For nearly 20 years, Crane Coatings has provided painting and galvanizing services for manufacturers in its region. Manufacturers of various metal prod ucls have relied on the quality and quick turnaround time provided by Crane Coatings and its 20 skilled employees. During the past year, as a result of a sharp upturn in the economy, the companyfs sales have increased by 30% relative to the previous year. The company has not been able to increase its capacity fast enough. so Crane Coatings has had to turn work away because it cannot keep up with customer requests. Top management is considering the purchase of a sophisticated robotic painting booth. The booth would represent a considerable move in the direction of automation versus manual labour. If Crane Coatings purchases the booth, it would most likely lay off 15 of its skilled painters. To analyze the decision, the company compiled production information from the most recent year and then prepared a parallel compilation assuming that the company would purchase the new equipment and lay off the workers. As you can see, the company projects that during the past year it would have been far more protable if it had used the automated approach.
