Strategic Business Model Evaluation
A traditional, high-end tailoring business is experiencing declining profits. Their process relies on highly skilled, expensive artisans who can only produce a few garments per day. The owner is considering adopting a new production model. This model uses custom software to convert a client's body measurements into instructions for computer-controlled cutting machinery, with the work distributed across numerous workstations, allowing for the rapid production of customized clothing at a lower cost.
Evaluate the potential benefits and drawbacks for this traditional business if it were to adopt such an automated system. Conclude with a justified recommendation on whether the business should make this strategic shift.
