    Based on the number of ASC comments that didn’t understand that the 35% Design drawings were only included for reference, the direction on the drawings may not have been clear enough in Performance Spec. After discussing it further, we feel that it would be better to remove non-relevant 35% Design drawings from the Performance Spec package. A note could be added to the PS that explains that the full drawing package was not included, but will be provided after award (or upon formal request).…

    The air is tainted with unnatural fumes of grease, wood, and burnt electrical tape. Oil slicks stain the floor. Thick wooden shelves sag unnervingly close to buckling under the weight of old house paint and power tools. A workbench lies buried beneath papers, rulers, cans, and metal shards. An uncomfortable growl pours from the water heater. Most people wouldn’t describe my grimy garage as pleasant, but I love spending my free time here. It’s where I built a 2 ft trebuchet in sixth grade, a 4 ft trebuchet in seventh grade, and plan to build an 8 ft trebuchet this winter break. It’s where I built a battlebot and slapped an Arduino microcontroller on top to give it intelligence. Ever since I sat watching jets shake…

    Zipcar Case Study Analysis

    • 2494 Words

    [Case: Zipcar] Zipcar’s SWOT and financial analysis a) Strengths Firstly, Zipcar seized 80% of US market share, making it the strong player in the market. Secondly, as the company is able to acquire its competitors (Flexcar-US, Streetcar Ltd-UK), they can reduce the competitors as well as gain those market shares and customer bases from those 2 companies. Thirdly, Zipcar’s customer-friendly and disruptive business model is what makes it unique. They leverages accessibility, make it available close to where people live or work and need access to vehicle, which is one of the threat of car renting. The company also allows the members to use a car when required, which provides true flexibility. Supported by advanced technology (RFID System r), its vehicles are easy and readily available to use. Besides, the flat organizational structure makes it flexible and able to communicate efficiently and quickly to both employees and customers. Finally, the company has created brand recognition by calling its customers “Zipsters”. b) Weaknesses Zipcar has no prior experience in similar industry, but have fairly good experience in automotive industry. A fall in Zipcar’s gross and operating margins in the last reported quarter as compared with the prior-year period reflects high costs. The company ended the quarter having 8% more vehicles as compared to the year-ago period, while its fleet operation costs shot up by nearly 23%. The fleet operations, the company’s primary expenses consumed 71.2% of revenue in the first quarter of 2011. And the high costs make it unable to achieve the economies of scale. c) Opportunities Zipcar’s penetration in the international markets is not very high. Despite of the home market, there is only 1 presence in the Europe, which means there is more room to grow such as Spain. And because of the unfavorable economic situation in the European countries, people tend to get the idea of car sharing quite fast, which affects the growth in world’s car sharing…

    The three main manufacturing steps at Blitz, preparation, image transfer and fabrication had quite a few processes within.
