Fabtek (B)

Presents an urgent order for repair service from an important customer who had purchased an item from a competitor. The item, which TiFab had bid on, went out at a price that TiFab predicted was below the amount necessary to ensure quality manufacture. Now the customer needs to have the unit, part of a much larger production system, repaired and is willing to pay a very high price. The student must choose a price for this order, and decide whether to take it. Should be handed out in class after discussion of the (A) case. A rewritten version of an earlier supplement.
