please answer the question at the bottome and explain as much as you can! Thank You!

Broken Welds A manufacturer of mountain bicycles designed an auto- mated system for welding bike frames. For 3 sys- tem worked nicely, handling about 1,000 frames per shift. years, the Production was scheduled for two shifts per day. The sys- tem was designed to weld the frame and then to check the quality of each weld. The welded frames were then trans- ported to another plant for assembly. Recently, a few of the frames had failed. Careful testing showed that a foreign substance in the welding rod pur- chased from an outside vendor possibly contributed to the failure. When checked, however, the rods conformed to the specifications given to the Purchasing Department and guaranteed by the vendor. The Chief Engineer ordered the Production Department's Project Leader, Alison Passette, to create a project immediately to find out pre- cisely what was causing the failures and to find a way to solve the problem. This project was to take priority over all other projects in the department. Alison was familiar with the Chief Engineer's tendency to overreact to any glitches in the production process, so she decided to determine the impact of the proposed pro- ject on all the other projects in the department. She also discussed the problem with Ken Kelsey, one of her welding experts, who felt sure he could solve the welding problems by determining what foreign substance, if any, caused the problem. He could then set up a system to detect the pres- ence of the substance and reweld the affected frames, Of course, he added, they would also have to change their specifications for the welding rod to eliminate the chemi- cal responsible for the failures. What information does Alison need to determine the probable impact o Kelsey's proposed project on the other projects in the department? How does her findings affect her decision about Kelsey's project
