11 MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT :
The company is in the business of manufacturing plastic moulded components for white goods, automobile and entertainment electronics. The company has it factory at No.131/2, Thiruneermalai Road, Nagalkeni, Chromepet, Chennai.
PRODUCT RANGE:
The company manufactures moulded components from 200 grams to 3000 grams of different sizes. It has installed eight moulding machines in this facility of capacity ranging from 150 Tons to 850 Tons.
QUALITY CONTROL:
The company has initiated a two tier quality control system for all its products. The supervisors and operators check the quality of the product as it comes out of the machines. Any defect in the machine of deformation, color change are identified and moved to defective goods storage.
In the second stage a separate inspector checks for this dimension and fitment of the product and then affix his seal for approval.
MARKETING:
The company visits every other plastic component user as a regular basis and try to add them as customer and then try to retain them by timely supply and quality products.
OPPORTUNITY AND THREAT :
The growth of Chennai as a automobiles and white goods manufacturing centre generates lot of opportunities for plastic component manufactures like our company. However a 20% power cut plus evening peak hour restrictions between (06.00 p.m. to 10.00 p.m.) for the last three years put untold miseries for all plastic manufactures.
It is very difficult to meet the existing demand. The company resort to generate current using a generator which prohibitively experience. This prevent us from making use of the opportunities.

The general manpower problem affecting all manufacturing industries is a cause for worry for the company. The all arrived raise in price and the salary level prevelent due to growth of I.T. Industries in Chennai, is affecting the margin of the company. The salary has to be increased several times in a year. The labour turnover is another area of concern. The migrant labour from other part of India gives some relief but can cause problems also.
RISK AND CONCERN :
The main raw material used is ABS. The price of raw material is highly fluctuating according to the price of crude price. However, we have an agreement with our customers to change the price as and when the raw material price change.
DISCUSSION ON FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE:
