A Company with a Number of Physically Separate Plants Has

question 3

Multiple Choice

A company with a number of physically separate plants has a centralized tool room. This tool room in the past has been responsible for emergency repairs. Whenever equipment (e.g., a spindle, boring machine, transfer line) in one of these separate plants breaks down, the affected items are brought to the tool room, where they are repaired. In some cases, the breakdowns affect production schedules. In other cases, the breakdowns are more annoying but do not adversely affect schedules. Complicating the operations in the tool room is the fact that many of the plans for the equipment are incomplete or out-of-date, thus resulting in "make from sample" requests (the broken part is provided and the tool room is asked to make the replacement piece just like the broken part) . It is difficult to predict what equipment will break down and when. Furthermore, the company owns a wide variety of equipment. What are the order winners and order qualifiers in this scenario?
