...Owen’s Precision Machining Credit Analysis Xiaoyun Hu * Business and Strategy OPM is a fifteen-person machine shop that makes customized metal parts and integrated subassemblies for a variety of end uses. Found in 1986, it now locates on the first floor of a converted textile factory next to the Merrimack River in Lawrence, MA. The A/P term of OPM is net of 30. And here is the 5-forces analysis: * The power of suppliers: Strong Most of the raw materials OPM needs are differentiated, rare and hard to source.

In order to mill good products, OPM needs specific materials that can’t be substituted. As a result, the power of suppliers turns out to be strong. * The power of buyers: Strong OPM’s competitive advantage mainly lies in the lead times so that they can provide enough volumes according to buyers’ needs. This indicates that OPM’s products are undifferentiated and buyers believe that they can always find other shops very quickly. * Threat of new entrants: Medium To initiate a business in customized subassemblies area, one doesn’t need much capital expenditure to invest. OPM at first was a single-owner small operator. And if the customers want to switch to another shop, they won’t bear much additional costs. The demand-side benefits of scale are also not apparent in the industry. However, the company can achieve supply side economies...
