They own a number of coatings technologies and are currently developing and carrying out plans to take advantage of their core competencies to expand into new markets and create new business opportunities.In an effort to do just that, Auld has funded a multi-disciplinary team of Ohio State University students to apply the core technologies of the company in order to venture into the yet untapped retail market. The novel product that was developed by this team sought to highlight and apply the decorative and coating solution technologies to the niche market of fashion jewelry. A market that has seen large upsurges in variety and demand, today’s fashion jewelry market has yet to see a product applying such technologies. Elegant, fashionable, and even jewel like in appearance, yet lightweight, flexible, and containing the toughness of a material that was created for commercial and industrial applications; jewelry lends itself as an area that this product will not only do well in, but excel in in almost every way.The multi-disciplinary team, in concert with company resources, was responsible for not only creating this product solution, but had to do so by gaining a thorough understanding of the core technology and manufacturing constraints of the company, all the while paying direct attention to competitive products, functionality, cost, industrial design aesthetics, and both long and short term business hurdles that might be encountered. Besides designing an innovative product, the team also generated a value proposition, process maps, value stream maps, long and short term industrial and technological solutions, and both high and low level business models that included plans for method and location of manufacturing and distribution.
