Mitel Analysis

We evaluated our company’s position in the industry, and found ourselves in an excellent starting position to further develop our products and match them to the industry’s needs. Our market share is adequate and we can advance further with our strategy improve and reposition our products in the coming years. We have underutilized capacity, which we intend to improve, while increasing automation to reduce costs. We have plans to improve our promotion to improve product awareness and with the appropriate product lines we will increase price to improve margins and better align our high-end product image. Our current financial position is optimistic, showing our leverage (Assets/Equity) at 2.0, when our goal is to maintain 1.5-2.0 overall. By utilizing the analysis tools we are learning what elements are driving demand, how to effectively tailor our products through R&D, how best to adjust our marketing and pricing, while lowering input costs, in order to improve margins and to ensure our stakeholders are all satisfied.

Looking at CSP technology only from the Mon Valley perspective is a mistake – the current plant puts a lot of restrictions on the project. If the technology and market is looked at independently from Mon Valley, then my recommendation would be more concretely recommend investing in a new greenfield plant based on the minimills model. It may also be practical for USS to house the disruptive technology as an independent entity.

Another weakness is seen on the limited space for expansion that is in the infrastructure. The current infrastructure can only accommodate 30 employees and even if there is the plan of growth by 20%, the space might not be adequate as growth normally necessitates a lot of space (Gupta & Jayaraman, 2010). This is because, there might be a need for a few offices and the current architecture might not be enough for the expansion and thus could delay the expansion.

We will now calculate the costs and benefits, if any, from resizing the facility to process a total of 41,000 bbl/day (i.e. increase of 5,000 bbl/day).

Lastly, the company suggest to expand their current inventory through increasing production and capacity. With the increase in production rate the company can gain more consumers as a whole through supply and demand. Doing this would give the company an opportunity for more exposure and perhaps better brand recognition.

technology whose demand and sales do not have a proven track record, but it still will be able to count on its current alligator tag, system and other sales to help fund it.

It seemed likely that this growth would be replicated by the entire auto industry. However, this growth did not increase the market position of the auto industry, as the semiconductor industry was growing faster than the automotive industry market component. Based on these observations, it became clear that something had to change. The 1980 semiconductor supply situation was intolerable. Of equal or greater concern, projected growth in electronics requirements appeared to be unsupportable.

There is a market demand of 10000 units for our product and is growing at a rate of 22% annually. By taking advantage of this boom market for its recent growth in sales and profitability. Sales are projected to grow from the first quarter of Year 1 total of $1,500,000 to $6 million

Effective Capacity in the Feb-2014 is calculated at 80% of the efficiency, if it had efficiency more than 80% then also its effective capacity will decrease that will leads to enormous wastage and sales.
