Customer Insight
This effective constructive method allowed customers to combine their required functionality with their preferred style options.
For builders and installers, trim (style) dollars are not tied up during the entire construction process. Trim installation can be closely timed to the final inspection.
Once installed, the customer/ consumer can easily change a faucet or shower fixture at any point in the decorating or construction process without replacing any plumbing. It’s as easy as changing a light bulb.
Upgrade in Minutes. Instant installation. You can enhance your bathroom style in minutes using two simple tools: an Allen wrench and a screwdriver.
The system is available in a variety of attractive styles and elegant finishes. Change fixtures at any point while decorating, construction, or years later.
Technology Capability
With M•PACT’s valve standardization, changing a faucet takes just minutes –unscrew the handles and spout, lift them out and replace them with the new style.
Replacing the shower is accomplished just as easily by unscrewing the handles and shower arm, removing the components from the wall, and replacing them with new trim. When the product was introduced, Moen was the only major manufacturer to upgrade the bathroom without going under the sink or behind the shower wall.
Product Innovation
M•PACT is a valve architecture that provides the ease and flexibility to upgrade the style of the entire bath without going under the sink or behind the shower wall. Each trim piece in the M•Pact system fits on a common valve underbody.
The Moen Vertical Spa was the first product line designed from the ground up, utilizing a platform approach. This effective constructive method allowed consumers to combine the functionality they required with their preferred style options.
Organization Learning
As part of a modular and standardization approach to the product and NPD, Moen teams acquired new knowledge that allowed them to decouple style and functionality. The ability to develop functionality and style independently enabled the development of new technologies and applications previously inaccessible due to time-to-market requirements.
Firm Renewal
NPD time to market was considerably decreased from two years to a few months allowing the company to anticipate and react to consumer and market trends. In addition, the platform approach to product development allowed Moen to provide a more comprehensive customer experience throughout the selection, purchase, installation, and product maintenance cycle.
