Abstract
Harimann International, a small producer of finished textiles, receives a large, unexpected order at the beginning of the off-season. Unfortunately, none of the available embroiderers (subcontractors) can commit to finishing the goods in time for internal processing (bleaching, cutting, sewing, washing, and packing) to be completed in time to guarantee the shipping date. This case offers a rich context for analyzing problem solving under uncertain conditions and exploring risk-reduction opportunities.
