Product Review Process
MDFA is an industrial equipment design and manufacturing firm with a reputation for providing its customers with innovative solutions to complex operational problems. The company is divided into three business units:
the Ventilation Division produces heating, cooling, and air purification systems;
the Surfaces Division makes equipment used to surface roads and pedestrian walkways; and
the Factory Automation Division manufactures machine tools and system integration software.
MDFAs divisions are autonomous and are expected to work closely with current and prospective customers to originate new product proposals. These proposals are presented to MDFAs New Product Screening Committee NPSC for approval in three stages. In the first stage, the division tries to convince the NPSC of the products technical and commercial potential in general terms. If approved, the NPSC provides funding to design a prototype. In the second stage, the prototype is reviewed to determine if it is technically viable. The product is normally sent back to the division for further refinement based on input from the committee. If these issues are addressed successfully, the product moves on to stage where a detailed feasibility study of the commercial viability of the new product is completed by an independent financial analyst from the Office of the VicePresident of New Product Development. If approved at stage the division receives funding to launch the product.
Once a new product is launched, each division must provide a monthly progress report to the NPSC where the committee can decide to maintain, increase, decrease or discontinue funding based on their progress. The new product approval and monitoring processes at MDFA are rigorous, and divisional managers and financial analysts know to be well prepared whenever they present to the NPSC
New Product Proposals
Denison is currently preparing two new product feasibility studies. One product is an industrial air filtration system that is used in sawmills and grain storage terminals. Wood and grain particles pose serious health and safety concerns for employees in these facilities if not properly controlled. Numerous systems are available to keep particle counts to an acceptable level, but MDFA has designed a new system based on vacuum cleaner technology that extracts and bags the particles and allows the clients to recycle them as inputs in particle board manufacturing and as animal feed.
The second product is an automated paving stone installer. Increasingly cities are substituting paving stones for concrete when installing pedestrian walkways. Not only are paving stones visually more appealing than concrete or pebbled aggregate, but they also dont crack in the winter months, can be easily repaired if damaged, and can be moved and then replaced in order to access water and sewage services.
