Accordingly, decision rules #1 and #2 presented in the case seem reasonable at first glance for Blackheath‘s typical business. However, note that these decision rules do depend on expected volume (the rules presented in the case assume an average volume of 500 units per week), so they would change with any change in expected volume. In addition, these decision rules assume that there is sufficient capacity to handle all business won.
