Feasibility Study

Developed and executed marketing plan

Developed and executed a marketing plan to help a startup company penetrate into the thermoplastics composite market place. Helped develop the marketing strategy for their patented new manufacturing process.

Developed an economic model for a composite fabrication process

Developed a spread sheet model of a composite fabrication process. The model took into account raw material costs, fabrication times, staffing levels, facility requirements, capital equipment costs, machinery throughputs, tooling costs and maintenance times. The model allowed different scenarios to be compared to determine the economic viability of the process.

Feasibility Study

Performed a preliminary analysis of a new concept for producing a composite product. Did a preliminary part design and developed a machinery concept for the process. Developed a rough estimate of process throughput and cost to compare to the existing fabrication method.
