This player is significantly less expensive than similar products sold by Kendrick's competitors, but the Orlicon offers just DVD playback, compared with DVD and Blu-ray playback offered by competitor Vem Manufacturing. Furthermore, the Orlicon has experienced production problems that have resulted in significant rework costs. Vern's model has an excellent reputation for quality. As a result of the actions taken, quality has significantly improved in 2017 while rework and unit costs of the Orlicon have decreased. Kendrick has reduced manufacturing capacity because capacity is no longer needed to support rework. Kendrick has also lowered the Orlicon's selling selling price to gain market share and unit sales have increased. x Data table $ 2016 2017 1. Units of Orlicon produced and sold 3,000 7,000 2.
