BRANDS CLOTHING MANUFACTURERS LTD

Brands Clothing Manufacturers is situated in Durban. It makes a range of clothing aimed
mainly at the teenage market. They receive their income by selling its goods to all clothing
chain stores in South Africa. Recently management has noticed a decline in sales and that
its customers, the large clothing retailers, can import clothing from China at a much cheaper
price.

Some of the machinery at Brands is outdated. The new computerised machinery, which has
to be imported from China, is too expensive because of the unfavourable exchange rate. If
Brands buys the new machinery the workers who operate the current machines will loose
their jobs because they do not have the skills to use new technology.

Brands secured a loan of R1 000 000 from African Bank at 14%p.a. but the monthly
instalments have increased as a result of an increase in the interest rate.

Rising fuel has increased costs and reduced profitability.

Recently, a new manufacturing company, Yens New Look Clothing opened 10 kilometres
from Brands, It is BEE compliant with women in management unlike Brands. It sells
clothing cheaper and has the latest machinery,
