ABSTRACT

Resources: Flipcharts. Copies of Culver Manufacturing (page 172). The suggested answer is on pages 292 to 294.

1. Distribute ‘Culver Manufacturing’. 2. Organize the participants into small teams. 3. Ask them to discuss and then be prepared to explain the terms underlined

and to work out the answers to the two questions in the text. This is Part 1. 4. Facilitate a discussion by asking the groups to explain the terms and give

answers to the two questions. Provide clarification as necessary. 5. Based on the information in the case, now ask the teams (Part 2) to decide

whether or not to replace the equipment. Ask them to ‘huddle’ round a flipchart, draw the three columns as suggested by the management consultant and come to a decision.
