Plastics Company is a 10-year old plastics manufacturing company located in the Midwest. They specialize in developing parts for industrial use using injection molding and extrusion technologies. Their specific specialty lies in the area of developing made-to-order parts for the automotive after-market, although their product catalog includes products used within many industries, both marketed directly to consumers and those sold to manufacturers and retailers. Plastics Company is a privately owned company with projected revenues for FY2003-2004 of $15 million. In recent years, the company has begun to broaden its capabilities by developing design and engineering expertise in-house. This approach has allowed the company to expand its business opportunities by developing products for other firms that lack specific knowledge of plastics engineering and/or manufacturing. The impetus to expand in-house engineering capabilities at Plastics Company has been identified by upper management as a necessary means for continuing to enhance business opportunities and revenue generation in this highly competitive marketplace. The goal of Plastics Company is to continue to develop in-house engineering and new product development to a level that will provide a sustainable competitive advantage for the firm over competitors in both the local and national markets. Recognizing the value of project management procedures, Plastics Company has committed to improving their new product development through project management in the past three years. The company’s objective is to re-engineer existing products and develop new products in a cost-effective manner while meeting customer needs. Plastics Company seeks to use exclusivity agreements and patents to protect its revenue generation for these products.
