The three permanent decisions first, and for each: the answer, the reasoning, and the alternatives named explicitly. Organizations and item master. A dedicated item master and three inventory organizations — then the case for folding the central store into Assembly. Both are defensible. The item model.

One cost organization with two books — then the case for two cost organizations given the different cost character of the two plants. This is the closest call in the brief. Then the remaining design decisions, and here things are actually solved rather than listed. The overhead basis: machine-hour absorption at Fabrication, labour-hour at Assembly, via work-center-level rates.
