Material :1100 tonnes of German made uPVC profiles5 lakh sq. ft of toughened glass220 tonnes of Galvanized Steel reinforcementHardwares & Sealants as required.
Human Capital :35 people in each shift at the production level50 people at the site level for installation :5 Engineers, 1 Project manager dedicated for this project and 4 technicians40 semi skilled installers
Environmental Analysis: Analysis of the project site is done in partnership with a renowned civil contracting MNC.
Risk Assessment:
Organize supply of raw material inline to ensure consistent supply of finished product.
Control the pricing of the raw material for 18 months.
Ensure strict QC measures for toughed glass during transit
Implementation Strategy : In order to chase the limited time frame and to keep the costs under control, procurement of raw materials were done from about 5 to 6 vendors and the factory was operated in 2 shifts as against its regular working hours of one shift.
