Imagine you are an entrepreneur who just invented a great product and are eager to start production and marketing for the product. Establish an organization and apply systems’ theory to the organization and its subsystems. Clearly outline the subsystems of the organization and how these intertwine. Make sure you develop a strategy that allows your organization to reach your target consumers.

Be sure to integrate the concepts learned throughout this course into your paper. Be sure to clearly define the files and databases you would create for your organization and how you plan to implement and maintain them.

Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)

/in /by

The production manager has asked you to purchase a replacement numerically controlled (NC) plasma-cutting machine for the metal fabrication shop. She has provided you with the manufacturer’s number and model number for two models and indicates that the performance of either machine is perfectly acceptable. The existing tooling and fixtures will also work with either machine. Footprint and utility requirements are nearly the same as the old machine and will not require changes to the facility. The equipment will be depreciated over a ten-year period, which is also the expected service life. An annual service contract is required after the expiration of the warranty and throughout the remaining service life. You will take advantage of a 2% discount offered by each supplier for paying cash. You decide to complete a total cost of ownership (TCO) analysis to help make the purchasing decision.
The two manufacturers have provided the following additional information:
