Allure is a Japanese automotive manufacturer that specializes in family sedans, trucks, and SUVs. In the 1980s, Allure saw a great opportunity to sell its vehicles in North America. As a result, in 1981 Allure started Allure Canada, a wholly owned subsidiary of Allure Japan. Since 1981, the Allure brand has become popular in Canada. Many published consumer reports have referred to the Allure sedan as the safest family car on the road in Canada. The Allure vehicles are know very n for lasting several years and many families use r more than 10 years. Other than regular maintenance, Allure vehicles generally do not require major repair within the first five years. Since the expansion into North America, Allure has subsidiaries all over the world, including several European countries. In 1981, when Allure first started its operations in Canada, 100% of the manufacturing was in Japan. In 1990, Allure opened its first manufacturing facility outside of Japan in Ontario. The Ontario plant would be responsible for manufacturing all of the vehicles for the Canadian market. The majority of the parts are manufactured in-house or outsourced to a third party in Canada. In order to maintain control, Allure Japan shipped all spark plugs (an important part of each engine) to the Canadian subsidiary. Allure Japan has a very efficient inventory control system and traditionally has not involved the Canadian division in deciding how many spark plugs would be shipped to Canada each month. Allure Japan always ships enough spark plugs to Canada every month to ensure that 50% of the next month's demand is met. (Each vehicle four spark plugs.) During 20X2, Japan suffered from a very significant earthquake that caused severe dam age across the country, including the destruction of Allures manufacturing plant. On December 15, Allure Japan notified the Canadian subsidiary that it would not be shipping any more spark plugs to Canada for at least one requires year On December 15, Allure Canadas Vice President of Operations, Elena Zajac, received the notice that Allure Japan would not ship any more spark plugs for a year, and she called an emergency meeting. At the meeting were the production manager, Alain Boulerice, and you, the cost accountant. Elena has asked that you review sales forecasts (Exhibit1) for the following year, and determine the monthly amounts of plugs to purchase and the cash requirements to do so. As soon as the earthquake hit Japan, Alain was wor ried that something like this could happen. Alain has received quotes from two suppliers (Exhibit 2) brought them to the meeting for your review. nd Required Elena has asked you to state which one of the suppliers' offers you would recommend and mention y potential concerns. Write a report to Elena, keeping in mind that Allure Canada has a limited number o spark plugs in inventory
