Rahim Yar Khan is one of the modern district headquarter cities in Punjab.
Although the city seems a far off place to those living in Lahore, Karachi or Islamabad, but the city has very good civic facilities. Analysis For the implementation of new technology we are planning to control the Super Mart activities with the proper computerized system (like; lifts, stairs elevators, ERP system for our Supply chain and accounts process) in order to get rid of panic situation and also make to satisfy the customer and good will of the Mart, we also include conference halls to have corporate meetings, seminars etc involve with creating new knowledge and new output, for the convenience of the customer we have to plan a ATM machine that is complete the need of customer on the spot. d. Global: For globally putting an image of our Super Mart we are planning to search out the sum of internationally recognize brands (like; KFC, Bareeze, Saeed Ghani, Levis, Hang ten etc)
2. Industrial Environment:
Wheat is the staple food grains of this area. Vegetables are consumed mostly in winter when turnibs, radish and mustard are plentiful. Sag (pot herb) and dal are commonly used in super. Bread smeared with Ghee or butter is given to the working male members of the family and the women folk rarely enjoy this buttered bread.
A favorite dish of rich is Saji, a goat or lamb roasted in the oven or on fire.

The outlets included KFC, Saeed Ghani, 3D Cinema, Levis and some of the popular outlet included in our Super Mart which are not only fulfill the requirement of the customer but also the basis of our profitability of our business.
3. Competitive Environment:
Cafe Lamis The Food Track and Hot Chicks are best Hotels and fast food restaurants of this city. Some more famous restaurants are Bhatti Snacks, Pizza and Pizza. There are so many small cafes in this city. There are some small marts also named as Rohi Mart and Qrras. There is a local cinema in the city, and some boutiques (like; Bareeze, Junaid Jamshaid) Analysis As there is no super mart in the city so there is no such competitor survive in the market but for the need and requirement of the customer which make them a satisfactory environment of shopping and entertainment we are planning to open a Super Mart on the standardized strategies followed by the market. There are some small competitors have founded in the study of the external environment and we must focus on them and the great advantage for us is that all of the customers requirements are fall in a single place by which they can easily fulfill their needs and wants.

SWOT ANALYSIS:
Strength
Many more accessories are being available at one place. We have more focused on quality of the product instead of price. The branded outlets are the main source for the attraction of customers. The entertaining environment is also one of the main strength of Ms Mart. Good and healthy environment is being provided for the customers and the consumers both. One of the main strength of the Ms Mart is that there is none of other mart is being situated in the city. One of the major strength of the Ms Mart is define by its location i.e. it is situated in the center of the city so the people can easily avail this great opportunity.
Weakness
As the mart is located in the center of the city, so there is some difficulties faced in the parking system; but the underground parking area is provided to overcome this problem as much as can. In the city there is a main problem of that is the shortage of supply on electricity.
Opportunity
A great opportunity for the customer to avail the facilities A great opportunity for the investor that there isnt any competitor in the city As investor purchases the land by their own, so we can easily manage the rent of land
Threat
At the initial stage, to start a business the small competitors may have to create some difficulties to run the business in actual direction, because the linkage of customers can break with the passage of time. The risk factor is very high.

MARKETING OBJECTIVES
We are providing a great opportunity for the customers to buy all the accessories
under single roof and we want to attract new customers.
We want to increasing the sales volume rather than making profit in the short-term. There isnt such type of gigantic competitor in this business in the city. So eventually
raising prices in future will not be a problem for our company since people will not switch to some other place to buy the products.
Using this strategy our cost will be controlled and it will lead to greater efficiency. It also creates high stock turnover throughout the distribution process. Our main focus is to provide the standardized and high quality of the product rather
than the prices.
For the marketing campaigns we are going to use the social media and print media. We also want to make some profitable schemes for the customers from those
schemes our customers can take benefit.

buy the things under one roof. The service and the price are the second criteria while shopping in the mall.
Analysis: From the customer point of view most of the customers are usually interested in
branded products due to their price and quality so we are decided for the availability of branded products in our mart and we also interested to provide a sufficient service for the convenience of the customers and also this would help for the stability of mart and a profitable business we earn by focusing to the customer's needs and wants. Most of the customers also give the indication that they feel much better to buy the products, or want to do shopping under one roof as compare to different markets. So, this would be a positive indicator for our business to give great opportunity to our customers to entertain different facilities which are provided.
PRICING STRATEGY
Penetration pricing strategy will be used in pricing the products in our super market. In
penetration pricing strategy the company sets relatively low entry price of the products and with the passage of time it eventually raises the prices . Reasons behind using this strategy
2. We have a marketing objective of increasing sales volume rather than making profit in the short-term .
3. There is no competitor in this business in Rahim Yar Khan. So eventually raising prices
in future will not be a problem for our company since people will not switch to some other place to buy the products .
4. Using this strategy our cost will be controlled and it will lead to greater efficiency .

SUPPLY CHAIN
For the process of supply chain we have a supply chain manager in this mart and he should be knows about all the aspects of supply chain; that how to make the relationship with our suppliers, (is it any type of collaborative or alliance relationship in between the mart and their suppliers). This procedure should tackle with the ERP system, and we use the Oracle base system in this mart.
PROCUREMENT OF INVENTORY
For the procedure of procurement and controlling of inventory we are using ERP system which is based on Oracle, and according to our plan and our management there were a main server where the sold stock automatically mention and it would be linked with the cash counters, through this process we can easily know that which inventory is on its lead time and our inventory controller can easily make the order for those products/ items. After the order process our supply chain manager should make the possible effort for purchase the inventory on the behalf of our relations with our suppliers.
BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Service process:
Since we are establishing a super mart and will be providing services (selling of household items, food, entertainment) so there wont be any production process.
