Fell-Fab Products (A)
Fell-Fab Products is a manufacturer of interior coverings for airlines, bus companies and passenger rail services. A secondary business for the company is the manufacture of other sewn and welded textiles such as mail bags, tents, etc. One of Fell-Fab Products' important airline customers asked the company if it was interested in diversifying into service by taking on a contract to manage all aspects of the interior coverings business. The president of Fell-Fab Products must assess the differences between service management and manufacturing, decide whether Fell-Fab is capable of doing a good job at service and determine whether the business makes economic sense for the company. This case and the accompanying Fell-Fab Products (B) case (product 9B00D022) explore some of the implications of manufacturers diversifying into services. -
Fell-Fab Products (B)
Shortly after Fell-Fab Products went through the decision-making process of whether to move into service management in addition to manufacturing, it learned that European Airlines, one of its major European customers, would no longer purchase products directly from Fell-Fab Products. Instead, European Airlines instructed Fell-Fab Products to sell to Aircraft Interior Refurbishment. The president of Fell-Fab wondered how this information would affect his decision. This supplement to Fell-Fab Products (A) (9B00D021) raises the possibility of a strategic alliance.
