TimeTech Short-term Commercial Decisions: A Comprehensive Simulation
Student-led · Six business AI agents collaborating on the special-order, make-or-buy and product-discontinuance decisions
A student-led set of short-term operating decisions: question six business roles to gather the facts, then judge whether to accept a special order for the T-100 priced below the normal selling price, whether to make the core chip in-house or buy it in, and whether to discontinue the T-50 — quantifying each option, separating relevant from irrelevant costs, and flagging the forecast risks.
The question
At the same time, the company has received a European special order priced below the normal selling price and a quotation to buy in the core chip, and it is facing a book loss on the T-50; it needs to arrive at a coherent short-term operating plan under resource constraints.
Company background
TimeTech Ltd. is a smartwatch manufacturer whose main products are the mid-range T-100 and the entry-level T-50.
