3 Clyde Williams is facing a dilemma. He has successfully built up a small family-owned company, Concrete SolutionsLtd, manufacturing a range of concrete based products used in making roads, pavements and walkways. Theproduction technology is very low tech and uses simple wooden moulds into which the concrete is poured. As aconsequence he is able to use low skilled and low cost labour, which would find it difficult to find alternativeemployment in a region with high unemployment levels. The company has employed many of its workforce since itscreation in 1996. The company’s products are heavy, bulky and costly to transport. This means its market is limitedto a 30-mile area around the small rural town where the manufacturing facility is located. Its customers are a mix ofprivate sector building firms and public sector local councils responsible for maintaining roads and pavements. By itsnature much of the demand is seasonal and very price sensitive.A large international civil engineering company has recently approached Clyde with an opportunity to become asupplier of concrete blocks used in a sophisticated system for preventing coast and riverbank erosion. The processinvolves interlocking blocks being placed on a durable textile base. Recent trends in global warming and pressure inmany countries to build in areas liable to flooding have created a growing international market for the patented erosionprevention system. Clyde has the opportunity to become the sole UK supplier of the blocks and to be one of a smallnumber of suppliers able to export the blocks to Europe. To do it he will need to invest a significant amount in CAM(computer aided manufacturing) technology with a linked investment in the workforce skills needed to operate thenew technology. The net result will be a small increase in the size of the labour force but redundancy for a significantnumber of its existing workers either unwilling or unable to adapt to the demands of the new technology. Successfulentry into this new market will reduce his reliance on the seasonal low margin concrete products he currently producesand significantly improve profitability.One further complication exists. Concrete Solutions is located in a quiet residential area of its home town. Clyde isunder constant pressure from the local residents and their council representatives to reduce the amount of noise anddust created in the production process. Any move into making the new blocks will increase the pollution problemsthe residents face. There is a possibility of moving the whole manufacturing process to a site on a new industrial estatebeing built by the council in a rival town. However closure of the existing site would lead to a loss of jobs in the currentlocation. Clyde has asked for your help in resolving his dilemma.Required:(a) Using models where appropriate, advise Clyde on whether he should choose to take advantage of theopportunity offered by the international company.
