Prepare a product-by-value analysis for the following products, and given the position in its life cycle, identify the issues likely to confront the operations manager, and his or her possible actions. Product Alpha has annual sales of 750 units and a contribution of $3,500 per unit; it is in the introductory stage. Product Bravo has annual sales of 2,500 units and a contribution of $3,000 per unit; it is in the growth stage. Product Charlie has annual sales of 3,500 units and a contribution of $2,000 per unit; it is in the decline stage Product-by-value analysis Product Alpha Bravo Charlie Individual dollar contribution Total annual dollar contribution

Explanation / Answer

Total annual dollar contribution = Individual dollar contribution * Units

Alpha:

Individual dollar contribution = $3500

Total contribution = 3500 * 750 = $2,625,000

Bravo:

Individual dollar contribution = $3000

Total contribution = 3000 * 2500 = $7,500,000

Charlie:

Individual dollar contribution = $2000

Total contribution = 2000 * 3500 = $7,000,000
