CASE ANALYSIS

Introduction
Mabuhay Pumps Company has manufactured high quality residential pumps for over 20 years. The firm has always been profitable and relied on home grown talents who have worked with MPC since 15 years ago. The BOD is composed mainly of closed relatives of the founders who have either passed away with a couple of outsiders.

Point of View
Knowing that MPC is popularly known for their home grown talents, quality products, and trusted specialization in creating residential pumps and have recently established their own a foundry to cast pump housings and assortment fittings to prove their mastery in their line of business, it would be difficult for Renzo to point out that outsourcing their foundry production, would help the company in more ways than they expect, even though it is a huge change from the norm.

Renzo believes that outsourcing will lessen expenses, generate more income and save enough money for future use or plans. The company’s president strongly believes that MCP does not need to outsource products that they are able to produce themselves for this might mean loss of jobs, loss of talents and skills, and negative impact on both employees and the public.

The President also pointed out that MCP has gained recognition from their field without using any means of outsourcing.
Renzo, on the other hand has a firm standpoint on his idea that it would really be beneficial for the company to outsource the pump housings and it would really give the company a little leverage to focus on future projects that is why, I strongly believe that proper strategic management is needed to pursue outsourcing without worrying the president of its possible risks.

Statement of the Problem


Can outsourcing the production of the pump housings produce greater benefits for MPC, than producing its own pump housings and fittings?

Areas of Consideration

Strengths







ATF Housings can be used for the MPC pumps with a 15%

    Mitchem Lethbridge Ltd. is an individual franchise of the parent company Mitchem Office Corporation, which holds a contest every third year to award the franchise with the greatest improvement in net income. This year the Lethbridge franchise has won the contest, however the Halifax franchise, who had a net income increase of 60%, contends that Lethbridge’s financial records have been manipulated to reflect higher net income numbers. The Mitchem head office has asked us to look at the financial records and interview the Lethbridge management to determine if an audit is required because of suspect manipulations to the statements. We also have been required to suggest some improvements to the contest rules to the Mithcem head office. The Lethbridge franchise is currently solely owned by Lisa McGovern and had been going through a tough year in 2010. At the end of the period they made many adjustments that had negative effects on the net income in the 2010 year and positive effects towards the net income of the 2011 year. These issues and the effects they had on net income will determine if there is a need for an audit. They will also help provide insight to determine any improvements that can be applied to the rules of the contest to ensure the future winners are indeed complying with the rules. Improvements would also help curb franchises towards the purpose of the contest, which is to be continually improving net income each year. After determine Mitchem Lethbridge Ltd. Financial statement, we comment on some issues them may address, and…

    According to Section 101.01 of the AICPA, “A member in public practice shall be independent in the performance of professional services as required by standards promulgated by bodies designated by Council.” In order to avoid conflicts of interest an independent auditor cannot be affiliated with the company he/she is auditing in any way. It is the auditor’s responsibility to ensure that all financial statements are reviewed honestly and fairly and the only way to be able to do that is by being independent from the company you are auditing. Independence is the “cornerstone” of the accounting profession because without independent auditors we would not have trusting investors and most people would not believe the financial statements that are presented. The only reason why the public relies on companies’ financial statements is because they believe that the people who are auditing those statements are independent. Independent auditors protect all investors from fraudulent financial statements so that investors can feel confident that what they see is really what they get [when looking at public company’s financial statements].…

    As two of the largest oil and gas firms in the world, The British Petroleum Company p.l.c. (BP) and Amoco Corporation (Amoco) had a long history of competitive encounters.

    ER 2 If we take a look at the control charts for both the processes, you will notice that both processes do not have any control over the amount of defects will be produced. Both the charts have many defect numbers which are placed on either side of the control limits. It can also be noticed that the defects out of the new material process seem to become greater with every day of production. This clearly shows that the standard material holds up better during the manufacturing process compared to that of the super plastic during production (Reid & Sanders, 2011). The old process shows that the process is in control because the sample data falls within the normal variation range. The super plastic is not in control because the cause for the variation can not be identified. Those causes can not be eliminated until the cause of the variation is known. Control charts is a toll used to decide if a business or manufacturing process is in statistical quality control consist of three areas. Descriptive statistics which describes the quality characteristics; statistical process control consists of random sampling of the product; acceptance sampling is the process of randomly inspecting a sample of goods and deciding if the entire lot should be accepted. Control Charts are beneficial because it will show the probability of a point falling above the upper limits or falling below the limits. If the data falls outside of the control limits then we can assume that the process is out of control which will flag and prompt reasonable cause to look into what has caused the defect to…
