â?¢ Plastic housing:
o USA
â?¢ Key ring:

You have been directed by your superiors to buy the parts separately from suppliers in different countries, rather than purchase the completed units. Select one country to supply each part. Keep in mind that you are supplying a major automotive company that manufactures, on average, 835,000 cars per year. Your company has added a new dealership line to receive the key fob remote. The projected sales for the next six months are 150,000 cars, needing two fobs each.
