PMGT Lecture 14: Product Recall Case-Gagandeep
Document Summary
Prepare a list of questions that you will need to have answered in order to analyze this situation. Prepare a list of observations regarding the information provided in the case. The observations can be made on the repair time taken by the engineers as well as the workers which can help us determine if the learning rate was appropriately calculated as per the workers" level or not. The calculations are as follows: for engineers: Thus, repair time= 560/140= 4 hours: for workers: Hence, the learning rate for the workers is 87. 5%. As is evident from the calculated repair time for both the company"s engineers and the dealer"s workers, the skill level of the engineers and the workers is obviously not the same. The engineers are clearly overqualified for the job as they have more expertise in the system as compared to average repair workers in dealerships. Moreover, all the workers cannot have the same skill level too.
