Abstract
This case describes a small engineering company which manufactures press tools. It operates on a typical jobbing pattern and has all the usual problems of a jobbing organisation. Specifically the case concerns the immediate problem of reducing costs in a slack market and the longer term anxiety of the owner over whether he should stock raw materials or buy them as and when required. This case is one of a series intended for use on undergraduate Business Studies or business-related degree programmes, as an introduction to Operations Management (680-004-1 to 680-014-1).
