Case Understanding

and the quality of life on the planet. The dire need to monitor air quality is very glaring, owing to increased industrial activities over the past years. People need to know the extent to which their activities affect air quality. This project proposes an air pollution monitoring system by Two Friends Manoj Singh and Parth Mittal Both of them completed their B.Tech from Bengaluru (Karnataka). They both desired for improving the air quality of the atmosphere/environment. As Manoj who was closely associated with the R&D of his Air Quality company, had developed a concept of a hybrid product, which can monitor, manage and suggest the combinations to improve the air quality. This concept was far superior, compared to existing air purifiers, available in the market, which has limited scope of purification. which is the strength of this product. This concept is built with the help of natural plants and machines. They both started a new venture with this hybrid product with 50%-50% equity stake with each of them. The Authorized capital of the company was Rs. 2,00,000/- (Rupees Two Lakhs) only. Next 9 months involved rigorous hard work by both directors. These months were spent in further improving the concept, already developed by Manoj earlier. After a lot of struggles, they both reach a stage when their concept was now ready to take shape of a final hybrid product. The final product developed, consisted of 3 separate units of which two were physical units Air sensor and Air loop and one was software which is known as Air Quality System software, which were all synced as one single device. The cost unit of one physical unit of this product is Rs.23000 and the software used for this product management it can be developed with cost Rs.1, 20,00,000.

New Production Set-Up-

BCS Submission

A powerful new manufacturing plant layout is a key achievement in manufacturing facility management. It is not that easy to have the right impact on the performance. However, it can have an effect on the entire operation of your new manufacturing plant. It includes the manufacturing processes, inventory, dispatch, and administration. But PMCASPL has not that much budget and place to set-up new manufacturing layout so Gross Consultancy has Advised them to do agreement with another manufacturing company and give them some percentage from revenue.

  1. Manufacturing Services Contractor-

Contractor covenants and agrees to Manufacture the Products that Company requests it to Manufacture at the Factory utilizing Materials and any Provided Equipment Company consigns to Contractor and/or Materials purchased by Contractor, and Tools and Fixtures, machinery, equipment, and computer systems of Contractor. Contractor agrees that the Manufacture of Product hereunder shall be carried out in a good and workmanlike manner in compliance with the Specifications and instructions of Company provided to Contractor in writing from time-to-time as specified herein. Contractor agrees to provide fabrication, manufacturing and production services to meet Company’s Manufacture requirements in accordance with section 6 of this Agreement. Changes to forecast shall not affect Product pricing, unless mutually agreed in writing by the Parties hereto. Contractor shall have available to Manufacture Product all facilities, employees, Equipment (whether owned equipment, by Contractor or Shared Equipment or Provided Equipment), spare parts for owned equipment and Provided Equipment, computer systems and any other items required to Manufacture the Product ordered by Company. Company shall provide to Contractor all Specifications, manuals and other relevant documentation, any special equipment, necessary to Manufacture Product.

2.Production Set-Up Using Iot-

Stronger demand for customization, increasing customer expectations, the complexity of the global supply chain – these and many other challenges encourage manufacturers to find new, more innovative ways to remain competitive. In an attempt to gain productivity improvements and uncover new ways of enhancing manufacturing and supply chain operations, businesses resort to digital transformation.  

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a way to digital transformation in manufacturing. Industrial IoT employs a network of sensors to collect critical production data and uses cloud software to turn this data into valuable insights about the efficiency of the manufacturing operations.

The main adoption drivers for the Industrial IoT solution include:

  • Cost reduction. Due to optimized asset and inventory management (hence, lower inventory carrying costs and search times), reduced machine downtime, more agile operations, and more efficient energy use, companies reduce operational costs and create new sources of revenue. For instance, smart, connected products allow to shift from selling products to selling experience – product usage and post-sale services. 
  • Shorter time-to-market. Faster and more efficient manufacturing and supply chain operations allow reducing product cycle time. Harley-Davidson, for instance, leveraged IoT to reconfigure its York, PA manufacturing facility and managed to reduce the time  it takes to produce a motorbike from 21 days to 6 hours.
  • Mass customization. The mass customization process requires a dramatic increase in the variety of produced SKUs, which causes inventory to go up and become more diverse. Manufacturing operations get more complex as well – the production of 20 items of SKU X can be immediately followed by the production of 10 items of SKU Y. Tracking the inventory and the manufacturing operations becomes burdensome and, in some cases, not feasible. IIoT facilitates mass customization by becoming a source of real-time data required for thoughtful forecasting, shop floor scheduling and routing.
  • Improved safety. IIoT helps to ensure a safer workplace. Paired with wearable devices, IIoT allows monitoring workers’ health state and risky activities that can lead to injuries. Along with ensuring workers’ safety, IIoT addresses safety problems in potentially hazardous environments. For instance, in oil and gas industry, IIoT is applied to monitor gas leakages as it travels through the pipe network.

3.warehouse- Contract Warehousing Defined

Many companies need to store their goods or supplies for various reasons, and contract warehousing is one of the many dedicated storage options to choose from. Companies that don’t want to build, buy or rent their own warehouse space can enter into a third-party warehouse agreement with an outside provider who specializes in dedicated warehousing. This third-party warehouse provider will handle the storage, shipping and receiving of merchandise on behalf of their client. They can also add value by taking on more logistical tasks such as inventory management and making sure to follow distribution best practices.

INTEGRATED MARKETING COMMUNICATION STRATEGY

  1. The PMCASPL air purifier could be advertised creatively in newspapers and magazines such as the Economic Times, The Hindu, and The Times of India, which provide great exposure to people who are closely associated with industries, businesses, and government organizations.
  2. Due to a lack of awareness about decreasing life span of the people due to the deteriorating Air Quality Index. Dynamic banners and hoarding can prove to be effective in creating FOMO among people in order to encourage them to do impulse purchases of the air purifier.
  3. A Guerilla marketing strategy could be executed at a prime location in each targeted city, where the company would set up a cabin with an installation of the air purifier, enabling the passer-by to experience the difference in the AQI of the cabin versus its surroundings. This strategy will eventually lead to getting viral on social networking sites and Youtube.

SWOT ANALYSIS

STRENGTH- PMCASPL is known as the most advanced air purifier for its superior value offering to its customer which no other air-purifier company can provide in the current market. Units don’t occupy a lot of space and could be installed easily.         

WEAKNESS- AQMS manufacturing cost is very high i.e. Rs. 1,20,00,000/- Thus, it becomes quite difficult for the company to sell out at the price with a considerable profit margin. The target market has been restricted to industrialists and businesses with high revenue generation.

OPPORTUNITY- Latest report that says that there are 63 Indian cities among the world’s top 100 polluted cities will generate high demand for this product in the country and will lead to market development for this product. Government initiative and efforts toward enhancing the air quality of the concerned cities.

THREAT- The threat of the new entrant could be a threat to the firm to compete with the current pricing of the air purifier. The bargaining capacity of the buyers could be the other issue that could cause a reduction in the company’s profit margin. Rivalry industries or the existence of competitor who has more exposure and good distribution channel in the market.

PRICING STRATEGY-

  1. Skimming: In this strategy the price for new product is set very high initially (at launch). This ensures getting high revenue from all the segment of buyers. Perhaps launch of a new highly anticipated smartphone is an example for this. Price of the newly launched iPhone or a Samsung flagship phone is always very high initially and with time we can see the prices fall.
  2. Penetrative: This is the strategy in which the focus is on grabbing maximum marketshare. Hence, the price of the product is set very low initially (at launch) so that it can penetrate the market and attract buyers of all segments. Reliance Jio is a perfect example for this strategy. The prices of services was zero at launch, eventually they were set at a fraction of the existent competition’s prices. Consequently Jio has been able to grab a significant marketshare in spite of being a new entrant in the industry.
  3. High-Low Pricing: In this strategy the pricing is set high but the product is sold with heavy discounts and promotions. The high price (list price) signals to the market that there is immense value being delivered in this product. This is done to ensure an increase in the foot traffic and ensuring that enough interest is generated in the audience. This is seen quite frequently in the Xiaomi products sale.
  4. Freemium Pricing: This is the most common pricing model these days. Freemium in itself has many different variations to execute. In one of the variants, the product is available for free for a certain duration only, after which the customer has to purchase the license to continue using. Another variant is based on usage threshold, the customer can use the product until a certain usage threshold is hit (number of transactions, number of users etc.) after which the customer is required to buy.
  5. Decoy & Psychological Pricing: The prices for similar products is set differently to drive more sales for the cheaper alternative. SAAS companies use this for driving sales to a specific plan. Retail stores do this at times too, to drive more sales to a new product.
  6. Predatory Pricing (can be illegal): In predatory pricing, the product is given away for free. The company may be making loss on each sale but this is potentially done to drive the competition out of the market completely. One example of this is Uber when they started, they werelosing money on each transaction. Another legacy example is of Internet Explorer. This was provided for free with the OS by Microsoft. In those days, Netscape Navigator the prominent web browser in the market was a paid product.
  7. Dynamic Pricing: This is something we have all experienced in case of Uber. The price is changed based on the demand and/or supply; known as surge pricing in case of Uber. Hotel room booking, flights booking are other examples where dynamic pricing is widely used.
  8. As discussed above using sales forcasting and calculation our finance team analyzed the MRP of the product is Rs10000. this price is very afordable for target market and it is competitive in nature.

3.IT development:-

BCS Submission
  1. Air Sensor

Air quality sensors are devices used to detect contaminants in the air. This includes particulates, pollutants and noxious gases that may be harmful to human health. They are used in applications like air quality monitoring, gas detection in industry, combustion controllers and oxygen generators in aircraft. Volatile organic compound (VOC) sensors are available that are capable of detecting volatile chemicals and odorous pollutants.

2.Air Quality Management System.

One of the effective means of developing this software is by using Machine Learning. The entire R&D will we done around collection of data sets. We can have a look at the trends in the data and build our models around it.

Creating a tab for FAQs and also having a chatbot for assistance to the user, if any required.

We can also have an engine at the backend that’ll let us know from which forum the users are getting redirected to our application. This will help the management teams to decide their future marketing strategies.

4.Air Loop

The purifier’s sleek cylindrical design is a result of its function—air travels from the base upwards, passing through a plant as well as 3 mechanical filters (nylon, HEPA, and activated carbon), before making it into Aria’s UV chamber that neutralizes any harmful microorganisms.

An ionizer destroys VOCs and odors to produce fresh-smelling air before it is pushed through Aria’s ‘air booster’ at the top of the planter.

4. Training needs and assessment design

An effective approach for air quality management in polluted areas involves (i) identification of emission sources; (ii) assessment of extent of contribution of these sources on ambient environment; (iii) prioritizing the sources that need to be tackled; (iv) evaluate various options for controlling the sources with regard to feasibility and economic viability; and (v) formulation and implementation of appropriate action plans. In order to achieve these steps, a preliminary knowledge and understanding of the air pollution and air quality management is a necessity.

Employee Motivation Strategies

1. External Motivation

Fear — You had better get this right, or you will lose money, job, respect, relationship, status, etc.

Incentives — If you do this right, you will gain money, recognition, status, promotion, better lifestyle, etc.

The impact of external motivation is temporary. When the threat or incentive is removed, motivation is lost.

2. Internal Motivation

Levels of thinkingMost employees understand that “If it is to be, it’s up to me.” Many set worthwhile goals, BUT their suboptimal thinking prevents them from being their

best. They fail to take the best actions to achieve the best outcomes. They compromise their best interests and their organization. They just don’t deploy consistent Optimal Thinking.

You can create an inclusive “Best Place to Work” environment where loyal employees bring the best version of themselves to work. Optimal Thinking employees don’t rely on a pat on the back from management or a bonus at the end of the year to do their best. They focus on what is most important and ask the best questions to invite the best solutions. They make the most of the hands they are dealt. External incentives, recognition, and rewards are secondary for these self-motivated optimizers. All aspects of workplace trust proliferate in an Optimal Thinking collaborative culture, including:

credibility

transparency

respect

fairness

pride

camaraderie

optimization
