1) Describe the internal organization and functions of your company.
The internal organization of my business is the way in which it is structured to carry out its
various activities in making and producing a class II medical device. My company has
made a device that consists of electronic circuit board, electro-mechanical fabrication and
components, custom plastic enclosure, power supply, firmware and user interface software.
I have decided that my internal organization will consist of production, information
technology, accounting, human resources, and marketing.
The function that is most important in my organization is productions because they will
make the class II medical device. The second goes in hand with the first, and that is
Information Technology (IT) because they will be making the firmware, the user interface,
and the power supply. Accounting will be responsible of all the accounts, payroll, and buy
raw materials to supply the production line. Human Resources (HR) function will be the
hiring and training the employee and management in their specific jobs. Marketing
functions will be responsible of advertising and sales.
2) Describe the value chains.
The value chains are the networks of facilities and processes that describe the flow of my
organization from materials to finish goods and to the financial transactions from
suppliers. My organizations value chain will be split into three sections, gaining a
customer, value creation, and then keeping the customer.
In gaining a customer can be also called the preproduction services. There we will be able
to create customers benefit package design and configurations. My manufacturing
company will be able to create different model to fit out customer needs for example, our
costumers can be for clinics, hospital, and paramedics. We can make the product to meet
their needs and price points. Some needs are large power supply, simple user interface
software, or even a larger memory in the circuit board. We will have a large corporate
partnership with custom battery manufacturers. A customer financing will help
organizations finance their purchases. We will also have a Technical support and
consulting support call center to handle customer’s needs. Customer online order entry
will let them select the order they want by choosing software options, back up battery
supply, and user interface.
Value creation or the primary production processes consist of Customer order qualifiers
that are the quality, innovation, and the cost. We will also have assembly to order, direct
shipment, and consulting.
Postproductions services of my value chain will also focus mainly in keeping the customer.
