Example input
A company faces quality issues with a material used in a portion of their product line, particularly affecting specific regions with distinct environmental conditions. This has led to financial losses due to warranty claims and customer attrition. An alternative material, which resolves these issues, has been identified but comes at a higher cost, potentially impacting profitability.
The challenge lies in determining whether to adopt the new material for the affected product variants, which make up a certain percentage of the product line's sales. A significant portion of the target market resides in regions with the problematic environmental conditions. Over the past few years, the company has incurred considerable expenses in warranty claims. Annual sales have varied, with the highest revenue reaching a substantial amount.
The company must weigh the benefits of improved product quality and customer satisfaction against the increased production costs associated with the new material. This decision is further complicated by the fact that most competitors have already transitioned to similar alternative materials, potentially putting pressure on the company to make the change to remain competitive in the market.
