14. 5. RECOMMANDATION
In the above total cost analysis The Advance Tech Company
annual cost is lowest but financial condition is not so good
and they are not interested to sign contract less then 100
million and FTC target is 75 million per year so best choice
would be D-Drive Systems.
Because of the following factors 1. Although annual cost is high but FTC can get corporatenegotiated rate discounts by supporting it inbound logistics.
2. Quality Concern: lowest defect parts per millions
3. Lead Time is lowest
4. On time delivery record is highest
5. Capacity is second highest
Continued…

15. 5. RECOMMANDATION
6.Ram-up Time is lowest
7.Frequency of Shipment is every other day
8.Financial Risk is lowest.
9.D-Drive System 10 miles from FTC assembly facility
10.FTC not need to manage inventory and safety stock.
So Fastraq Technology Corporation can sign agreement with the
D-Drive Systems for outsource DVD Drive to catch the back to
school market without any risk .
