The Prioritization of Projects BACKGROUND The directorates of Engineering, Marketing, Manufacturing, and R&D all had projects that they were working on and each directorate established its own pri-orities for the projects. The problem was that the employees were working on multiple projects and had to deal with competing priorities. PRIORITIZATION ISSUES Lynx Manufacturing was a low-cost producer of cables and wires. The industry itself was considered as a low-technology industry and some of its products had been manufactured the same way for decades. There were some projects to improve the manufacturing processes, but they were few and far between. Each of the four directorates, namely Engineering, Marketing, Manufacturing, and R&D, had projects, but the projects were generally quite small and used resources from only its own directorate. By the turn of the century, manufacturing technologies began to grow and Lynx had to prepare for the technology revolution that was about to impact its business. Each directorate began preparing lists of projects that it would need to work on, and some of the lists contained as many as 2.00 projects.
