A. Analyze your simulation results by addressing the following prompts (A1 through A4). Note: Reflect on the following in your analysis: Your actions during the simulation, the relationship between your actions and your simulation results, your success compared to other competitors, and alternatives to your actions that could have produced better results in the simulation. Keeping your analysis and the simulation content in mind, do the following:
1. Explain how you determined your product design decisions in the simulation.

Product offering: As CEO I decided that it made most sense to build a Workhorse for the office market and the Mercedes for the engineering market. I assumed that design costs could be kept down by creating a product platform that could be used for two different markets. Both products use a lot of similar components such as the case, the motherboard, the hard drive, graphics card, keyboard, mouse, etc. Had I chosen to offer a traveler R&D we would have to be split up design because the requirements would have been very different due the nature of the product, one being a desktop product and one being a mobile product. In addition I would have to create two different assembly lines, one for the desktop and one for the laptop.

The second design consideration for the office and the engineering product were based on features customers wanted to see in an office or engineering product. For the office product, customer wanted a PC that is easy to use, low price, had office apps, offered after sales support, could link with other PC’s, and was fun to use, fast and powerful and easy on the eyes. The product I designed was easy to use, had office applications, could link to other PC’s, offered a normal speed and easy on the eyes. I reasoned that for most office environments a higher computing power was not necessary. I also felt games were
