However, the costs and time of production have been on the rise. Due to these problems, raising the current prices and reducing the number of motorcycles produced within annually may be inevitable in the foreseeable future. Since this could be lead to a decline in productivity, customer satisfaction, and sustainability of the company, it is necessary to find a long-lasting solution” Assignment Rubric Your submission will be reviewed using this rubric.
