Executive Summary
This Business Plan commences with a highlight of the financial realities that has reflected annual
financial losses for some years, and it continues into 2022/2023 fiscal year. Rather than assuming that
such would be the case, the Business Plan proposes a set of steps that can transform the tide of loss, into
harnessed reservoir of financial viability. The documentation, clearly demonstrates all the factors that
have provided such sub-optimal performances, but also provides solid, pragmatic solutions that define the
path to wider trainee integration and financial viability.
There is no attempt to gloss over the internal conditions under which BUSINESS NAME exists. Any
attempt to do this, does not only amount to questionable ethical values, but will invariably place Business
Name quest for successful performance into serious compromise. This is the reason, the impact of the
internal transactional dynamics, attitudes towards the subsidaryand its business, and even admittance to
little or no marketing efforts, were so openly highlighted without any reservations.
The document continues from an inward to an outward look, where ample information is provided for
describing Business Name industry and marketing environment; realities which further compel the
astute decision makers to pay keen attention to ALL the issues highlighted, and hopefully command
some measure of respect in the confident fact that BUSINESS NAME team (if properly supported by the
rest of PARENT COMPANY and by leaders within the wider entity), can be successful at making all
concerned proud.
This business plan is written in such a way, that any keen, motivated and qualified business practitioner, can
absorb the templates, ideas and concepts, to make the plans contained therein a realized success.

providing excellent, durable products, and diversified engineering services to our residential,
commercial and industrial clients
COMPANY NAME BUSINESSS PLAN - FEBRUARY 2022

Keys to Success
Business Name primary key to success is supported by the pursuit of two (sometimes competing)
principles; (a) the maintenance of low production costs, and (b) the offering of durable, well-engineered
products and services. In order to achieve this ambidextrous strategy BUSINESS NAME requires:
A supportive and responsive management and administrative framework at ‘Company Name’
institutional level
Cooperative Instructors willing to facilitate trainees’ involvement and learning by their actual
presence in BUSINESS NAME activities
An expanded product/service offering represents item removed due to confidentiality
requirements.
An Accounting/Procurement System, and personnel that values the bolstering of production
efficiencies, and respects the demand of customers/clients for fast completion and delivery of
work projects
A facilitated and approved Marketing strategy that embraces a mix of promotional strategies to
include wide audience reach and targeted communications approach.
An efficient production process that can effectively match or surpass growth in demand that can
be created by a robust marketing campaign.
Description of Business Name Business
Currently, Business Name core activities involves metal fabrication for sale to a limited number of
customers. Funding is requested and approved for specific, identified jobs for which there are acceptable
levels of deposit, or (in most cases) the provision of a purchase order by the customer. These fabricated
items include Garbage Skips (the niche product), Lecture desk & chairs, and Garbage Bins. BUSINESS
NAME is currently capable of producing other products such as flower pots, drawing tables, teacher’s
desk, book shelves, garden/outdoor furniture, gates and grills, and certain basic household ornamental
products. Additionally, BUSINESS NAME has proven capability in building 10 x10 Tents, 20x20 Tents
and Gazebos, either for temporary or permanent applications. *Actual product identity may be changed
for classified/confidential purposes not affect the intent of document production.
Proposed diversification of Productive Activities
As a part of the thrust to realize revenue growth for attaining initially neutrality, then, thereafter, surplus
income generation, BUSINESS NAME must do the following:
Increase its production of garbage skips. There is a real capacity limit beyond which further
expansion of volume for this item is not realistic, especially considering that 90% of Business
Name machines/equipment are antique suitable for scrap metal disposal
Expand its production into household items tending away from single customer request to more
batch (or even mass) production of select ornamental and utility household item, targeting mainly
the employees of the merged entities and beyond.
COMPANY NAME BUSINESSS PLAN - FEBRUARY 2022
5
Drive production (and sales) of 10 x 10 tent, gazebos, outdoor/garden furniture, gates and
grills.
Make bold steps into Air Conditioning Services, Energy Audit Services and other possible
service oriented offerings. This would require staffing, tools and resources that do not currently
exist. This would offer further Training Integration for many other worker apprentices, who
at present cannot be meaningfully engaged in BUSINESS NAME as its production activities
are narrow and limited.
Revitalize offering item removed due to confidentiality requirements and others. The proposal for
short course is not aimed at trainee integration, but rather in closing significant revenue gaps that
BUSINESS NAME is constrained to meet, based on its nature in ‘Parent Company.’
Internal Business factors
It is important to avoid glossing over the intricate internal details as these factors gravely affect the ability
of a sub-entity like BUSINESS NAME to become viable. Firstly, the Manager role holds no authority for
approval, nor even any administrative authorization – these have been delegated to Accounts or is
retained at the more senior level (this subsidiary is a tall vertical structure within a classified frame). One
prominent way in which this tends to manifest itself is that if a customer calls with agitation regarding an
apparent delayed job, if it is a production delay, Business Name team is addressed openly. On the other
hand, delays from accounting (eliminating those that are due to the restrictive procurement process
typical of government entities), are sometimes given too little ascription of priority by such personnel,
but these nonchalant treatments are ignored with impunity. Another example is that the Manager TBE,
does not even hold the authority to sign out a job for delivery. BUSINESS NAME does not have access
to workers in training unless they are scheduled, are accompanied by commanders and mandated to
attend activities in BUSINESS NAME. In reality the apparent failure to engage apprentices even in
nominal numbers is due to the fact that previous attempts have been premised mostly on the personnel
voluntary inclination to attend.

Improvement in Production Processes
Standardization of Production Processes
With current production methods, precise material component dimensions, and existing availability of
tools, it would take five working days to produce one 4.9 Cubic feet Garbage Skip. Therefore, if there was
an order for ten (10) skips, it would take fifty (50) working days for production duration only. When the
period for procurement is factored into the calculation, the time flow becomes unrealistic, as is evidenced
in the production flow analysis that was done and submitted in Business Name Business Plan of 2016 –
2018. (Please see appendix for analyzed flow diagram/process for Garbage Skips). As shown below,
production time commences only after procurement, and item delivery has been completed:

The records from administrative books would reveal, Stage B above contributes significant delays to the
process, and at Stage C, limited flexibility and latitude exist in terms of tools/equipment, staffing and
input resources. For example, if a tent is to be rented, it’s the single welder whose work is interrupted, to

attend to this with the assigned driver of the Parent firm. One pragmatic (but partial) solution is to widen
quantities of buffer stock to six (6) instead of the inadequate allocation of materials enough to only build
two (2) skips, and widen miscellaneous items, as well as buffers for other produced items as well.
COMPANY NAME BUSINESSS PLAN - FEBRUARY 2022

Marketing Strategy
The necessity of a well-planned Marketing Strategy, is clear. However, even with an effective market
plan, the internal issues of support within Parent Company and pragmatic business structures must be
catered to, in order to realize ‘Business Name’ success as a commercial entity, within the frame of a
training institution, governed by government procurement processes and systems of operation.
Over-arching Competitive Philosophy
Business Name competitive premise, as alluded to earlier, is based on the dual foundations of Cost
Leadership and the creation of durable products. Attainment of these two general goals, could make
BUSINESS NAME a formidable force, assuming that other restraining factors are also addressed.
Market Analysis
Marketing analysis for BUSINESS NAME as a business entity will commence with a SWOT analysis
that allows us to transition from the internal constraints to scrutinize the external market forces.

Strengths of BUSINESS NAME
1. Experienced Staff in Metal Fabrication
BUSINESS NAME has technical staff trained and experienced in welding and metal
fabrication. The aging team of resource personnel is at an average of 55 years. Job
shadowing, internship and job rotation could help the institution in the short run to
preserve the important skills sets.
2. Competitive Pricing
BUSINESS NAME is able to offer similar or superior products in metal fabrication,
because of its controlled labour costs, as well as integration of trainees into its
production activities
3. Quality Production in Garbage skips
Garbage skip has been the well-developed niche product of BUSINESS NAME
4. Low Cost Production
Business Name internal cost profiles are not
extravagant Weaknesses of BUSINESS NAME
1. Limited institutional support
The institution continues to experience challenges with trainee integration, instructor’s
support for Business Name production, and resource sharing. BUSINESS NAME is
treated as sub-entity whose activities and purpose bears little relevance to the rest of
PARENT COMPANY. Ideas to augment BUSINESS NAME growth and viability are
not apparently believable nor supported.
2. Time Lag in Procurement
Whilst Parent Company, is governed classified data Procurement Policy Regulations,
the other component of procurement delays is attributable to the low priority that is
ascribed to Business Name business.
3. Narrow focus on Metal Products
There is a need for a senior management level supported plan to ‘organizational
change’ into commercial activities.
COMPANY NAME BUSINESSS PLAN - FEBRUARY 2022
12
4. Obsolete Machinery
The production machines in BUSINESS NAME workshop possess an average age of more than
thirty
(30) years old, and do not even closely represent the existing state of technology. Up to
95% of the machines do not serve any current purpose. Also, most of our production
activities could be facilitated with an operational CNC machine, at a much faster
production rate and cheaper operational cost.
Opportunities within Business Name Business
With the emergent existence of the merged entity,
1. BUSINESS NAME can design, standardize and produce Household products in two categories:
Ornamental – products with a decorative appeal such as wall plaques, lamp stands etc.
Utility – products that are useful for the home, such as garbage bins, grills for windows
and doors, gates and outdoor furniture, to name a few.
2. Currently, only welding trainees and to a lesser extent mechanical trainees, can be meaningfully
engaged in BUSINESS NAME. There is room for identifying and expanding Business Name
offering of products/services, but this is impractical to achieve by merely expecting instructors
and trainees to provide the work input. Steps that can expand value offering and involve greater
percentage of trainees include:
Engage with short courses to offset the cost of its operation.
Offer technical services such as Energy Audit, Air Conditioning Services, and Computer
Repairs by identifying tools and resources required and develop and mandatory schedule
that involves both trainee participation and instructors’ support.
Implement the trouble shooting process and a project plan to bring the CNC Machine
located in the BUSINESS NAME shop into operation. Based on initiative to explore
such implementation, BUSINESS NAME management had observed that there were
classified activity of the very expensive equipment. Hence steps have been taken to
secure the machine, and initiate the project implementation process. The CNC is
capable of producing far more sophisticated, aesthetically pleasing items at fractions of
production time and cost, compared to current production methods.
COMPANY NAME BUSINESSS PLAN - FEBRUARY 2022

Threats to Business Name Business
A simple non-sophisticated survey of the businesses in private sector that offers similar products to
BUSINESS NAME would reveal, that:
Small to medium sized entities are flexible, nimble, tightly run workshops that do not
have to grapple with the idiosyncratic challenges of the Institutional frame in which
BUSINESS NAME happens to exist. Simply stated, BUSINESS NAME would be a
profitable business in less than one (1) year if it was lifted from its situational
circumstances, howbeit the perfectly competitive external environment that it would
have to face. This is the reason why time & motion/workflow was done on the most
profitable of Business Name products. (See appendix).
There is the perception that BUSINESS NAME operates with improper planning, or
poor leadership, or Business Name method of work is substandard
Internal Production Reality
If it takes two (2) technicians to build one (1) skip in 5 days, how many skips can they build in one (1)
year? Now to truly answer that question one would have to account for the following: Absent days due to
personal days/illness, vacation breaks, time spent to erect tents onsite and offsite, time spent to build other
items etc. Note that no staff/contract personnel is authorized to work for the absent technician whilst he is
on vacation, even if attempts are made to request replacement.
Time and Motion Calculation
Now Total skip produced in one month = 4 skips (20 days/5 days)
And since there are 12 months in one (1) year, reduce the months available to ten (10) months (due
to vacation and other mentioned legitimate factors above.
This implies that: If four (4) skips are produced in 1 months,
Then in ten (10) months, 40 skips will be produced.
Hence, BUSINESS NAME has a capacity limit in which the business can only make under $12 million
dollars per year, and under the existing conditions described earlier, even that amount of revenue would
prove difficult to make. (Please see Appendix E for Business Name capacity limits in products and
monetary values)

Market Segmentation
The existing customers of BUSINESS NAME are categorized as shown below. Using the same
classification, the second set of table and pie chart indicates the customer segmentation based on revenue
intake. The initiation of an approved marketing and product awareness strategy would intentionally
reflect the essence of this segmentation. This means that appropriate strategy would pertain to the
respective customer type, as well as greater emphasis and resources would sensibly target the more
lucrative segments. (Please see table on page 15 below, that illustrates this approach described here).

Competition – The peculiar dynamics of Business Name competitive challenge
In a competitive landscape where there is relative ease of entry and a splintering of existing shops
operating both formally and with varying degrees of informality, BUSINESS NAME faces competition
from a plethora of welding shops scattered across various locations from inner city, industrial zones and
sub-urban locales. Many of these entities themselves make products for specific businesses, and as such
had taken steps to invest in technologies that are computer programmed based, and less manually
intensive. At the same time BUSINESS NAME has remained frozen in the use of very manually oriented
production methods, with the presence of archaic machines only standing as symbols of a past productive
era in the 1980’s and before. Contrastingly, a CNC machine representing the possibility of technological
innovation lies in a room that has a ceiling in a dilapidated condition – the CNC sitting there not engaged.
This was cleaned and oiled in the midst of 2017, and the roof was also fixed by facilities upon
highlighting that the machine was being wet by rain from the ceiling. The room has also been cleaned and
prepared as part of the plan to get the machine operational.
COMPANY NAME BUSINESSS PLAN - FEBRUARY 2022
17
To highlight the challenge that BUSINESS NAME would have to face to gain any semblance of a
competitive edge, BUSINESS NAME had to hire truck to cut up sheet metals for garbage skips in
Portmore HEART Academy, for nearly one year, as there were simply no machine functional to do it inhouse. A circular saw (far less efficient) was the alternative found to allow BUSINESS NAME to
continue preparation of sheet metals for its most effective income generating product. When we consider
that senior personnel of PARENT COMPANY would audaciously suggest that BUSINESS NAME
technician should retained information of privacy purposes, when spray guns and a compressor
knowingly works 10 times faster, BUSINESS NAME obviously faces a steeper competitive mountain
than it would need to!
Selected Competitive Players
The table below shows selected list of competitors and their respective prices and promised delivery for
two chosen items, namely skips (a big ticket item that is demanding to produce) and lecture chairs (a low
revenue item that cannot be profitable without volume production through economies of scale). The
choice of these contrasting items is a creative method of capturing a ‘snap-shot’ spectrum for other items,
without the exhaustive need to research them individually.

Method of Competitors’ research
Using a ghost shopper’s approach, the internet was used to research location and contacts for firms in the
welding and fabrication industry. A total of thirty two (32) firms were listed as the initial sample.
However only the twelve (12) listed claimed to do at least one of the item under consideration. These
locations were called and/or visited with the shopper acting as a Property Officer interested in purchasing
welded metal products. The results were tabulated as shown above on page 18.
Analysis of Competitors’ Pricing and Delivery
Although there is an apparent wide variation in the prices charged for Garbage Skips among the captured
competitor’s pricing (from a minimum of $244,000.00 to $360,000 for skip with cover), the average
prices charged was found to be $279,000.00 and $250,000.00 for a skip with and without cover,
respectively. If we assume the average value to be a point of convergence, then it would be concluded that
Business Name price is about 4% less than the average market price for a covered skip. Interestingly also,
there is a wide disparity in delivery time promised. If one assumes the response of competitors as a fairly
accurate claim of inherent ability to deliver, then at an average of 5.4 days for a Garbage Skip,
BUSINESS NAME would seem to be on par with such projections. In reality however BUSINESS
NAME takes a rather long period to deliver for various reasons already alluded to, in earlier parts of this
document.
Considering Lecture Desk/Chairs combo, BUSINESS NAME price of $6500.00 was found to be
approximately 14% less than the average price, compared to market, for competitors surveyed. This
product does not generate much profit unless it is packaged in volumes. Competitors claim (on average)
that they would take three
(3) weeks to do 50 chairs. Usually, BUSINESS NAME takes over a month to produce these, not consider
procurement delays. Part of this is due to a greater priority placed on Skips and the non-mandatory flow
of trainees without demonstrator or instructor’s support/presence. If BUSINESS NAME can maintain its
competitive price edge (howbeit marginal in some cases) whilst differentiating on quality/durability and
delivery, then BUSINESS NAME would be a clear winner in the market, with an effective market
campaign.

Pricing Method & Structure of BUSINESS NAME Products
The pricing method pursues cost recovery through inclusion of direct material costs for type and
quantities of items used, as well as labour rate costing. Cost of labour is determined by use of labour rates
as published by the Master Builders Association, per square feet/square meters measurement of work to
be performed. Currently, indirect cost are not factored into the cost equation, as represented by overheads
(utilities, salaries and miscellaneous items) required. A percentage mark-up is usually applied which
varies from 20% to 40%, and this can be reduced by percentage discounts that are offered, for example, to
HEART staff and/or institutions.
General Price Mechanism/Structure
For any given item that BUSINESS NAME produces, the price for that item may be represented by the
equation shown:
Material & Labour Cost = Material Cost/per quant. + Miscellaneous (5%) + Labour Cost
Sub Total Cost
= Material & Labour Cost + Mark-Up % (-Discounted Rate 20%)*
Total Product Price
= Sub Total Cost + GCT**
* Discount Rate is applied to employees of HEART/merged entity
**Government entities, to include HEART institutions are exempted from the GCT charges. GCT charges
apply to all other customer categories.
Revision of Prices
The last price review, previous to the preparation of this business plan was done in 2015. There were no
existing records of the Pricing Template used in BUSINESS NAME, but a copy of some of the product
templates were obtained from Accounts. Due to competitive factors, BUSINESS NAME would need to
proceed with caution in its attempt to recover from any inflationary increments that may be represented
in its input cost profile for the past three (3) years. A collaborative approach is required, where driven by
market data gathering done by BUSINESS NAME, both BUSINESS NAME and Accounts annually
review prices charged for typically produced items.

Sample Pricing Template for a 4.9 Garbage skip with cover
Using the general equation format that was provided earlier, the pricing template that shows the actual
input cost and resultant surplus obtained from the items can be extracted. One should note that it is the
direct production costs that are being compared here. By including only the direct production cost is a
means of testing whether the production process (as a core function/activity) is monetarily efficient. An
inclusion of indirect cost profiles, such as salaries, utilities and other miscellaneous would reveal the
simple fact that the sum total of surplus simply fall short of offsetting these aggregated cost. Hence, the
business logic of the need to (a) expand production quantities (b) diversify types of metal products (c)
consider and implement other offerings/services that the institution should be able to deliver and (d)
offset the cost of the business with complimentary offerings such as short courses. Whilst item (a) can be
achieved by BUSINESS NAME through approved marketing efforts, ALL others require significant
management support at the institutional level and beyond for BUSINESS NAME to actualize.
Please see the sample costing template for the specified garbage skip below:

Advertising and Promotion
Using 2018 as a launch year Business Name leadership must conceptualize, communicate and
seek funding, support and approvals for a robust advertising programme that can create
awareness of its products, and communicate value to existing and potential customers. The
promotional approach for considerations are as shown in the table below:

Steps to Implementation of Business Name Marketing Plan
The turn around and success of BUSINESS NAME as a viable business hinges heavily on addressing all
the internal challenges mentioned previously, but especially on the effective implementation of a sound
Marketing Plan for the business. Whilst it is true that the Manager ‘Company Name is responsible for the
implementation of the plan, the plan is likely to fail without meaningful support and approvals. This
support would have to be derived from the Parent Company Management to include the ‘listed senior
executives’ of the PARENT COMPANY, Accountant/Accounts Department, as well as key corporate
roles - Marketing Department, and possibly the Finance Department. The word ‘support’ encompasses
the conscientious and enabling actions of all these persons, whose actions and approvals affects the
outcome. Hence, to communicate clearly on the collective enabling actions needed an outline of steps is
tabulated here:

Implementation Plan for bringing CNC Machine online
Use of CNC machine as a technological productive tool, can potentially transform BUSINESS NAME
from being one of the most dormant sub-entity to one of the most dominant, revenue producing business
entities within Parent Company portfolio. However, the transformative potential is not only about income.
It is the kind of transformation to move the organization into where it ought to be for the 21st century.
Here is a synopsis of how various facets of the organnization groups can tremendously benefit:
Mechanical Instructors and trainees learning how to use design tools (such as Auto Cad) that
can be interfaced with the machine to execute designs
Computer Technicians learning how to write basic codes that can be programmed into the
machine to produce creative designs
Renewable Energy Technicians (assisted and guided by Instructors), pursuing a project to
design alternative energy source(s) compatible with per phase/single phase demand profiles to
help offset energy consumption of CNC and other high consumption loads/equipment
Electrical Technicians working in tandem with Renewable (and guided by Instructors) to
design circuits for accommodating usage of energy.
All Technicians– Pre-dominantly young population of developing technicians make them
amenable to technological and computer based training. It is the way of the present and of the
future, so virtually all trainees can potentially benefit from CNC knowledge/skills exposure, in
the production factory.
Based on the obvious importance of the CNC activation plan, a comprehensive high level early project
outline has been prepared, with major phases/project milestones, activities, personnel (both initiating and
facilitating), estimated timelines, and a comments column that seeks to add clarity to conceived ideas that
will propel each stage. One should note that, as is typical in many project management approaches, it is
very likely that some of these activities/tasks with associated elements, may be modified through
Progressive Elaboration. This simply means that room for adjustments, collaboration, consultation
flexibility and openness must be accommodated. Please see this outlined template on next page.

Expected Outcomes
The ultimate expectation of this Business Plan and Marketing Strategy is to realize the transformation of
BUSINESS NAME, PARENT COMPANY’s TBE into a viable business, capable of facilitating trainees’
development. From a financial premise, the position of income/expenditure neutrality, and eventually,
generation of surplus revenue, will be achieved by taking the necessary steps as summarized here:
On the basis of the first three summarized steps, it is projected that a marginal surplus would be achieved
by fiscal year 2022/2023, but this is not to say that earlier realization cannot be realized dependent on
Institutional Management and HEART Trust’s leadership commitment to supporting the development of
BUSINESS NAME. The graphical representation below indicates the income and expenditure levels that
will enable marginal profits by 2023. Please note however, that revenue generation of CNC production
activities were not factored into the revenue projections 2023 onwards, as CNC operationalization requires
a detailed set of activities and resource approvals which may be significant.
