Business plans in technical studies
Once an entrepreneur has made a thorough market research, which has led you to find your Target, or niche products which will direct your services, you should begin the technical review of your business plan. This document is very important because it defines how to produce what is intended to sell and which already has found a market in market research.
The technical study is nothing more than the statement that as an entrepreneur should do, of the aspects to take into account in making the product or service delivery, as well as the processes involved here. Understand that if you’ve chosen a business idea is because it is known or can investigate how to make a product or a service can deliver better.
Basically, the technical study defined aspects such as: Where to locate the company or project facilities? Where to get materials or raw materials? What machines and processes used? What is the state of the art of existing technologies? What staff is required to carry out this project?
Answering these questions is crucial, as these will be inputs to the organizational and financial study, to establish investment budgets and expenditures.
This study also discusses the elements that have to do with the basic engineering of the product and / or process to implement, for it you must make detailed description of the purpose of displaying all the requirements to make it work. To do this, is of vital importance to the analysis of the optimal size of the plant which should justify the production and the number of consumers who will not risk the company in creating a structure that is not supported by demand, with which can generate the so-called “idle capacity installed,” which in the financial study will be reflected to be a substantial increase in costs and expenses of the business plan.
So the business plan in its technical study should show the different alternatives for the development or production of goods or services, so as to identify the processes and methods for its implementation such as this stems the need for machinery and equipment appropriate for the production, identifying the technologies that have become obsolete, and what edge there today. Also, you have to take account of the skilled workforce to achieve the objectives of product operation, the space organization for implementation, identification of suppliers and creditors that will provide the materials and tools to develop your product optimally, and to establish an analysis of the strategy for managing the process capability to meet demand over the planning horizon. This will have a basis to determine production costs, machinery costs and the labor.
If market research has already provided the necessary tools for an entrepreneur des answer to the question: who to sell?, Experts will study will answer the question how? For them initially must identify the inputs and supplies you need the business plan, the matter should identify sufficient supply in quantity and quality of raw materials required for the project. Hence the importance of knowing the suppliers, prices, quantities of supplies and materials. At this stage it is suggested to be supported through contributions to establish a commitment to the future supplier.
For technical baseline can use a table that contains elements such as supplier, input, input presentation, unit of measure, quantity, unit cost and total cost. The correct filling out this information will best knowledge for initial drafting more appropriate and meets the needs of the project.
Once the previous step, it is important to go to identify the machinery and equipment your project needs. Here you must take into account all the factors involving the decision. You should be informed well as the quality of this information depends on the correct decision, with further investment in this or other machinery.
To make an approach to the description of the machinery and equipment can build a table containing detailed information such as supplier, machinery – equipment – tools, quantity, unit cost, total cost.
This information is quite handy to accompany the technical specifications of the machines, as well as the tools and prices of suppliers who can provide information highly relevant to the decision making process of technology adoption.
These are the initial steps to develop the technical study of your business plan. While it can be much more complex, I will be publishing another document other steps to successfully complete the study in question.
