SPEEDING CATCH DEVICE
INTRODUCTION
Speeding is a common problem all over the world. The result of speeding can be fatal. It is a
big cause for car accidents and many people die from it each year. The truth is that many
people like to go over speed limit when driving. So we design and produce a device which is
pre installed into cars to monitor the speed when people drive, as the car goes over a speed
limit, the device is going to send the information to the police so that they will iusse the
driver a speed ticket.
3. BUSINESS SECTION
3.1 Vision
Provide affordable and effective solutions to stop speeding whenever and wherever and
improve the on road safety in NZ.
3.2 Industry Analysis: Automotive Electronics Industry
Industry: Automotive Electronics Industry.
It is in the Automotive Electronics Industry which to produce and sell auto electronic
devices, such as GPS, reversing sensor etc.
Force: High/Low: Justification:
Buyer power: High Industry is highly relied on Automotive industry,
one of the major buyers are vehicle
manufacturers such as Toyota. They are large,
powerful enterprises that usually have their own
plants (Wikipedia) for electronic parts production
or they have subsidiaries or sub-contracted
companies which produce electronic parts for

them (Marklines). Many companies can produce
and sell the automotive electronic devices. As the
search result shows that there are more than
1,000 companies in NZ related to Auto Electronics
products (Yellow page, 2014).
Supplier power: Low Supply for this industy are computer software,
network or satellite services, electronic parts and
components. There are so many suppliers they
can choose from not only in NZ but also in
overseas. For example, there are more than 100
companies in NZ that provide computer software
development services (Yellow page, 2014).
Threat of new entrants: Low Although it is unlike the Automobile industry
which is highly capital and labour intensive, there
are still some requiements and standards the
companies have to comply with. For example, to
be a Tier1 supplier of those OEMS (SGS, 2014).
And there is a complex automotive food chain:
foundries, chip vendors, RTOS/tool companies,
and apps developers included (Yoshida, 2014). So
I would say the threat is relatively low.
Threat of substitutes: Low There is not really anything substitute in-vehicle
electronic devices. The increasing cusomer
demands for functionality and personalisation of
cars push the car manufacturers to consider
digital compenents as more important (IBM,
2004, p.13).

Rivalry among existing
competitors:
High There are so many NZ and international brands,
such as Bosch, and Pioneer (Automotive News,
2013). So the rivalry is high.
Overall attractiveness of the industry: The industry is not bad as the market is large and
substitutes are little, although rivalry is high.
3.3 Customers and Thei r Needs
My customers can be local government that want to change their residents diving
behaviours and the isurance companies who want to study on their customers and evaluate
risks (Tuttle, 2012 and Vedantam, 2012).
3.4 The Product and Service
Our product is a GPS based speeding catch device which is installed into cars in order to
capture information, monitor speed, and send information when eligible. By using this
information, police can issue speed tickets effectively and isurance companies can rate their
premium accordingly. The related government agencies can also use this information
evaluate the trends and statistics about on road safety.
3.5 Suppliers and Partners
My two suppliers are the companies who supply electronic parts, and network providers.
E.g. Mongoose NZ (2014) who provides the GPS system, and Anything Electronic (2014) who
produces parts and accessories in different sizes for different types of cars.
My partners can be distributors and channels which deliver the product to the end users,
the drivers. For example, if the government is going to require the installisation of the
divice, then VTNZ and AA can be my partners as they can recommand our brand. Some car
manufacturers who help on research and development of new technologies and innovations
can be my partner as well. For example, Pioneer (2014) collaborates with Chevrolet and
GMC.

3.6 Strategy: Focused Low Cost
I would use a Focused Low Cost strategy as this business is aiming to focus on speeding
related products and provide designed and customised solutions to fit in different areas and
different situations such as local speed limit, regulations and legislations and so on.
Although the end user may be car drivers however the buyers may be local government or
insurance companies. So it is good to be low cost to make sure that it can be widely
accepted and installed.
The overall strategy is therefore Focused Low Cost.
3.7 Value Chain Activity: Make the Product
The most important value chain activity for this business is Make the Product.
Make the product is essential for this business as our vision is to provide effective solutions
to improve the on road safety in NZ in long run and our strategy is focused low cost. Hence
it is required us to be flesible and customised according to different customer needs and
changing environment. Besides, since it is a in car electronic it is our responsibility to make
sure each device works accurately and is safe and reliable so that help our customers to
meet their objectives.
3.8 Business Processes
3.8.1. PRODUCT MANUFACTURI NG PROCESS Because our vision is to provide effective
solutions for stop of speeding, so make the product is our top one value chain activity, to
achieve that, we need a well designed product manufacturing process to ensure we create
the appropiate products for our customers.

3.10 Systems

3.10. 1. INVENTORY ORDERING SYSTEM The inventory ordering system looks after inventory
checking, order creation, and invoice processing and all the different processes. To have this
system we are able to source cheap and quality parts, make sure our raw materials at a
desired level, so that we can make required products to achieve and follow our vision.
3.10. 2. QUALI TY CONTROL SYSTEM The quality control system consist product functionality
testing and other testing steps to assure the quality of the products meet our standards and
customers requirements. In order to provide our customers effective solutions to solve
speeding problem, and in long run to improve the on road safety, the products must be
functioning and reliable.
3.10. 3. DATA ANALYSI S SYSTEM Data analysis system is also important for us, as we need
to do product designs and a range of testings, those works require us to deal with a great
quantity of data. The data analysis system transforms data to a more visible way so that we
can gether useful information faster, which means reduce data latency and increase data
analysis efficiency. This is essential for ongoing evaluating, correcting and improving our
products so that they fit in the dynamic environment.
