Team product or service Description—Review the material in the Problem
and the answer tab of our course to help you select a business idea.
Describe
your product or service idea. How does your concept solve a problem in the
marketplace? Is your solution unique? If not, how will you differentiate
yourselves from the existing competition? Make sure you identify the intended
target audience. Include a mission or value statement which outlines your
company’s guiding principles and priorities in delivering the product or
service. Your instructor will review this information to approve your business
idea.
I propose we write our paper
about a Wind Generation Manufacturing Plant.
With the coal-fired electrical plants creating additional pollution and
wind generation farms becoming more acceptable as a source of electricity, the
manufacture of the wind generators (windmills) is becoming a more competitive
marketplace. The current manufacturers
are finding flaws in their design that are creating dangerous sites when high
winds and tornadic activity is present.
The business could also fill
the void for suburban wind generators for use in residential areas. Currently, a residence must have a minimum of
3 acres of property to erect a residential wind generator. This is due to the design of the units
available for residential use.
If we decide, as a team, to
go with this idea, the Mission Statement could be:
“Home-Wind Bound is dedicated to bringing affordable, clean energy
for use in the single family home in any city, USA.”

Operating Plan –Solar/Wind – Co-Generation Manufacturing plant
Introduction
Sun
and wind are the major sources of energy that are available readily at no cost.
New techniques need to be harnessed every day that assures smooth and efficient
utilization of solar and wind power. Solar power is produced by transforming
sunlight into electricity. Various tools and techniques are needed that forms
the ingredients of these transformations. The base transformation is done
through solar panels which are nothing but flat panels constituting thousands
of individual solar cells.
Industrial
advancements supporting solar energy has been witnessed at a large scale in the
last decade. Many green companies have set their vision to harness solar power and
make use of renewable energy sources. These companies strive to offer a
comprehensive array of renewable energy and eco-friendly products that enhances
the standard of living. However, a major concern is to compositely design such
sources that the community can afford, contribute effectively towards the community
by providing clean electricity with solar technology.
It is a given that coal-fired electrical plants
create additional pollution.To better safeguard and protect the environment,
wind and solar energy is the most acceptable source of electricity.
Our
focus will be to offer the best solar and wind solutions for green companies
targeting residential markets and individual consumers. With solar energy and
wind energysolutions, those companies will be able to provide affordable,
reliable, sustainable and safe products to the target market.
