THE ULTIMATE SPEED DETECTING CHIPINTRODUCTION

Though “speeding” is an extremely well known problem worlwide due to its widespread

consequences of life loss, fatal/serious injuries, road crashes and more, “we can’t afford to

ignore speeding on our roads.” Speeding is a major problem because not only it consists

social and monetary cost to the government and society, it also involves environmental

costs.

There have been many solutions to try and solve speeding as it has been around for a long

time. In order for speeding to be resolve, it’s best to start from sovling it’s most common

underlying cause of bad driving habits of the drivers. But of course we can’t control their

brain in order to stop their bad driving habits, however, we can enforce more on the

consequences from speeding to remind the drivers about how hazardous and expensive

speeding is at all levels. This solution will convince the drivers to at least minimise their bad

driving habits which will lead to a decrease in speeding rate and therefore has a positive

flow on effect on the different costs of speeding to the government, society and

environment.

Supplier power: Low Supplier power would be low because there are quite a lot of

suppliers around the world that supplies speed detecting

components such as Global Sources, Alibab.com, Indiamart and

etc.

http://www.indiamart.com/

Threat of new entrants: Low Threat of new entrants would be low because it’s very hard to

enter the market as it requires a lot of set up costs (e.g

technology), knowledge and time.

http://www.delonixradar.com.au/new-zealand/

Threat of substitutes: Low Threat of substitutes would be fairly low because there are only

very few subtitutes available, such as offering speeding tickets.

Rivalry among existing

competitors:

Low Rivalry among existing competitors will therefore be low because

there aren’t many competitors in the Industry in N.Z.

Overall attractiveness of the industry: Very attractive. Huge potential of becoming a

business.

3.3 Customers and Their Needs

The targeted customers will most likely be the police and racer speed detertors, because it

is such a high-quality product and is only suitable for them and their different situations.

This is because the chip will satisfy their needs by improving road safety issues for N.Z police

and improving the speed for the racer detectors in order to solve the problems of why the

car isn’t fast to win the race.

From research, it has proven that speed cameras decreased the amount of road crahers, but

there is still a significant amount of drivers that needs serious treatments. However, by

using this particular high-quality chip that captures high-quality information for the police to

chase secretly and safely after the speeding car. This technology will further improves road

safety as it is more efficient than the existing speed camera detectors. For racer detectors,

the chip which will be attached to their hand-held cameras will satisfy their needs by

providing information such as what is the current speed and to see whether there is a

potential to increase this speed as the chip also indicates the maximum speed the car can

go.

3.4 The Product

By using the chip, it will bring a range of advances to the police. Firstly, it is tiny and easy to

hide and fit behind all of the existing cameras. It doesn’t only capture the speed of the car

but also all the information regarding the destination, profile of the car owner (registered

under the number plate) and the direct location where the car is heading. All of this

information is sent to the police station and a police officer will deal with it. By using the

chip, it gives them the satisfaction that they don’t have to chase the car down in order to

track them because they didn’t have the information about the destination of the car.

Therefore, using the chip will bring satisfaction to the police and making the process of

catching the speeding car less pressured and more efficient.

3.5 Suppliers and Partners

Supplier 1: Global Sources is a Computer Chip Manufacturer & Computer Chip Supplier

which could be a potential supplier for the aditional materials needed for example the

silicon to complete the chip.

Supplier 2: Alibab.com is a Global trade supplier of chip components which can be a

potential supplier for the business. This is because most of the materials needed fo the

production of an advance chip is hard/expensive to fund in N.Z therefore it’s cheap to

import from overseas suppliers.

Partner 1: The Government would be a potential partner for the business because the

government is one of the parties that is quite severely affected by the consequences of

speeding such as social cost. Therefore, they’d like to get involve and minimise the problem

which will decrease the social cost associated.

Partner 2: Ministry of Transport would be a potential partner because they are always

inrerested in improving road safety.

3.6 Strategy: Focused High Cost

Speed detecting industry is at a focused market scale, focusing on speed detection firms.

High Cost Speed detecting chip.

The overall strategy is therefore Focused High Cost

3.7 Value Chain Activity: Procurement

The most important value chain activity for this business is Procurement.

Procurement is absolutely crucial to the Industry because everything is revolved around this

activity such as ensuring that the chip is efficient that will improve the process of catching

speeding cars by providing enough information of the destination of the driver.

Furthermore, procurement is mpotant because it delivers more value than other existing

activities. Businesses that are religiously importing, procurement becomes a very strategic

function to improve their profitability. Procurement is seen as helping to streamline

processes, reduce raw material prices and costs, and identifying better sources of supply.

3.8 Business Processes

3.8.1. INVENTORY ORDERING PROCESS – This is a crucial process of the business because it

deals with ordering the parts of the chip that is needed. It helps to identify the right amount

of materials we need to order, the right quality material that meets the business’ quality

standards and how much the materials cost.

3.9 Functionalities

3.9.1. INVENTORY ORDERING PROCESS

Identifying what parts of the chip we need. Create a purcahse requisition.

3.9.2. INVENTORY MANAGEMENT PROCESS

Labeling where the materials are stored. Counting how many products we can make.

3.10 Systems

3.10.1. MATERIAL ORDERING SYSTEM – This system helps support the inventory ordering

process by identifying clearly what components of the chip is needed. After identifying the

components, the order then can be placed forward, which is why this system is very

important to the material ordering process. This system is also importanat because if order

the wrong component, then the chip won’t be as efficient as it should be because we won’t

have the rigth componentd hence our vision of providing the ultimate speed detection chip.

3.10.2. MATERIAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM – Having this system is absolutely crucial to the

business because it supports both inventory ordering process and in inventory management

process. It incorporates the funtionalities of idetifying the amount and different types of

components we need to order. Also, it incorporates the identity (quality) of the components

if they meet the business’ standards, therefore, it is crucial to have this system because it

impacts on producing the ultimate speed detection chip.

3.10.3. MATERIAL LABELLING SYSTEM – This system is crucial because it supports inventory

management process. It incorporates the funtionalities of labelling where the materials are

stored which will affect the identfication of how many materials we have in order to

determine which components we need . Therefore, this system is important because it

helps improve on the quality of the chip and to ensure that we are providing the ultimate

speed detection chip.
