  • Business Analysis of Peak Garage Doors Inc

    1494 Words  | 3 Pages

    Peak Garage Door Inc. has set a goal to increase their sales for 2004. Garage door industry is expecting a growth of 2.4% while the management of Peak is looking to increase company’s sales 26.4%. The company currently has 50 exclusive dealers and 300 non-exclusive dealers. Management has three proposals in front of them. The first suggestion is to increase the number dealers in their existing markets. The second recommendation is to develop an exclusive franchise agreement with existing non-exclusive dealers. The third recommendation is to decrease the number of dealers and focus company’s resources on increasing support for the existing dealers. Of course there is an option for them to leave everything as it is. My suggestion is to go with the second recommendation due to the fact that exclusive dealers produced 70% of company’s sales and non-exclusive dealers contributed only 30%. In order for Peak Garage Doors Inc. to reach their sales goal for ‘04 they will have to gain more exclusive dealers since they contribute much more profit to the company.

    1490 Words  | 3 Pages

    When Maria was considering a large bulk order, how should she use the concept of contribution margin to decide which cookie's production to reduce in order to free up enough capacity to accept the bulk order? Under what circumstances should she not have accepted the bulk order? In the simulation Maria should use the contribution margin method when sales revenue less variable costs. It is the amount available to pay for fixed costs and provide any profit after variable cost has paid. Maria suggested that the total contribution Margin as well as the operating profits from lemon crème cookies is less than that for real mint cookies. Therefore reduce the current production volume for lemon crème cookies and produce more real mint cookies to accommodate this bulk order.However, Maria decision what not so conducive. When a company maximizes operating profits it is better to produce more of the product that has a greater contribution margin per-unit like the lemon cookie. In the beginning of the simulation Maria felt that price reduction alone was not sufficient. Aunt Connie's Cookies had to establish that they were one of the favorites in the convenience food category. It was best that Aunt Connie's Cookies increase their ad expenses by half for both peanut butter and lemon cookies. The company would then reach out to more retailers in the metros. To achieve this, they must pay more to their distributors $0.10 per pack instead of $0.06 per pack.

However, reducing unit prices could have boosted sales and resulted in even better profits. The bulk order shou...

    Some of the things our team did to lead to our success analysis of the data we received both about our company and our competitors. Adjustments were made based on the feedback we received about competitive strengths and weakness and competitor actions. For example, we adjusted advertising budgets, increasing SQ, number of models produced, adding capacity, and of course pricing, corporate responsibility while meeting our benchmarks for investor expectations EPS, ROE, stock price, credit rating, and image rating (until the last three weeks where we did not meet ROE, but still ended with a weighted average of 15.2). We were careful about adding capacity, however we did not start adding capacity soon enough at the Asian plant. Resulting in having to add capacity to the North American plant which was not cost friendly considering it was a more expensive plant to run and affected our ROE. In retrospect, we should have increased capacity in Asia sooner and considered constructing a plant in Latin

    The case looks at prescriptive strategy as applied to multi-product group of companies. Unilever is based in over a hundred countries where multiple products are being made in each. However, the market is mature which means that growth is stagnant and innovation is almost non-existent. In order to improve on growth and sales, the strategies that are needed look at how to come up with new products that have high profit margins and penetrate new markets. The prescriptive approach was used to come with a strategy to improve growth and profit. In order to improve on innovation, both the prescriptive and emergent strategies can be used since both support innovation. From the case study, not much profit was made when the ‘Path to Growth’ strategy was first implemented (2001-2004). The strategy was initially based on cost cutting. There was a need to also build volumes through existing portfolio of branded products through innovation and marketing. By focusing on increasing sales in developing countries where growth prospects were high and increasing investment in personal care products where profit margins were higher, it was possible to improve the profit portfolio.
