Northern Drilling Inc., an investigation diamond-drilling contractor, has been requested to tender a bid for a lucrative, highly complex contract with Mond Nickel. Compounding the issue is a lack of skilled labour in the business.
At precisely the same time, Northern's largest client, Noranda Nickel, is seeing inferior geological results on a job in the same place. Northern's management is required to determine whether to acquire added costs and leave a capacity cushion in an attempt to keep its exceptional relationship with its present customer, or whether it should instead utilize the drills on the new job. The main problem facing Northern's management is without endangering the present job, whether the brand new contract, both financially and technically can not be handled by northern.
