    Lorman Lumber Case Study

    Lorman Lumber Case Study

    Lorman Lumber is a publicly traded company with widely held shares. Its Yamica location in rural Oregon is one of the company’s largest. The purpose of the plant is to process and treat wood, which it does through a number of facilities. The Sawmill began producing lumber products in 1947, which it does by peeling, milling, and chipping raw wood. Lorman has a known record of producing good profits, and will often pay out generous performance-based bonuses to executives. Although the Yamica plant is somewhat outdated, it is still considered to be efficient and profitable. Starting in 1968, the company began using new methods to condition and pressure-treat wood products through the use of preservatives. These chemicals, Creosote and PCP, are reported in recent data that suggests a possible link to various health disorders. The problem lies with a number of drainage ditches surrounding the plant that drain into the Mohegan River, which then leads to Yamica’s municipal water intake two miles downstream. The river is also used for recreational fishing, and houses sensitive fisheries. The plant’s drainage ditches are screened to remove the required level of contaminants by the EPA. This case focuses around Ben Watson, a young managerial accountant and assistant production manager for Lorman Lumber Co.’s Yamica sawmill. Ben has been with the company for six years, where he is working on an analysis of a proposed capital investment to recapture and recycle wastewater by refitting the Sawmill with a closed cycle system. Ben is under significant pressure because of this project: • • The data collected for the analysis is based on educated estimates, which given the sensitivity of the project, creates an uneasy feeling. The number of people affected: While the town of Yamica could have potential health problems from contaminants, the town relies heavily on employment at the Sawmill.…

    Kilkenny Lumber Case Study

    1. Productivity of the crew would be below standard. I believe for the productivity to be below standard because they were sent to this crew because of their lack of work. Just because they have been assigned to another crew, does not mean that they will begin to work well right away. When compared to the Equity Theory, I believe there to be positive inequity for the three men assigned to the new group. For being assigned to the group due to lack of work, it is unfair to have a higher pay grade than those who have been in the company for a longer period of time and who are doing their job correctly. This may cause issues with subprofessionals being motivated to work to their full potentials because they may see it as being unfair and at the same time the professionals may think they do not need to work as hard.…

    The decades old debate over aluminum vs. wood bats will probably exist as long as the choice is available. Baseball was played with wooden bats for a great number of years. In fact, even with the advancements in aluminum bats, it’s the professionals who use wood bats and the amateurs who use the all-mighty aluminum bats. So, the question is which is better, wood or aluminum?…

    On a net basis, the trade discount of 2% is offset by the borrowing rate of 11%. However, since Clarkson’s profits are driven by volumes, their line of credit allows them to continue their growth in sales. Based on our calculations, for Clarkson to achieve $5.5 million in sales in 1996, they would only be able to purchase 95% of their cost of goods sold from their $750k credit line.…

    Analysis Of 84 Lumber: Let's Build A Wall

    Immigration especially illegal immigration has been a very touchy subject in the United States for a while now, but within the last few years it has been brought into light for review. This includes a suggestion by our current president, Donald Trump, who has said many times “I will build a great, great wall on our Southern border and I’ll have Mexico pay for that wall" (Donald J. Trump). Deportation has been on the rise, and so has separation of families. In this commercial by 84 lumber we get to walk in the footsteps of a mother and daughter who are attempting to cross Americas southern boarder. After arriving, they are greeted by a newly constructed “great wall” (Trump).…
