Which Alternative amongst the 4 do you think is the best? And Why? Give your reasons. Or if you have come up with your own alternative plan, give its details.
John Bridges, Hamilton's chief electrical engineer manifestation about the oil rig pumping motor has brought nuisance for the Vancouver technologies so keeping in mind the findings of john bridges VT has only one feasible option to consider in my eyes as he has rated the motors of Spartan and universal above the Vancouver technologies motor. Here is my recommendation for the alternative and rationale attached to it.
John Bridges, Hamilton's chief electrical engineer is the head of Hamilton's oil company which owns and operate 30% of total oil producing wells in Canada so his conclusions would have a huge impact in the coming months on the market share of Vancouver technologies .Alternative 4 which is about persuading bridges and Hamilton executives about unduly harping on the maximum torque is out of question as there are speculations that to convince Bridges about the test result and to change his recommendations is very difficult as he is taking undue pride in the authorship of test result. Similarly alternative 1 gives a short term solution to the problem as they are waiting for the official results and conclusion of the test result but if it stands like this then it will be a huge problem for Vancouver after 5 months .So keeping in mind the requirements set by john bridges which is emphasized too much on the maximum torque .VT has to use alternative 2 i.e. reengineering its 7.5hp motor to give it a starting torque equal to or greater than 7.5hp of Spartan motors. This can be obtained by using a large motor frame as standard motor mounting dimensions are not important in oil well pumping applications. Although the manufacturing cost of this motor would be $867 and consequently the selling price would increase but the catch is that as it is mentioned in the case study that foreign manufacturers were selling 10% to 20% below Canadian established prices but still motors for oil well pumping machines were purchased by Canadian manufacturers and oil rig people paradoxically wants maximum torque which will be consequently provided by this modification and it will take 3 to 4 months to manufacture these machines so by the time official test results come VT would be ready and this is more of a proactive approach as compared to other approaches
