Copeland Corp.: Evolution of a Manufacturing Strategy--1975-82 (C)
By: David A. Garvin
Abstract
In the preceding case, Copeland had to choose between two alternative plant layouts for organizing its Sidney plant. Now it must get work force approval for a change in "bumping" rules before proceeding with the change. Management must decide how to proceed--to continue with the reorganization, delay the moving of equipment and personnel, or drop the project completely.
