Ladies Shoes Manufacturing Unit

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This pre-feasibility study is for setting up of a semi-mechanized shoe manufacturing unit exclusively for ladies. Footwear manufacturing is a process of manufacturing shoes according to the market need in respect to design and size, trends etc. The unit is assumed to be set up in any city with already established units, such as Karachi, Faisalabad,
Hyderabad, Sahiwal, Gujranwala and Rawalpindi.
Shoe manufacturing industry can be broadly categorized into two main segments i.e. organized and unorganized sector. The organized sector comprises of fully mechanized shoe manufacturing units. These mainly include Bata Pakistan Limited, Servis Industries
Limited, Footlib Limited, Firhaj Footwear (Pvt) Limited, and a few other units. The unorganized sector comprises of labour intensive units having semi-mechanized manufacturing facilities, with relatively modest capital investments, as compared to fully mechanized plants.
The total project cost for setting up this workshop is estimated at Rs. 7.801 million. The project is financed through 50% debt and 50% equity. The project NPV is around Rs.
56.885 million, with an IRR of 56% and payback period of 3.60 years. The legal business status of this project is proposed as ‘Sole Proprietorship’.
The unit is proposed to operate 8 hours everyday. The proposed maximum capacity of the unit is 600 pairs per day. During the first year 40% capacity is assumed, which increases at a rate of 10% each year and assumes maximum capacity of 95% in seventh year of operations. 4

INTRODUCTION TO SMEDA

The Small and Medium Enterprises Development Authority (SMEDA) was established with the objective to provide fresh impetus to the economy through the launch of an aggressive SME support program.
Since its inception in October 1998, SMEDA had adopted a sectoral SME development approach. A few priority sectors were selected on the criterion of SME presence. In depth research was conducted and comprehensive development plans were formulated after identification of impediments and retardants. The all-encompassing sectoral development strategy involved recommending changes in the regulatory environment by taking into consideration other important aspects including finance, marketing, technology and human resource development.
SMEDA has so far successfully formulated strategies for industries such as horticulture, including export of fruits and vegetables, marble and granite, gems and jewellery, marine fisheries, leather and footwear, textiles, surgical instruments, transport, dairy etc.
Whereas the task of SME development at a broader scale still requires more coverage and enhanced reach in terms of SMEDA’s areas of operation.
Along with the sectoral focus a broad spectrum of business development services is also offered to the SMEs by SMEDA. These services include identification of viable business opportunities for potential SME investors. In order to facilitate these investors, SMEDA provides business guidance through its help desk services as well as development of project specific documents. These documents consist of information required to make well-researched investment decisions. Pre-feasibility studies and business plan development are some of the services provided to enhance the capacity of individual
SMEs to exploit viable business opportunities in a better way.
This document is in the continuation of this effort to enable potential investors to make well-informed investment decisions.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS2

Pakistan Footwear industry has shown good progress in terms of production and exports.
Footwear industry has increased its exports at large extent since 2003.
Pakistan is one of the most populous countries in the World and according to an estimate with an average population growth of approximately 1.6 %.The population of Pakistan is estimated about 187 million in the year 20113. Keeping in view the growth in population, the growth in the demand of footwear industry is also anticipated. Though, significant growth has taken place in the Shoe Industry of Pakistan, but there is a view that it has not been up to the mark and the industry has suffered due to a growing and fierce competition of the emerging economies like India and China. There is a general perception that after suffering from the cut-throat competition especially with China, the footwear industry is doing better especially in the previous two years and it is regaining the strength to fulfil the local demand as well as compete efficiently in the world market.
This sector has pivotal importance in terms of providing and creating jobs, earning of foreign exchange with the help of exports and fulfilling the local consumption requirements. Yet, according to the Leather Sector Strategy report by J.E. Austin, no new manufacturing unit has been established in Pakistan’s organized sector for the last decade. 8

MARKET ANALYSIS

The leather footwear industry is concentrated in and around the cities of Lahore, Kasur and Charsadda. Other footwear centres are Lahore, Karachi, Faisalabad, Hyderabad,
Sahiwal, Gujranwala and Rawalpindi. The Pakistan footwear sector produces 150 million pairs annually which accounts for 1% of global production. Footwear sector exports add a meagre US$ 110 million to the export earnings of the country and Pakistan holds a market share of 0.1% of the world footwear market. In Charsadda, 2,500 workers produce over a million pairs of shoes annually. The Charsadda cluster is composed of
500 workshops. Besides the local manufacturing of shoes, the markets are flooded with

Chinese shoes which are available at very low price. A high level of employment in footwear manufacturing exists in small scale businesses and the informal sector.4
The shoe manufacturers in Pakistan are not organized with the exception of some big manufacturers like Bata and Servis shoes. Therefore, the exact figures regarding number of units, production and consumptions (of ladies shoes) are not available. The last footwear industry survey carried out in Pakistan was in 1996; therefore, updated information is unavailable. However some estimates of overall shoe industry are available. The major players of the Pakistani Footwear industry are5:
1. Service Industries

4. EPCT (Pvt) Ltd
5. Elegant (Pvt) Ltd
6. Footlib Ltd
7. Shafi (Pvt) Ltd
8. Starlet Innovations
9. Brothers Associates
10. Simba Enterprises
During the year 2000, a nominal growth of 0.2% and 0.6% was recorded in the production and consumption of shoes respectively.
8.1 Market Demand
According to the estimates by SATRA Technology Centre United Kingdom, per capita consumption of footwear in Pakistan is 1.5 pair per annum. The consumption of footwear during the year 2000 was 234 million pairs6. The following table shows the consumption from 1996 to 2000:

PRODUCTION PROCESS

9.1 Production Process Flow
A variety of materials are used for making shoes- leather fabrics, plastic, rubber, fabrics, wood, and metal. However, with the development of modern machines, a pair of shoes can be made in very less time as each step in its manufacturing is generally performed by different machines.
9.1.1 Parts of Footwear
1. Sole: The exterior bottom part of a shoe is the sole.
2. Insole: The interior bottom of a shoe, which sits directly beneath the foot, is its insole. They are removable and replaceable too. In some of the shoes, extra insoles are often added for foot comfort, foot or joint pain relief and for other reasons, such as to control the shape, moisture, or smell of the shoe.
3. Outsole: It is that layer of the shoe that is in direct contact with the ground. These can be made of various materials like leather, natural or synthetic rubber etc. Often the heel of the sole is made from rubber for durability and traction and the front is made of leather for style.
4. Heel: The rear part at the bottom of a shoe is the heel. It supports the heels of the feet.
Heels of a shoe are often made from the same material as the sole of the shoe. It can be high for fashion purpose or for making a person look taller. They are also flat for comfort and practical use.

5. Upper: The upper part of a shoe that helps in holding the shoe onto the foot is the vamp or simply called the upper. This part is often embellished or given different styles to make shoes attractive.
9.1.2 Shoe making process
A footwear unit has mainly four departments in which a progressive route is followed for producing finished shoes. These departments are: Clicking or Cutting Department,
Closing or Machining Department, Lasting & Making Department and Finishing
Department. Following is the process of footwear manufacturing.
1. Product Development: Product development is the process of designing new styles of shoes or existing ones and then specifying the materials and components, detailing the materials and the processes that are to be followed in order so that the styles of shoes can be produced in bulk.
2. Designing and Pattern Cutting: According to the samples of shoes, design or requirement of the customer the model last is selected by the shoe designers then patterns are developed and sample shoe is manufactured in under the supervision of the shoe designer by the craftsmen/artisan. When the samples are approved the patterns are graded by hand or machines in required sizes and handed over to the production division for manufacturing the shoes. The designers also specify the materials required for making the shoes.
3. Clicking/ Components Division: The components are clicked by hand or machine by the clicker then checked and marked by hand or by stamping machine. The upper and lining components are skived according to the manufacturing process.
4. Closing or Machining: The component pieces are sewn together by skilled machinists so as to produce the completed upper. The work is divided in stages. In early stages, the pieces are sewn together on the flat machine. In the later stages, when the upper is no longer flat and has become three-dimensional, the machine called post machine is used. The sewing surface of the machine is elevated on a position to enable the operative to sew the three dimensional upper. Various edge treatments are also done for giving an attractive look to the finished upper. At this stage only, the eyelets are also inserted in order to accommodate the laces in the finished shoes.
5. Lasting, Making and Finishing: The completed uppers are moulded into a shape of foot with the help of a "Last". Last simulates the foot shape. It is later removed from the finished shoe to be used further in making other shoes. Soles can also be premoulded as a separate component out of various synthetic materials and again glued to the lasted upper to complete the shoe.
6. Packing: The shoe lift is inserted in the shoes to maintain the shape of the finished shoes. After this operation the finished shoes are kept in the boxes.

10 RAW MATERIAL REQUIREMENT
New inventions take place in the footwear industry and new materials have come up for manufacturing of good quality footwear. A number of units have started manufacturing footwear components. Following are the materials required for footwear manufacturing:
10.1 Upper Material
For manufacturing of shoe uppers, natural Leather, Paramedics, Leather Fabrics, Textile materials, Plastic and rubber fall are used; but natural leather is the most important material which is superior in its characteristics to all other materials.
10.2 Insole Material
The leather Board, Texon, Bontex and other cellulose Board and some special types of shoe construction textiles are used as Insole material. The exporters for maintaining the quality and for mass production of shoe manufacturing use moulded insole.
10.3 Outsole Material
The Ethylene Vinyl Acetate (EVA), Polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Polyurethane (PU) and
Thermoplastic rubber (TPR) are found most suitable as soling materials and are easy to manufacture. 10.4 Grinderies
Other materials used are shoe laces, Threads, Tapes, Metal fittings, eyelets, Buckles,
Different types of Nails/Tingles, Shanks, Rivets, Hooks Zip fastener.
10.5 Auxiliary Material
The adhesives which are generally used are solvent, dispersion, hot melt adhesives that are used for joining/sticking the shoe components. The finishing chemicals like Latex, polish, etc. are also used for giving shine to shoes.

11 HUMAN RESOURCE REQUIREMENT
11.1 Human Resource Requirements
The technology level is low in shoe manufacturing industry; therefore training can be imparted to most of the workforce within 30 days. Related technical skilled labour is easily available in cities where shoe manufacturing units are already established. A total of 14 employees are hired as permanent staff, this includes production and administrative staff. The staff salaries for the first year are given in table 11-1 below. The cost of direct labour including cutting man, upper man, bottom man, finishing man, skiving operator and other production staff is included in the cost of production on per pair basis.

12 MACHINERY REQUIREMENT
The organized units comprise only 2.3%9 of the total shoe manufacturing units.
Therefore, because of low demand of new shoe manufacturing machinery, brand new machinery for shoe manufacturing is not available in the local market. Second hand and refurbished machinery of UK and German origin is mostly used for any new shoe manufacturing unit. Cutting press, skiving and stitching machines, sole attaching press and sole activator machine are the main machinery that will be required for a shoe manufacturing unit. Apart from these machines certain locally manufactured tools for upper, bottom and finishing, lasts, cutting tables and boards are easily available in the local market.

Feasibility

...1. Answer the following questions about the feasibility analysis: a. What is a feasibility analysis? When should it be conducted? i. A Feasibility analysis is the process of determining if a business is viable and is an assessment of potential business. It should be conducted before the startup of a business and if business begins to fall short in more than one area involving the four components, the business should either be dropped or rethought. b.

The feasibility analysis requires both primary and secondary research and is important because it determines if a business is viable or not and whether its purposes needs to be discarded or revaluated for the success of the business entering the market.

The four components of the feasibility and they are as follows: 1. Product/Service Feasibility – Is the product or service desirable? Is it in demand? 2.

...CHAPTER I The Problem This chapter discusses the background, objectives, significance of the study, scope and limitations, data gathering process and the research design and methodology. 1.1 Background and Rationale of the Study Airsoft is one of the newest and fastest growing sport in the Philippines. It is somewhat similar to paintball in that your primary goal is to shoot your opponent with an air-powered weapon but that is where the similarities end. Most paintballers play in small field with brightly colored flashy uniforms. Airsofter's on the other hand prefer MilSim (Military Simulation). Devised to be an example of combat sports that required relatively little preparation but was capable of entertaining participants for several hours, the sport quickly began to spread, and is today found in many places around North America and Europe. Airsoft enthusiasts tend to organize clubs that are referred to as meetings, and often structure their games along military lines. However, there are airsoft meetings that specialize in historical reenactments of famous battles, as well as some meetings that provide choreographed simulations for the wider community. Outdoor fields are often preferred because it provides a more realistic environment. It is also a great place for items that may end up in the dump to be recycled as course obstacles and structures. When shooting outside, environmentally friendly ammunition should be used to avoid build up on the outdoor airsoft...

...Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is business management software—usually a suite of integrated applications—that a company can use to store and manage data from every stage of business, including: Product planning, cost and development Manufacturing Marketing and sales Inventory management Shipping and payment ERP provides an integrated real-time view of core business processes, using common databases maintained by a database management system. ERP systems track business resources—cash, raw materials, production capacity—and the status of business commitments: orders, purchase orders, and payroll. The applications that make up the system share data across the various departments (manufacturing, purchasing, sales, accounting, etc.) that entered the data. ERP facilitates information flow between all business functions, and manages connections to outside stakeholders.[1] Enterprise system software is a multi-billion dollar industry that produces components that support a variety of business functions. IT investments have become the largest category of capital expenditure in United States-based businesses over the past decade. Though early ERP systems focused on large enterprises, smaller enterprises increasingly use ERP systems.[2] Organizations consider the ERP system a vital organizational tool because it integrates varied organizational systems and facilitates error-free transactions and production. However, ERP system development is different from traditional systems...

...WHY I’M PASSIONATE ABOUT REAL ESTATE? Return: In most of the markets real estate investments perform better than equities and other asset classes. In emerging markets probably you have to go for development projects, as rental yield is not very attractive. In most of the developed markets real estate has performed better than stock market over time. And by leveraging your investment you can increase your return on equity many folds. Cash flow component in return: This one of the best thing about real estate investments – it behaves like a fixed income security, and with better yield. Rental income makes real estate more attractive even during tough time and many investors love to focus on the cash flow.  Depreciation: You can’t depreciate your stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Depreciation is a gift from the government for real estate investors. Dampening of volatility in the portfolio: Real estate prices don’t fluctuate on daily basis. Fully optimized portfolios with real estate component in it have much lower volatility. Inflation hedge: real estate investments provide a good hedge against inflation. Rents usually increase with inflation, while mortgage payments on the property remain stable. This increases cash flow component. WHY SHOULD YOU NOT INVEST IN REAL ESTATE? Illiquid: Many a times real estate investments behave like illiquid assets. Generally it takes time to execute an actual exit, and liquidity can completely disappear from the market in tough times.

Feasibility Study

...A feasibility study is a short, focused study that should take place early in the RE process. It should answer three key questions: a) does the system contribute to the overall objectives of the organization? b) can the system be implemented within schedule and budget using current technology? and c) can the system be integrated with other systems that are used? If the answer to any of these questions is no, you should probably not go ahead with the project. Feasibility study An estimate is made of whether the identified user needs may be satisfied using current software and hardware technologies. The study considers whether the proposed system will be cost-effective from a business point of view and if it can be developed within existing budgetary constraints. A feasibility study should be relatively cheap and quick. The result should inform the decision of whether or not to go ahead with a more detailed analysis. Feasibility studies The aims of a feasibility study are to find out whether the system is worth implementing and if it can be implemented, given the existing budget and schedule. The input to the feasibility study is a set of preliminary business requirements, an outline description of the system and how the system is intended to support business processes. The results of the feasibility study should be a report that recommends whether or not it is worth carrying on with the requirements engineering and system development process. If a system does...

Feasibility Analysis

...to determine whether or not the planned investment idea is feasible. The feasibility of an investment has to be considered with respect to several different aspects in order to determine whether the investment should be realized or not. Carrying out a feasibility analysis is therefore one of the most critical steps in the decision-making process. A feasibility analysis is an effective analytical tool that can be used to evaluate investments from various perspectives, e.g. technical, social, legal, financial, market, and organizational. Financial feasibility is often a predominant factor in feasibility analysis, as most investments are not realized if they do not generate profit for the project owners. The focus of this thesis is on financial feasibility analysis and its application in the decision-making process. Precision and reliability of feasibility analysis relies on the accuracy of information used in the analysis. The appropriate level of detail has to be decided with respect to what stage the investment is on. On early stages the level of uncertainty is often high, but as the investment opportunity evolves information become more detailed and reliable. As uncertainty can highly affect the results of the analysis, the level of detail has to be taken into account when basing decisions on the results. To assess the feasibility of investments relevant criteria have to be chosen. Feasibility calculations need to be done with care and the complexity of the calculations...

I am hoping to answer the following questions, so that you, as a dairy producer, can properly address whether or not a digester project fits within your overall business model, that is, successfully managing and operating a large scale dairy operation. As I said, the questions I hope to answer for you are as follows: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. What is a feasibility study? Why is a feasibility study important? What should be included? Who should do a feasibility study? How much should they cost? 1. What is a feasibility study? A feasibility study is an analysis and evaluation of a proposed project to determine if it is a. technically feasible; b. is feasible within the estimated cost; and c. will be profitable. I am focusing my presentation on feasibility studies of digester projects, because that is why I’ve been asked to make this presentation. However, one should be able to use these same concepts when considering any opportunity your farm might consider, especially where large sums of money are at stake.
