Superior Manufacturing Case Analysis

The Destin Brass Products Company case analysis focuses on the current accounting practices utilized by the company and its effects on product pricing. Destin’s president, Roland Guidry, is concerned about the pump market competition dropping prices and his company’s ability to remain competitive, yet profitable; since, pumps are 55% of Destin’s revenues. At the same time, the flow controller market remains seemingly untouched. The company’s controller, Peggy Alford, and manufacturing manager, John Scott, are charged with experimenting with a new accounting method that could more precisely cost each of Destin’s three products: valves, pumps, and flow controllers.

Clarkson Lumber Company’s biggest problem by far is the fact that Mr. Clarkson had agreed to buy out Mr. Holtz for $200,000 with semi-annual installments of $50,000. It wasn’t necessarily a bad idea for Mr. Clarkson to buy out Mr. Holtz altogether, but the $100,000/year of payments is an unrealistic amount for Clarkson Lumber at this point in time. Between 1993 and 1995, there hasn’t been a year where they have realized more than $77,000 in net income, so the payment of $100,000/year is clearly unrealistic and a sure problem for the company. Another problem, which isn’t nearly as important as the former, is that net income is growing

The property that this plant is situated on is also of high value to real estate developers in the area and in this time of recession it may ideal for Stonewall to take advantage of this by the closure of this operation and gaining value for this property. Stonewall can consider expanding the Calgary plant in the future, and provide product for the Vancouver market without needing a plant situated in Vancouver – similar to how the Montreal plant produces wallboard for Quebec and the Maritimes, or how the Winnipeg manages the Manitoba and Saskatchewan market. If downsizing was inevitable, for effective human resource planning, downsizing this operation would be the most economically sound decision in the long run.

6.) The Wilkerson Company original case is not effective and accurate without including an ABC analysis. ABC allowed us to assess the business performance of each of its businesses including: Valves, Pumps and Flow Controllers. This enabled us to realize that the Flow Controllers business is not profitable with a Gross Margin of -11.31%. I recommend specifically solving the problem of pre-tax margin going from 10% to less than 3%. The strategic decisions that need to be made are improving the unprofitable Flow Controllers business unit, while simultaneously increasing the sales of the more profitable Valves and Pumps business units. I would capitalize on the highest margin business of the Valves. Specifically, I would develop marketing strategies on how to grow market share in this business. I would assess what we are doing in this business and I would reapply it to our other businesses. This would include evaluating and eliminating costs in the other business units,

City of Long Beach’s has many new construction projects. Many of those projects are revamping and upgrading facilities that were deemed unsafe per regulatory standards. Of the city’s current plans, one project is the new Belmont Aquatics Center.
