Case -Ruskin Manufacturing has guaranteed Parker Products that it will deliver the complete order of small machines by the tenth of the month, a Friday.
Parker had already extended its deadline once. This time, it insists, the date must be met. Tim Vinson, head of quality control, had been confident the deadline would be met. But on the eighth he learns that a new component of the machines is in short supply.
Tim realizes that he must decide whether to try to meet the deadline by using the old component (or by some other means) or to inform Parker Products that Ruskin will not be able to deliver the product on time. Before making a decision, Tim decides to consult with Chuck Davidson, the chief design engineer for this product.
Chuck says, "I don't have a good answer for you. There's no time to come up with a completely satisfactory alternative. You could regrind, but given the time frame, you might get a lot of impurities. Or you could just use the old components. But I'm not going to advise either of those. I don't want this hanging over my head. Maybe you should call Arnold."
Arnold Peterson is vice president of Product Engineering. Years ago, like Tim Vinson, Arnold served as head of quality control. Tim is somewhat uneasy about calling Arnold for two reasons.
First, Tim feels responsible for not seeing the problem earlier, and he is reluctant to admit failure to the vice president. Second, he wonders if Arnold would really want to be bothered by something like this. He might simply tell Tim that the problem is his to solve -- somehow. Still, Tim is not comfortable with the idea of just resolving the problem by himself, yet he decides to do so.
