    1. How did the decision making process help to create the problems for the Ford Pinto? Do these decisions represent optimizing behavior or satisfying on the part of Ford? If you were Lee Iacocca, would you have decided differently? How? During the decision making process, I find that Ford failed to consider what is in the best interest for the consumers, the organization wanted to create a quick fix solution thus alleviating responsibility to a nationwide safety concerns. When making decisions the organization is suppose to compare and contrast the pros and cons of every intricate detail within the manufacturing process. Instead of conducting primary and secondary research, the organization decided to take a shortcut in producing a product that compromised the safety of others and generated unnecessary legal ramifications that could have otherwise been prevented. The organization was more focused on manufacturing a compact vehicle for convenience in which case the product turned out to be a convenient death hazard. It is my belief that due to the organization reducing the time span of product concept and development, the company was at a disadvantage for the reason that the organization could not properly assess whether or not every need was being facilitated within the vehicle which opened the door to shoddy product distribution and decreased customer service satisfaction, with the increased number of casualties as a result. Lee Iaccoca's decision to speed up the process was definitely optimizing behavior, Lee felt as if speeding up the process would enable the organization to quickly launch the product in order to boost productivity and profitability. On the surface, this decision did not pose a threat within the organizations competitive analysis, however, speeding up the process of making a vehicle for consumers will only increase the probability of fatalities. Although, Lee knew that something needed to change within Ford's product infrastructure, I find that the organization would have had a better advantage if the organization did not conduct the tooling procedure simultaneously with the product development. I would have waited until the product development, research analysis and beta testing were completed first before tooling. Another mistake the organization made was not taking the crash test seriously, when they discovered that Pinto was failing the crash test, the organization should have continued developing the product in order to increase safety measures and reduce safety hazards. The organization needed to take time to further develop the product to ensure all potential glitches were examined and eliminated before launching the product to the public. It is better to ensure all safety procedures, regulation, and precautions are taken into consideration before actually launching the product.

    I noticed that men tend to be more aggressive and "pushy" to some degree whereas women are not as aggressive or assertive (some women, not all). Men are goal oriented and for that reason they tend to view each person as a potential customer with a "not taking a no for an answer" approach. Women take on a gentler approach in which case they don't want to appear too controlling and consider a "no" to be a possible "maybe." Men can handle rejection well and are not deterred by one "no" from a potential client, women on the other hand are a little more sensitive and do not handle rejection well, they tend to take it personal when a client rejects them. (The aforementioned statement is primarily from my own personal experienced and not based on fact just based on the people I have come into contact with during the negotiation process). Statistics show that "In the U.S. women compose half the professional managerial workforce. Half the students who earned college degrees last year were composed of women. Of those who have a personal net worth of more than $500,000, more than half are women. American women collectively earn more than $1 trillion a year. More than 7.7 million women-owned businesses in the U.S. generate $1.4 trillion a year. Women comprise 35 percent of the country's 51 million shareholders." (Booher, 2000).

    Shewhart Statistical Process Control (SPC) systems are applied in high-volume and repetitive manufacturing systems. The Shewhart SPC methodology is directed at signaling special causes of variation generated during a production run. Such signals are detected using control limits constructed on the basis of within-subgroup variability, measured after the process has been set up, adjusted, and brought into statistical control. In other words, "the process" to be monitored is that which exists after setup and adjustment. However, in a short-run production that is characterized by frequent setups of small production runs, SPC must be applied differently. SPC must incorporate a broader definition of the process, which recognizes ongoing volatility in the sequences of setups and production runs." (Kim and Schneiderjans, 2010).
