segment value different standards as they evaluate products.
Customer Survey Score *Ans* A product's demand is driven by this monthly number. Assuming that
the product does not run out of inventory, a product with a higher score in this will likely outsell a
product with a lower score. These numbers are calculated 12 times a year (i.e. scores are calculated once
a month because a product's age and positioning change a little each month). It shows how well a
product meets its segment's buying criteria.

from the Capstone Spreadsheet, click Help in the menu bar 2) on the website, log into your simulation

size. (i.e. products of this type fall inside the lower-right set of dashed and solid circles)
Industry Conditions Report *Ans* Lists market segment sales percentages and projected growth
rates. It is published once at the beginning of the simulation- and it is available in the Dashboard.
Industry Conditions Report *Ans* Outlines the beginning business environment, including customer
buying criteria. This report is available from your simulation Dashboard.
Inter-Department Coordination between Finance and Production Departments *Ans* Production tells
Finance if it needs money for additional equipment [If Finance cannot raise enough money, Production
must scale back or perhaps sell idle inventory]

Revenues for each product and to set the Accounts Receivable policy [this policy is the amount of time,
customers can take to pay for their purchases]

determine capacity]. If Marketing discontinues a product, it tells Production to sell the product's
production line.
