might be feasible.

  Your Assignment
  You are a consultant who has been engaged by CB to create and evaluate their alternatives.
  The following are some areas your report should address:

  Idea Generation (50 points)

  • What techniques will you propose to CB to generate ideas that can be developed into viable concepts?
  • Of the many methods for ideation offered in contemporary literature, which represents the best for CB in this situation, and why?
  • Who might be selected to perform the ideation, and why? Why might you not select certain groups to perform the ideation?
  • Having screened the ideas to a select few, how are concepts generated from the ideas, and when?

  Idea Evaluation (50 points)

  • Once the ideas are generated, how might they be evaluated to maximize the number that has the greatest potential and to minimize the probability of rejecting excellent ideas?
  • Enumerate the criteria that might be applied to appropriately assess the ideas and to eventually rank them according to their potential for CB.
  • Who would conduct the evaluation and why?
  • Focusing on the select few concepts, what are the evaluative criteria that might be used to isolate the one or two that should be recommended for further development?
