1. a. What is the “average” size of the market in CMI pads given that each set of 6 CMI pads will drive 10,000 feet?
Market Size
Hammers 19500 26000
Weeks used 25 25
Hours per week 30 30
Feet per hour 20 20
Feet per year 290000000 390000000
Feet Per Set
(4 initially plus 2) 10000 10000
Sets per year 29000 39000
Pads per year 174000 234000
Pads Manufactured 3000 3000
% of Market 1.72% 1.28%
It is estimated that there are 19,500 to 26,000 hammers in use 25 weeks per year or 30 hours per week. These hammers average 20 feet per hour for 290 million to 390 million feet driven annually. If six pads per set will drive 10,000 feet then the market for coiled metal pads would be 174,000 to 234,000 pads annually

    2 We recommend that CMI utilize a value-based pricing strategy to introduce the 11 ½ inch metal pad and price it at $299.00 per pad. The value and efficiency of the metal pad will be the driving force behind this price strategy and will offer the customer a savings of up to 33 percent. A major fixed cost that CMI needs to consider is the 360 percent of labor to account for engineering that is required to create the pads at the 9000 year production level. There will be added value shown to the customer by not having to invest in asbestos protection gear and avoiding future liability suits.…

    ③Third step is to estimate costs. Since the average number of CMI pads need per year is 204,750(question 2), the number of CMI pads per month is about 17,000. So, the additional capacity cost is $5,025,000 because additional equipment is added at a cost of $75,000 per 250 pads per month of capacity {(17,000/250 – 1)x75,000}. The production cost varies depending on purchasing a permanent tool. (Exhibit 6)Without permanent tool, it has to pay $7,543,040{148.12x17,000+5,025,000(additional capacity cost)}. On the other hand, with the permanent tool, manufacturing cost would be only $6,251,060{69.18x17,000+50,000(price of permanent tool)+5,025,000(additional capacity cost)}. Compared to 'without permanent tool case ', it is reasonable to produce pads ‘with permanent tool’. So the total manufacturing cost would be $6,251,060 and the manufacturing cost per pad goes to $367.71(6,251,060/17000). Since Cumberland managements want to take manufacturing cost to be 40~50% of the price. From this, we can set the price range of from $735.42. to $919.275.…

    Cumberland Case Study

    Cumberland Case Study How much do you think one of these pads is worth to a customer? Does the test data tell you anything about this? Colerick paid $1000 for the 480 asbestos pads that were required for the job, only sixof the CMI pads were needed to complete the job. Fazio paid $2000 for the 600 required pads, and only needed five CMI pads for their job. As the CMI pads cut the drive time down by 33%, Colerick should be willing to pay the same amount of money for the CMI pads asthey did for the asbestos pads. If the price were $1000 for six pads then each pad would be $166.67 for Colerick. Fazio used five of the CMI pads and they paid $2000 for the asbestos pads, therefore the price per CMI pad would be $400 per pad. See table 1 With all of these factors in making the decision to purchase the CMI pads, I would believe that the pads would be worth significantly more to the contractors than the asbestos pads would ever be due to the time saved on the projects. To put a monetary value on the pads would be like trying to distinguish a price on the health and safety of a human life. Table 1 How big is the market? What kind of opportunity is out there? Table 2 What price would you charge for the curled metal pads? To help determine a price for each CMI pad, the consumer value must be factored in. The first test, at the Colerick site, proved that by using the CMI pads there was a potential savings of $5410.76. Dividing the savings by the number of CMI pads used will give an approximate consumer value of $902. I would charge $900 to begin for the 11.5” pads. What are the benefits and problems in charging a low price or a high price? Look at this question from both a company and customer point of view? Is it more important to make high profits or build market share? Discuss concepts on pricing strategies (value pricing verses cost based…
