Abstract

A joint venture between ASIMCO and Caterpillar had recently finished several major projects. The plant was under pressure to increase revenue and had secured the bid on a new customer order, but this addition put a strain on the plant''s profitability and management must decide whether it should reduce the casting technology cost or gradually phase out of the agreement. This is a supplement to ASIMCO International Casting Company (A), product ''9B04D009''.
