    The income statement shows that Gopher manufacturing has a gross profit margin of about 41 per cent. A lower than 50 per cent gp margin means that Gopher Manufacturing generates a low level of revenues to pay for its operating expenses and net profit. It also indicates that either the business is unable to control production and inventory costs (which can also be seen from the DIO), or the prices may be set too low. Moreover, the Net Profit Margin is a relatively low 7.7 per cent. This indicates the high Cost of Goods sold and may mean that the company is not keeping its operating expenses under control. If the Net Profit Margin goes any lower, Gopher Manufacturing might need to take on debt to pay its expenses.…

Net sales also showed the same growth at 100%. The company expects continued growth over the next three years and according to the trend analysis, has the ability to do so.

The expenses are variable in relation to the sales. Higher gross sales leads to higher operating income available to service debt in the form of interest payments.…

    There are three main stages to OMM, input, operations and output. Input consists of having the products customers will want on hand. The operations stage is how employees work together and independently to better the companies input and output. Output is the product or service itself (Jones, 2007). Subway, Fedders Corporation, and Driftstone Pueblo are companies that have completely different products but must maintain an OMM that functions properly to offer the best product and service to their customers. In order to function properly these companies must increase their productivity, quality of product, innovation of product, and their responsiveness to their customers, all while keeping costs low without allowing the product or service to suffer. If they are able to do this they will have a competitive advantage against their rival companies (Jones, 2007).…

    Initial Assessment: An initial look at the ratio analysis reveals that the annual sales-growth rate has been holding around 15%. This is perhaps the only good news from the analysis. A performance discontinuity makes its appearance in FY 2000 as a drop in operating margin. This was a result of a 21% increase in production costs and expenses and a 20% increase in admin and selling expenses. There was also an inexplicable 95% increase in inventory. This jump in inventory and operating expenses appears to have been financed through debt, as the debt/equity and debt/total capital ratios increased during this period. Since the sales growth rate has held steady, there has been…

    In my opinion Olam faces a major issue pertaining to how they can continue their growth over the next 10 years. Growth came easy for them in the beginning; they continued to improve their core competencies which directly added value to the company. The way they attacked improving the supply chain management as well as cultivating their employees was continually changing. With each change they were able to advance their competitive advantage, which led to great outcomes. So they are now left with how to continue to make improvements to a well run process. So plain and simple the key problem lies in: How will the resources that Olam built carry them into the future so they can maintain a competitive advantage that it has strived to build?…
