Class discussion (whether in groups or as a class) should center on the following questions:

a. Did pooled interdependence (Round 1) or sequential interdependence

(Round 2) work better for your group in terms of the number of planes made correctly? Why do you think you got the result you did?

b. How did you change your work structure in Round 3? Did the changes you implemented help you achieve better productivity? Why or why not?

c. From your perspective, what are the advantages and disadvantages of pooled and/or sequential interdependence?

Round 1 Bid: aircraft @ $200,000 per aircraft = Results: aircraft @ $200,000 per aircraft = page 385 Subtract: $3,000,000 overhead + × $30,000 cost of raw materials + × $250,000 penalty for not completing a bid plane = Profit:
Round 2 Bid: aircraft @ $200,000 per aircraft = Results: aircraft @ $200,000 per aircraft = Subtract: $3,000,000 overhead + × $30,000 cost of raw materials + × $250,000 penalty for not completing a bid plane = Profit:
Round 3 Bid: aircraft @ $200,000 per aircraft = Results: aircraft @ $200,000 per aircraft = Subtract: $3,000,000 overhead + × $30,000 cost of raw materials + × $250,000 penalty for not completing a bid plane = Profit
