Date of submission: February 2, 2010
Executive Summary:
Marton’s suitability as a Vendor for De Havilland must first prove that its proposal is realistic in price and does not lack any important elements to efficiently supply the flap shrouds and equipment bay doors to De Havilland. Once that is clarified, De Havilland must ensure that Marton’s is a viable entity that can perform its duties on a long term basis, provide the necessary warranties and guarantees as well as perform to the service levels De Havilland is receiving from their current supplier.

It would be important to understand the current process that exist with Dollard Plastics, capture the total cost of doing business with the current supplier and compare it to Marton Enterprise. The most expensive bid received is from the current supplier. Dollard Plastics has the experience and understands the requirements of doing business with De Havilland. De Havilland would most likely not respond to the RFQ without making sure all the documented steps of delivering the materials and the pricing structure is in check with what was requested in the RFQ and previously done in the past. The paper does not provide any information on delivery (i.e. lead times and FOB), type of materials used, labor charges and other key performance indicators (KPI’s) of the current situation with Dollard Plastics in order to equally compare the two proposals. Prior to moving forward with any recommendations to the Source Selection Board (SSB) it would be important to consider some factors on the Marton Enterprise bid:
Does the proposal fulfill all the specifications initially requested in the RFQ?
What is the current Supplier’s lead time, warranties and any other monetary incentives and how does it compare to Marton’s bid proposal.
Was the bid, received by Marton, sent by an individual that can bind the organization?
Once the Marton bid has gone through its due diligence, we can then

However, as a new member with a new product, electronic product in North American market, the reputation is also an important attribute. Especially, quick delivery time is a key attribute for this company, due to the demand of quick delivery in all markets. Moreover, the manufacturing process of the new product, electronic product, on which our company will definitely focus, has a lot demands.

Synergy should be encouraged between the two departments, as they are working towards the same corporate goal. In order to update Dynamic’s supply management policy, the company should start to standardize their processes. For the newly awarded contract, we should standardize the process of finding a supplier and standardize testing used for supplier evaluation. By putting all suppliers against the same standards, you should be able to determine which supplier can achieve all your requirements. The supplier should be able to produce a product that meets our company’s standards. In the end, after improving these processes, we should award a long-term contract to whoever we determine to be the best supplier because it is a brand new contract. The longevity of the contract should be determined by the supplier’s performance. There are several benefits to standardizing our processes, such as uniform quality, reduced transaction and purchase costs, and improved inventory management. All these reductions and improvements can be redistributed through the company, enabling us to continually improve. This testing had been done for all suppliers, but the Engineering department decided to solely consider Advanced Wires only, which goes against strategic management policies.

I feel that Dr. P has a case in this situation. I feel he has the ability to sue for compensatory damages. I would argue that Dr. P is a public figure. As you said he is the foremost academic on exposure to violence and the human psyche. Since he is a public figure and his work is important to public interest.

We have to answer how his reputation is being harmed, how his standing in the community is being harmed.
