Please give some examples.
Reliance Control Systems is a large manufacturer of control systems for the electrical power generation and
distribution industry. Over the past few years, Reliance has watched overseas competitors take away market
share with products that are priced lower and that, at the same time, have developed a reputation for better
reliability. The company is not in a dangerous position yet, but the board of directors wants to see a
concerted effort to improve the company’s competitive posture. In addition, the board wants to solve the
quality problem that is gradually arising in the implementation of their control systems. System glitches have
been evident in several projects of the company which strongly affect the company’s overall reliability to
their clients. During the discussion of the senior management, a proposal to implement quality standards of

Use information provided in table 7.8 , 7.7 (*) Use the weighted-point evaluation system to cal- culate weighted performance scores for each of the software firms. Would the results change if each dimension had a weight of one-third? (**) In Chapter 2, we described order qualifiers as per- formance dimensions on which customers demand a minimum level of performance. Basically, if a supplier fails to meet the minimum requirements on any of the qualifiers, that supplier would be eliminated from contention.

Over the past three years, since the popular Reverend Timothy Becker has taken over leadership of the congregation, the church has more than doubled in size. It now has approximately 400 registered households. Reverend John Howard has also recently been added as a second minister. Since the Church was rather small in the past, most of its records have been kept on paper forms. However, the Church’s Business Manager, Margie Roberts, has suggested to Reverend Becker that a computerized system might help the Church better meet its information needs and manage its activities. In addition to Ms. Roberts, the Church employs a part-time administrative assistant, Mabel McGregory. Mabel performs clerical duties such as filing, record keeping, answering phone calls, and typing the weekly church bulletin using WordPerfect for Windows on the Church’s only personal computer.
