While this case assumes that the cross-functional team visited five suppliers, organisations often perform a preliminary financial risk analysis to identify the suppliers that may not warrant further consideration due to excessive financial risk. Conduct a preliminary financial analysis from the case study Sparki mentioned via this info> Alset recognised as a well-established component and subsystem manufacturer, has grown from a single product manufacturer with annual sales of $2.3 million, to a multi-product $3.2 billion firm in just 15 years. If the SPARKi(introducing new phone) is successful, it is anticipated to increase the earnings of the business substantially, ultimately accounting for 25% of company revenue after consolidation of its current portfolio of manufactured products. Smartphone shipments are expected to grow 3.1% in 2022, which is a substantial slowdown from the 10.5% growth in 2020 and 27.8% in 2019. Shipments are expected to hit 1.48 billion in 2021 and grow to 1.84 billion by 2022. The actual demand for year one will likely be between 400,000 and 600,000 units. As with most high technology companies, adequate supplier capacity is a critical issue. Taking a lesson from the demands placed on it by its current customers, Alset will seek some assurance from its suppliers that they can increase the supply of components by 25% within four weeks' notice of changing market conditions. Marketing estimates that first year demand for the SPARKi, and therefore the data projector, would be approximately 500,000 units, with a 20% growth expected for year two. Expected pricing for the SPARKi will be around $1,700 to $1,900. Alset recognises that mini data projector demand is growing rapidly, although actual numbers are difficult to obtain. The latest figures show the market is $13 billion dollars in total, with a number of large players and then many small player. Marketing is now targeting the price of its SPARKi line from $1,750 including a quantity discount for large customers with ongoing high quantity orders, or up to $1,850 for additional storage and software configuration. Finance and Capital Development have reviewed the business case and determined that the total data projector cost component would need to be in the $140 - 160 range including logistics.
Inventory of at least 20,000 units must be received at the Wollongong factory by the 1st January 2024 for testing production in January for the February 2024 sales. 10,000 of the initial delivery will be used for making prototypes while the remainder will be held as buffer stock into the first month prior to the February delivery depending on the day that the first ongoing delivery comes in. The engineer estimated, based on previous experience, that the ramp-up time to begin production that would satisfy Alset's specifications would be about 15 weeks. His estimate of tooling costs was $2 million, although dependent upon the timing of the machine time; this could increase by up to 20% to take lost production into account. Suppliers:
