To: Engineering Dept. Subject: Custom Order from ISAE Industries Widely dissimilar industries have recently discovered the advantage of custom overstock cantilever racks. As a result, demand for custom orders has been escalating. An occasional although satisfied customer. ISAE Industries, is well aware of our reputation for quality and is currently weighing our quality.price, and production time against that of our competitors. ISAE has recently acquired an on-going order from a national client and.consequently, is inaugurating plants and warehouses in three different states next year with the potential augmentation of five distribution warehouses annually sparning the following eight years.The warehouses will peremptorily command thousands of units of rack (and other material handling accoutrement) to fulfill the emptorily engendered by the order. Design requirements must be calculated for nonstock cantilever rack. Two different sets of specifications must be met, but the arms on both must have a bearing capacity of at least 2 ton per pair.Both must be modular so that, in the future, collateral units may be appended to existing units. First set requirements: The single-sided uprights must be 81/2 feet in height and the arms must extend 63/4 feet. The arms must have no lip. The braces must maintain a distance of 5 feet between uprights (measured on center) so that forklifts can move freely between the bases to load and remove sheet and plate onto and from the will support four arms. Second set requirements: The double-sided uprights must be 20 feet in height with six 41/2 foot arms extending from one side and five 51/2 foot arms extending from the other. The arms must end with a vertical restraining lip that protrudes no more than 1 inch. The uprights must be 6 feet apart (measured on center) so that channel and angle bar stock may be loaded and unloaded easily over the arms. If satisfied with the cantilever rack, the customer will provide specifications for hand and platform trucks needed to convey unwieldy materials. You work in the Engineering Department.

The correct answer is C. your company needs to enhance its reputation for filling custom orders.Explanation:The document states that ISAE Industries is weighing the quality, price, and production time of the custom cantilever rack against that of the competitors. This indicates that ISAE is considering the custom order and is evaluating the company's reputation for quality and production time. If the company can fill the custom order to ISAE's satisfaction, it will enhance the company's reputation for filling custom orders, which can lead to more business opportunities in the future.
