Sprocket manufacturing. The manager of this production firm is faced with a potential problem: shortages in the supply of a vital gear sprocket. He is considering the development of an in-house capability to make the sprockets, knowing that the firm needs 35,000 such sprockets each year. If the firm elects to make the sprockets internally, then it must select one of the three possible production processes. Each has different costs, as shown in Table 10.17.

A company's board consists of 4 people: Abigail (the CEO), Benoit, Charlie, and Debra. When they take a vote, if there is a majority (either up or down), that vote prevails. If, however, there is a tie, then Abigail's vote is the tie-breaker (e.g. if A&B vote up, and C&D vote down, the outcome is "up", because A's vote breaks the tie). The truth table will show all possible combinations of the 4 votes, and the final decision for each.
