Our Vision & Our Market Description of our Product System Description of Our Business Model Concluding Summary Outline
3
Our Vision: Routine routine access to preventative medical care for everyone Help the most isolated people in developing regions Avoid millions preventable deaths Save billions of dollars in reactionary medical costs around the world Focus on a locally sustainable product Motivation for Our Product System
4
Our Market Size: 2.3 Billion. Rural PopulationNumber of Trikes Uganda26,900,00077 Africa620,000,0001,800 Developing World 2,300,000,0006,600
5
Our Product System
6
Modify system components to provide the most effective product for different countries Train and prepare pilots, mechanics and community leaders to make the system sustainable Our Product System
7
Equipping and Customizing Our Trikes for Remote Medical Service Our Design Changes – Chassis: – Wing: – Engine: – Shocks: – Tire: – Storage:
8
. Engineering Analysis Breguet range equation with flat plate and lumped mass – Used to determine wings and engine Reduction in thrust due to refrigeration Increase in drag due to added storage Range Loss from initial trike design: 14%
9
Medical Storage on the Trike Vaccines Blood for Transfusions
10
Survey Analysis Survey used to determine storage needs Consider: – Volume – Weight – Refrigeration Time Surveyed medical professionals and business personnel with experience in developing world Most important attribute: refrigeration time
11
Medical Storage on the Trike Volume: – 3 cubic feet (90,000 cm 3 ) Refrigeration: – 3hours Payload: – 60 kg
12
Medical Storage (Ergonomic Aspects) Trike storage compartment is removable Carry on head or back – Pad included for comfort
13
Our Business Model
14
Funders – Aide Agencies: Provide some capital Customer – National Governments in Developing Countries Manufacturer – Us! We manufacture the trike and design the system User – Bush Pilot: – Medical Workers Beneficiary – Remote Villages: User & Final recipient Key Groups
15
Save Lives (Maximize Healthcare Savings) And Make Money (Only sell what’s best for the customer) Social Entrepreneurship Our Business Model
16
Step One: – Customizable solution to maximize social benefit: – Engineering and micro-economic iteration: Linear Regression: – Relationship between price range and quantity with larger bounds – Effects of storage and refrigeration on product utilization – Use solver to maximize social benefit Competitive Pricing: Match current Trike manufacturers Part one: Save Lives (Maximize Healthcare Savings)
17
Demand Model Related price, range and quantity using linear regression Price = f(Range, Quantity) Price = 26,000 – 43.3Q + 2.97R
18
Derive Healthcare Savings Equation Equation components – Government statistics – Demand model – Diminishing returns
19
Optimize Social Benefit Equation Optimal number of trikes: 77 Trikes Required range:57 km Price per trike:22,800 USD Health care savings: 177 M USD Price of 77 trikes: 1.8 M USD
20
Expansion into the rest of Africa Assume rural population/trike ratio is constant – Uganda People/Trike = 350,000 people/trike 620 Million in Rural Africa 1,800 trikes would cover all of Africa In actual production, each country would receive a customized trike system
21
Make a Profit by selling a system which maximizes social benefit – This reduces profits in the short term, but will open new markets How do we do this?: – Manufacture the trike in-house – Simple manufacturing (except for the wings) – Large market potential – No competitors – High need Part two: Make Money
22
Business Plan revenue and costs Startup costs include: 200,000 USD loan for manufacturing equipment Two months employee training 15% market penetration rate FeatureCosts (USD/year) Type Building Rent36,000Fixed Wages540,000Variable Utilities3,600Fixed Machinery energy 7,300Variable Setup9,000Variable Parts1,620,000Variable Bonus package + shipping 1,132,200Variable Testing14,400Variable Basic administrative 42,000Variable Total3,404,500Variable Safety factor (+10%) 3,745,000Variable Yearly costs for 180 trikes/annum
23
Business Plan Company will begin to make profits between year 4 and 5, and have positive NPV after year 8 Assumptions: 6 % APR 5 % discount on raw materials after 100 sales/year 10% tax rate legal fees not currently included
24
Concluding Summary
25
Customize flying trikes to enable routine delivery of medical resources – Any time – Any where Enable every person on the planet to have access to cost-effective preventative health care – Save lives – Save money – Locally sustainable solution Open the door to other beneficial opportunities for developing countries RemoteFlightDoctor Vision
26
Trade: move goods around previously impassible area Education: move teachers and educational goods to places in need Empowerment: your country has the ability to do what you never thought was possible Disaster relief: can fly above regional flooding and other disturbances Other Potential Benefits of the RemoteFlightDoctor System
27
Maximum social benefit for Uganda 77 trikes $22,800 each Range = 57 Km Payload = 60 Kg Storage/ Refrigeration =.1 m 3 and 3 hrs Effective cost savings to Uganda: 177 million USD Number of people reached: 26.9 million people Break Even after 8 years Profits over a half million dollars after 11 years You have a chance to help improve millions of lives and make money doing it.
