Because there are some Dogs that didn’t sold any drinks during the last months, I will use a different method of determining which Dogs (that didn’t recorded any sell) will be taken out of the menu. The second method will be based on the minimum number of drinks that each brand needs to sell in order to achieve a Profit Factor of at least .04, the minimum number of drinks that I will use for this method will be

    With management’s goal of expanding our product offerings, I would suggest implementing the sale of a different size of our tomato soup cans that can meet the needs of our customers. Since many of the existing inputs are interchangeable, this will help reduce the development cost of our new product offering. With this new direction, we would need to address the advantages and disadvantages to opening up a new product line to accommodate this new product. If we manufactured both sizes on the same line, even with the use of ERP, there will still be downtime involved from switching the manufacturing line to use different size cans.
