THE ULTIMATE SPEED DETECTING CHIP
INTRODUCTION
Though speeding is an extremely well known problem worlwide due to its widespread
consequences of life loss, fatal/serious injuries, road crashes and more, we cant afford to
ignore speeding on our roads. Speeding is a major problem because not only it consists
social and monetary cost to the government and society, it also involves environmental
costs.
There have been many solutions to try and solve speeding as it has been around for a long
time. In order for speeding to be resolve, its best to start from sovling its most common
underlying cause of bad driving habits of the drivers. But of course we cant control their
brain in order to stop their bad driving habits, however, we can enforce more on the
consequences from speeding to remind the drivers about how hazardous and expensive
speeding is at all levels. This solution will convince the drivers to at least minimise their bad
driving habits which will lead to a decrease in speeding rate and therefore has a positive
flow on effect on the different costs of speeding to the government, society and
environment.

3.1 Vision
Improving road safety by providing the ultimate speed detecting chip.
3.2 Industry Analysis: Speed Detection Industry
Industry: Speed Detection Industry.

Buyer power: High Buyer power would be relatively high because there are also other
products available for buyers to choose from, such as Dash
Mounted radar (aka moving radar) set up in police cars, Hand-held
laser (aka lidar), Mobile Speed Cameras and Fixed Speed Cameras.
http://www.delonixradar.com.au/new-zealand/#camera
Supplier power: Low Supplier power would be low because there are quite a lot of
suppliers around the world that supplies speed detecting
components such as Global Sources, Alibab.com, Indiamart and
etc.
http://www.globalsources.com/manufacturers/Computer-
Chip.html
http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/vehicle-speed-monitor.html
http://www.indiamart.com/
Threat of new entrants: Low Threat of new entrants would be low because its very hard to
enter the market as it requires a lot of set up costs (e.g
technology), knowledge and time.
http://www.delonixradar.com.au/new-zealand/
Threat of substitutes: Low Threat of substitutes would be fairly low because there are only
very few subtitutes available, such as offering speeding tickets.
Rivalry among existing
competitors:
Low Rivalry among existing competitors will therefore be low because
there arent many competitors in the Industry in N.Z.
Overall attractiveness of the industry: Very attractive. Huge potential of becoming a
business.

3.3 Customers and Thei r Needs
The targeted customers will most likely be the police and racer speed detertors, because it
is such a high-quality product and is only suitable for them and their different situations.
This is because the chip will satisfy their needs by improving road safety issues for N.Z police
and improving the speed for the racer detectors in order to solve the problems of why the
car isnt fast to win the race.
From research, it has proven that speed cameras decreased the amount of road crahers, but
there is still a significant amount of drivers that needs serious treatments. However, by
using this particular high-quality chip that captures high-quality information for the police to
chase secretly and safely after the speeding car. This technology will further improves road
safety as it is more efficient than the existing speed camera detectors. For racer detectors,
the chip which will be attached to their hand-held cameras will satisfy their needs by
providing information such as what is the current speed and to see whether there is a
potential to increase this speed as the chip also indicates the maximum speed the car can
go.

3.4 The Product
By using the chip, it will bring a range of advances to the police. Firstly, it is tiny and easy to
hide and fit behind all of the existing cameras. It doesnt only capture the speed of the car
but also all the information regarding the destination, profile of the car owner (registered
under the number plate) and the direct location where the car is heading. All of this
information is sent to the police station and a police officer will deal with it. By using the
chip, it gives them the satisfaction that they dont have to chase the car down in order to
track them because they didnt have the information about the destination of the car.
Therefore, using the chip will bring satisfaction to the police and making the process of
catching the speeding car less pressured and more efficient.

3.5 Suppliers and Partners
Supplier 1: Global Sources is a Computer Chip Manufacturer & Computer Chip Supplier
which could be a potential supplier for the aditional materials needed for example the
silicon to complete the chip.
Supplier 2: Alibab.com is a Global trade supplier of chip components which can be a
potential supplier for the business. This is because most of the materials needed fo the
production of an advance chip is hard/expensive to fund in N.Z therefore its cheap to
import from overseas suppliers.
Partner 1: The Government would be a potential partner for the business because the
government is one of the parties that is quite severely affected by the consequences of
speeding such as social cost. Therefore, theyd like to get involve and minimise the problem
which will decrease the social cost associated.
Partner 2: Ministry of Transport would be a potential partner because they are always
inrerested in improving road safety.
3.6 Strategy: Focused High Cost
Speed detecting industry is at a focused market scale, focusing on speed detection firms.
High Cost Speed detecting chip.
The overall strategy is therefore Focused High Cost
3.7 Value Chain Activity: Procurement
The most important value chain activity for this business is Procurement.
Procurement is absolutely crucial to the Industry because everything is revolved around this
activity such as ensuring that the chip is efficient that will improve the process of catching
speeding cars by providing enough information of the destination of the driver.
Furthermore, procurement is mpotant because it delivers more value than other existing

activities. Businesses that are religiously importing, procurement becomes a very strategic
function to improve their profitability. Procurement is seen as helping to streamline
processes, reduce raw material prices and costs, and identifying better sources of supply.
3.8 Business Processes
3.8.1. INVENTORY ORDERING PROCESS This is a crucial process of the business because it
deals with ordering the parts of the chip that is needed. It helps to identify the right amount
of materials we need to order, the right quality material that meets the business quality
standards and how much the materials cost.

3.10 Systems

3.10. 1. MATERI AL ORDERI NG SYSTEM This system helps support the inventory ordering
process by identifying clearly what components of the chip is needed. After identifying the
components, the order then can be placed forward, which is why this system is very
important to the material ordering process. This system is also importanat because if order
the wrong component, then the chip wont be as efficient as it should be because we wont
have the rigth componentd hence our vision of providing the ultimate speed detection chip.
3.10. 2. MATERI AL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM Having this system is absolutely crucial to the
business because it supports both inventory ordering process and in inventory management
process. It incorporates the funtionalities of idetifying the amount and different types of
components we need to order. Also, it incorporates the identity (quality) of the components
if they meet the business standards, therefore, it is crucial to have this system because it
impacts on producing the ultimate speed detection chip.
3.10. 3. MATERI AL LABELLING SYSTEM This system is crucial because it supports inventory
management process. It incorporates the funtionalities of labelling where the materials are
stored which will affect the identfication of how many materials we have in order to
determine which components we need . Therefore, this system is important because it
helps improve on the quality of the chip and to ensure that we are providing the ultimate
speed detection chip.

CONCLUSION
To conclude, the vision of the business is to provide the ultimate speed detection chip to
improve road safety in N.Z. By using information system such as material management
system, material ordering system etc, it has helped deliver value by purchasing the right
amount and type of component needed to complete the production of the chip under the
Procurement value chain activity. This adds value by ensuring that the chip is efficient and
capable of providing extra information such as the distination of the driver speeding that
speed cameras and razors dont provide.
