Production Process (Steps on how to manufacture the product)

This part of Production Plan will describe how the business will be operated from sourcing of
inputs to after sales services and how the business manufacturing the product.

Step 1: Product Concept

 This is where you’ll form your plan and outline of your product idea. This can include
sketches and notes in addition to an explanation of what you want your product to be
and how you want it to be used by the consumer.

Step 2: Research

 There are two important things to research at this stage: firstly, demand. If your product
solves a problem, are a lot of people looking for a solution to that problem? Can you see
a gap that is desperate to be filled? Secondly, are there products out there already that
are similar to yours? If so, it doesn’t necessarily mean your idea won’t be a success, but
how will you improve on what is already available?

Step 3: Product Design Development

 Once your research is complete, and the idea has passed the initial screening stage, it’s
time to dive into the design of your concept. As the design is developed, keep the end
user in mind as they are the most important factors to be considered. Since the end goal
is to have a product with a user-friendly design, a lot needs to be taken into account
during this stage.

Step 4: Create the Final Design

 Edit your designs as necessary. Include dimensions and materials, develop the designs to
a high standard and include all vital details. If your product is comprised of multiple
parts, try to keep these to a minimum to keep manufacturing costs down and speed up
assembly.

Step 5: Prototype Testing

 Make sure your testing is thorough and critical. Don’t be afraid to be honest with
yourself about any problems or flaws with your design, as it can only help your end
product be the best it possibly can. If you need to, go back to step 3 and work out the
kinks.
Step 6: Manufacturing

 If you made it through prototype testing without revealing any problems that need to
be worked on, it’s time to manufacture your product. There may be some further
decisions to make here, such as materials, batch numbers, and the manufacturer itself.
Think about what keeps costs low while maintaining the quality you want, so that you
can maximise profits.

Step 7: Assembly

 Important choices to make at this stage may involve further materials, such as glue.
Keep costs in mind, but remember that using ineffective materials may negatively affect
your eventual sales. Don’t let the quality slip by cutting corners now.

Step 8: Feedback and Testing

 Now your product has been manufactured and assembled, you can continue testing it
rigorously. There are many ways to do this, from assembling focus groups to asking
family and friends, but ensure you take note of feedback and allow free and honest
criticism. Allowing for further development to continue improving your product is a
sensible move.

Step 9: Final Product / Official Release

 Now you have successfully taken your product from concept to a polished final product,
it’s time to turn your attention to marketing, and the practical side of getting it into the
hands of customers. The more you sell, the more you can afford to put into
manufacturing larger batches, meaning a larger profit next time around.
Production Plant and Equipment Needed

Physical resources include land, building and other structures, machinery, and equipment.
These are the tangible assets that the cooperative will use to produce the product or deliver the
service.

Location:

 The company’s location is very favourable, providing high visibility, and a high flow of
customers. The store will be located just minutes from downtown, which provides
dining, take-out, and entertainment. The location is great in getting customers not only
to students but for all the people since the location is near in West Gate and North Gate
it would be a great to attract employees who work in graveyard shift. Molito
Commercial Complex,a lot of people visits this place for cleaner air, as well as a more
family-friendly environment, that still retains as urban lifestyle.

Equipment:
