All you need to know:
Research – As basic as it can get, the first
thing you need is a product. Thorough research on what to be manufactured can
be attained by the following steps:
- Market research on the trending products.
- Demand of the product.
- Research on the usage which depends on targeting the right customers.
- Knowing the market in terms of competitors.
- Price of the commodity including manufacturing cost, labor, transportation and any other overheads.
Planning – Once the awareness of the market
and the product is obtained, the next thing to look forward to is the cost and
budgeting. A business model is very important at this stage, a plan for the
successful operation of a business, identifying sources of revenue, the
intended customer base, products, and details of financing.
- Cost – Direct (for production, labour, raw material), Indirect cost (admin, factory overheads), Variable, setup and Fixed costs.
- Sources of fund – Loans for industrial ventures, credits, venture capitalists, self-funding, angel investment.
- Finding Resources – raw material suppliers, transport facilities, customers, an efficient team.
Location – It plays a major role for a
manufacturing unit; ample space is a necessity and most of the capital would be
spent on the infrastructure and machinery. Renting and leasing at the initial
stage is most preferable as an attempt to buy infrastructure would be a riskier
move.Location that facilitates and is easily accessible to the labour and
suppliers, customers, with all the amenities, in the right market as well as
located in an industrial area is a necessity for smooth running, inflow of raw
materials to outflow of finished products and to avoid violations of government
regulations that restricts industries to be set up in non-residential areas.
Regulations –
There are certain policies and regulations that are setup for business and for
subsectors like chemicals, food, pharma etc which are highly regulated. These
require stringent certification and approval for functioning and establishment
and adhering to these regulations are utmost important.
- Product specific regulations (for explosives, breweries, hazardous chemicals)
- Industrial Licensing – Department of Industrial Policy & Promotion (DIPP)
- Location restrictions (non-pollutant area, residential areas)
