　　ANSWER ALL PARTS OF THIS QUESTION

　　QUESTION 2

　　Revor Cars is an ailing motor vehicle manufacturer which has just been acquired by a large

　　foreign investor, HK Holdings.

　　Revor was once a source of national pride, producing high-quality, innovative designs

　　popular in its local market. One product, the Mighty Atom, was originally conceived and

　　constructed fifty years ago, and is still considered one of the best small cars around.

　　However, the rest of the product lines, including sports and saloon cars, are rapidly losing

　　their appeal, being overtaken by overseas manufacturers who can offer quality, functionality

　　and reliability at extremely competitive prices.

　　HK Holdings understands that it needs to invest in Research and Development, in order to

　　develop new and improved products, whilst at the same time supporting the handful of

　　models which are likely to remain profitable for the next three years. To do this, it is

　　embarking on an organisational-wide quality-improvement programme, similar in substance

　　to improvement approaches it had already delivered successfully in its home country. The

　　thrust of the programme will include:

　　1.The need to instil a culture of excellence driven by committed, quality-focused teams

　　2.The need to provide every employee with a simple set of ideas as to how to

　　3.implement quality improvements in their workspace

　　4.The need to monitor performance closely through the use of appropriate performance

　　indicators.

　　One aspect of the change strategy will be to make further use of technology in Revor’s

　　production facility. HK has already identified the need for a multi-million-dollar investment

　　in CAD/CAM technologies in order to successfully develop an ERP system at the heart of a JIT

　　manufacturing methodology. It understands that an OPT philosophy will assist in targeting

　　key improvement areas, and that existing MRP technologies will need to be replaced.

　　In order to deliver these major changes, particularly in the new systems development

　　projects, HK is evaluating the use of outsourcing. This would involve the use of local

　　technology suppliers in the analysis, design and implementation of a number of systems. As

　　an alternative, HK could bring in its own in-house technologists from its home country,

　　although finding a suitable team willing to live for long periods in a foreign land may prove

　　difficult.

　　You are a management consultant working alongside HK Holdings management team as they

　　evaluate strategic and tactical options during the first few weeks following the acquisition of

　　Revor Cars.
