2
Target Market Haiti and West Africa: Rural Farmers Village Communities
3
Customer Needs High Production Rate Repairable, Robust Low Cost Off-grid Energy Source Easy to Clean Flexible
4
Pricing Estimates Recommendations : Reduce cost, increase manufacturability and reparability Shaft: lightweight steel bar or rebar Less material, increased structural stability Attach chair with simple steel frame Mockup: $50 to construct 15 lbs w/o chair Target: $15 to construct 15 lbs total 20 hrs of labor
5
Rate Target Rate = 17.05 kg/hr Achieved Rate = 42.12 kg/hr Nearly 2.5X the desired Market Rate! Competitive Ratio = Average(Rate i /Cost i ) Manioc Comp. Ratio =.341 kg/$hr
