Abstract
The Carmen Canning Company Limited was the major fruit juice canning company in Jamaica. The plant manager learned that the press manufacturers were offering new machinery for cover making. These new presses were capable of higher speed production and required less maintenance than the existing equipment in the cannery. If he wanted to convert to the new presses, he would have to present a feasibility report to the board of directors meeting. If he did not wish to invest at this time, he would still have to explain his reasons to the president who had been interested in this study right from the start. (This is the fourth in a series of cases titled Carmen Canning Company Limited (A), (B) and (C), product numbers 9A82D008, 9A82D009 and 9A82D010.)
