Because we are not manufacturing anything, so, our operational details will be not as complex.
We will simply contact with our supplier. After the negotiating, we will come to a price which
will be suitable for both. Then our supplier by using original equipment manufacturing technique
will make the product according to our design. Then we have the contract of drop shipping with
our supplier as well. Because they are providing this facility and this is cheaper from the market
as well. Our product will be manufactured within 15-25 days after the approval of design. Then it
will take about 2-3 days to deliver the product at Lahore dry port. From here, the interesting and
challenging part of our business starts. Now we will collect our finished goods from that port
after paying custom duty. And then we will bring it to our godown. To bring it back to godown,
we need to have a transporter, who will bring it to our godown. The three people from our labor
will be there who will load the truck and the truck will be brought back to the godown. Here, the
labor will again unload the truck and the finished goods will then be converted into our
inventory. This process will take almost 1 complete day. They are about 1000 cartons which will
be sent down into our inventory.
Inventory management:
Our ware house or godown is situated in Johar town, Lahore. The area of the ware house is about
10 Marla. The address of the ware house is 73 J3 Johar Town currently, we are operating our
business from our ware house. Because we are not in the business of making goods directly, so
we don’t need a very big place to accommodate the things. Moreover, as our finished goods were
brought back to our ware house in a small container, so, it does not require a big place to save the
inventory. There are only 1,000 cartons that we need to maintain. Moreover every carton
contains 1,000 pieces. There are about 20 packets of these goods which are present in each
carton. Because our packaging is some what like every 50 pieces of lighters make a packet of
lighter and these 20 packets make a carton.
Location:
The location of our business is j3 Johar town, Lahore. The office setup will be at the ground floor
and the inventory will be stored at first floor. We have rented the building and the details of the
building are that it is there on a land of about 10 Marla.
We will cover the business of Johar Town, Model Town and DHA. For this purpose, we have the
three pick ups (carry daba) to deliver our goods. Three permanent drivers and order takers will
be there to assist the department. Each person will be responsible for the area assigned to him.
There will be a specific sale task given to all the order takers. They will work as a team. It will
eventually enhance the performance of our company.
Capacity management:
According to our estimate which we made after taking the sample size, there are about 1,000
shops. This includes all the small and big shops which can carry our MISTIQUE Lighters. Each
shop in general sells about 10 lighters per day which means that if we deliver 2 packets of our
product which contains about 100 pieces, it will cover the need of about 1 week at least. So, we
need to make this thing clear that each shop will buy at least 2 packets of our goods. If every
single shop buys 2 packets, it means that our 2000 packets will be out in market in a single week.
We still have the inventory of 9 weeks which can cover the need of our three targeted areas. It
takes about 4-5 weeks for the order to be there in the ware house after placing it. So, we have
ample time to look at the performance of our product and then we can place the order again if the
response is good enough.
Logistics:
Logistics is the management of the flow of the goods, information and other resources in a repair
cycle between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to meet the requirements
of customers. Logistics involves the integration of information,
transportation, inventory, warehousing, material handling, and packaging, and
occasionally security. As we mentioned earlier, in the detail of operations that our product will
be import from china. There we have contacts with different suppliers. The one who offered us
the good services and who is reliable as well, we made a deal with that supplier. The goods will
be transferred to Lahore dry port. We will collect our finished goods after paying the custom
duty. The goods will be transferred by a small container size of 20*12. our labor will be there for
loading the truck. The goods will be transferred at our godown. Here our labor will unload the
truck. At first floor we had a set up of our inventory management. The 20,000 packets which are
packed in cartons, each carton contains 20 packets of lighters will be placed there at the first
floor. The guard will be there for the security of the office who will take care of all the things.
As we mentioned earlier that the finished goods will be transferred by the three pick ups (carry
daba) to the three areas which we are targeting ( Johar Town, Model Town and DHA).
