# CapSim Round 5

## General thoughts
### Bold/Buddy kinda dead 
Lost money on Performance and Size segments (Bold & Buddy)

![product margins](https://i.imgur.com/z0aO2vO.png)

- contribution margin already low on bold/buddy
- labor/materials expensive in comparison to sales
        - are we able to even lower these?
- can we reduce promotion/sales for bold/buddy just to keep it net positive?
        - does it even matter? such a small total % compared to Low end
----


## R & D
- keep Low end the same to age it out

### New product?
- takes one year I think
- segment: maybe trad?? low end might require more age
- depends on cost though
- Team F has 3 products taking up combined 29% trad market share

----


## Marketing
- follow Savana's lead on sales/promo costs
        - but look at income statement if we want to maybe lower for Bold/Buddy

Second opinion:

### Capacity
- should be ok as it is
- might be able to sell some of Buddy if needed

### Automation
- mainly move Trad up and a bit of the last three if we have $$
- I think we aren't supposed to be going above 7.0 for the last three

## Finance
- idk, whatever Savana and Ben say lol

## HR/TQM
- keep HR what it was, maxed
- Luis has values for TQM
