Demerits:1.

The labor force does not meet forecast

growth trends.

2.

Delay in production cost.

3.

The major problems has effectively

coordination result form the distance
involved.

Q.3 Develop a method for how your group will

decide among the alternatives . That is, are you
going to try to reach group consensus? Majority
rules?
There are 3 locations i.e.
1) inner city enterprise zone
2) the suburbs
3) in the sticks
Among the eight members of our group 5 members supported to location 3 and 2
members supported to location 1 & only 1 member supported to location 2. As the
majority is for location 3 we decide that as the next production facility. Because :
a) here is a measure advantage in securing future contracts.
b) The cost of the land is much cheaper than the suburban location.
c) The attractive places in this locations are large parks, lakes, walking trials.
d) It will take only 30 min drive away from the location to the city.
e) The labour cost & real taxes is much better than the proposed enterprise zone
f) The area will be developed rapidly in the next five to 7 yrs.

Q.4 Once you have made your decision, how

will you justify your decision to someone
who might have preferred another choice?

As per our group location 3 will be the best alternative for the next
production facility because location 1 & location 2 are having some
demerits.

Demerit of location 1

Value of real estate in location 1 has been steadily decreasing over the
past four years.

The top manager have walked at the idea of working at the proper
enterprise zone.

Some key managers have told that they will resign if they'll resign if
they'll transfer to location 1.

Location 2 (Demerit):

1) The labour cost is 25% higher for location 2

2) The marginal profit will be 70% lower than the

current site.3) The suppliers will squeeze the supply
because of stiffer price competition from overseas
manufacture

As location 3 is having
cheaper price than the sub urban location, the area is
potentially attractive & the location is nearer to the
city, the labour cost n area tax is better & also it is a
developing area that's why we choose location 3 the
best location for next production facility.
