Document Summary
Lies in jim dunlop"s ability to attract opportunities, so i would say in the company"s sales efforts. For ex: the company only operated in canada and now he was able to push sales efforts and now majority of sales come from the united states. Dcc can deliver samples in 10 days vs competition where it took them 4 weeks, and the finished good would be shipped within 6 weeks vs competition where it is 20 - 24 weeks. Commercial buyers (hotels and offices) really cared about delivery times and owned 50% of the wool carpet market: wsm acquisition: Pros: wool quality was high and dcc faced problems with the other 2 yarn suppliers. Cons: capacity exceeds demand, so the mill is sitting idle when it isn"t producing to the max amount. They also beared additional costs for equipment and building improvements.
