Bush Broke Allen Case Memo 1. Characterize BBA’s traditional flavor development process.
In general flavor development process is initiated by a customer order or by BBA itself trying new flavor to market. The sales or marketing people act as a bridge between R&D department and customers during the process of flavor development. In a typical project a sample flavor can be delivered in seven days and the tricky part is getting the feedback from customers. It is frustrating for the sales people to get a feedback after three weeks asking for a change. The complete process goes back and forth to development team and customers. Also, on an average about 15% of all development requests would eventually be accepted by customer.
Traditionally in the flavor industry all the R&D expenses are borne by flavor makers like BBA. Most of the flavors are customized to specific requests by the customers and involves a huge amount of time and resources investment by flavor makers like BBA. The development process impacts multiple departments such as marketing, regulatory, quality control, management. This increases the cost of flavor production to BBA and apart from that to maintain a strong market presence flavor makers need to respond quickly to customer requests. 2. Characterize the proposed development process using the “spider” technology.
To maintain a market presence and be competitive, it is imperative for any flavor maker to come up with innovative ideas and processes. The “spider” technology was such idea which is focused on reducing the flavor development process. This technology provides the customers with the option of creating their own flavors with just the click of a button. One can try different combination from the base flavors to create a customized final product.
The new system operates by mixing the ingredients of a flavor using a computer. The system provides the flexibility to try a wide range of possibilities on top of existing base flavor

    Twizzlers are a well-loved, delectable candy that many Americans eat. But some critics disagree that this candy’s production should be shut down for good. Since I love Twizzlers, (especially the strawberry flavored ones) I disagreed with these critics. But after looking into the contents of the candy, I realized that they have a point. But, as a “Twizzler Lover”, I would never want the Hershey's company to shut down the production of Twizzlers. Well, they certainly need to improve their sugar content, amounts of food dye, and artificial flavoring. But all that can be changed. So, Hershey’s should not discontinue Twizzlers, but improve the quality of the candy in order for a brighter future for the company.…

    By looking at the label on the back of any products such as drinks or snacks, one can see the vast majority of flavors added to these. There are thousands of different flavor additives, but they are all split into two different categories known as natural flavors and artificial flavors. These flavors are created in a laboratory with different chemicals by a special flavor chemist known as a flavorist (Yerger). In fact, most natural flavors can be cloned into an artificial flavor, and still have the same chemical makeup – the only difference is the natural flavor must be derived from a "spice, fruit, vegetable, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof (Code of Federal Regulations)." But just because it is a "natural" flavor does not mean it is healthier. For example, almond flavor – or benzaldehyde – contains traces of a deadly poison, hydrogen cyanide, when derived from natural sources, yet when using an artificial process, chemists can avoid the cyanide (Schlosser…

    Given the disparate difference in production costs it is clear that the previous pricing strategy left a lot of profit on the table. It completely disregards overhead and production costs that reach beyond direct labor. With ABC accounting, the firm has a clearer picture of how its resources are being allocated to each flavor, which will provide much needed information on how to price each flavor. This way the firm can make more accurate decisions about what profit margins it hopes to achieve.…
