Plastic Pipe manufacturer. Operating since 1959. Din, Bin and ISO certified.

Dadex is all about innovation, quality,

reliability and customer support.

Thermoplastic pipe.

Polydex Polypropylene Random (PPR)

Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Chrysotile Cement Pipe Systems. Irrigation Systems. Roofing System.

In this project we only apply quality management tools on PVC pipe.

During this project we applied following quality management tools:

QFD House Of Quality

Statistical Process Control (SPC)

Customer Requirements:

Low Cost.

Heat resistance

Non-corrosive
Durable Low frictional losses Safe for water supply

Flexible
Fire resistant

Flexible ire resistant

Technical descriptors:

1) Materials:
A) Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)

B) Chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC)

C) Un-plasticized polyvinyl chloride (UPVC)

2) Process: Extrusion

Properties

Flexible and durable

Rigid and durable; Flexible, durable, does not flex; safe heat resistant and for transporting drinking water; non toxic fire-resistant

Analysis:

Material and process both are standard. Voice of customer is to reduce the cost.

For cost reduction there is a need of redesigning the business strategy.

Strength: * Quality Product * British and Denmark Standard Certification * ISO Certified * Leading Pipe manufacturer Opportunities: * Boom in construction Due to boom in construction the demand of pipe is increased so DADEX must focus on suitable strategy to grab the opportunity.

Weakness: * Lack of promotional activities * Focus on domestic Markets * Exports are considered optional

Focus on exports and promotional activities to grab the opportunity.

Threats: * Inflation * Exchange Rate * Profit margins are squeezing Maintain the strength by producing qualitative products. 1) Reduce the cost by doing backward integration. 2) Focus on promotional activities. 3) Focus on exports.

* Other competitors
