has extended their product range to pumps and flow controllers. The main learning outcome from analyzing the case study is manufacturing overhead cost allocation. Exhibit 2 in the case study shows pumps has a highest manufacturing overhead cost compare to valves and flow controller. The common overhead cost drivers in the production are machine hours‚ production runs and hours of engineering work. The key issue in this case study is the gross margin on pump sales is 19.5% that well below the company’s

internal combustion engines need three things to run that is Air‚ Fuel and Spark. The fuel system is critical in storing and delivering the aviation fuel to the engine that is needed for it to run. Think of it as your vascular system‚ with a heart (fuel pump)‚ veins (fuel lines) and kidneys (filter). A failure in any of these fuel system components has the same devastating effects as in your body. Proper maintenance of an engine’s fuel system is crucial to economically and ecologically efficient operation
