EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

It has been a good learning experience to do the detailed project report on setting up of the Handicraft industry in the RIICO industrial area, Jhunjhunu as a part of my MBA program. The study has been made an attempt to gain better understanding about how actually the manufacturing plant is set up. Under this, at first I generated the product idea of handicraft, matching with my profile. The main objective of the project is to the study the feasibility analysis of the handicraft manufacturing plant. After the idea generation, the industry analysis at both the global and domestic level was done to understand the market trends and other factors. Then the market analysis was done through the survey in form of questionnaires and interviews of the manufacturers. After this using the statistical techniques did the demand analysis. With this the demand estimation, the technical analysis was done. After completing the technical analysis, the financial analysis was done to check the financial feasibility of the project. It involved the preparation of cash flow statements, working capital requirement schedules, profitability statements and the balance sheets of 3 years. This provided the data for using the performance indicators and other capital budgeting techniques. Lastly, the risk analysis was done to estimate the risk involved in the project. On the whole it was a wonderful experience & a great learning opportunity. The complete project was an eye opener which added to my theoretical knowledge. There were times when I was disheartened & disappointed, but there were times when things went right & made me feel proud. Success does not come at once; one has to start right from the scratch & struggle his way through all hardships with courage & determination.

Various attempts have been made to define this broad and diversified industry. The following definition strives to cover diversity and complexity of Handicraft Industry. Defining Handicrafts: Definition According to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization/Information Technology Community (UNESCO/ITC) International Symposium on Crafts and the International Market: Trade and Customs Codification, Manila, Philippines, October 1997: Handicrafts can be defined as products which are produced either completely by hand or with the help of tools. Mechanical tools may be used as long as the direct manual contribution of the artisan remains the most substantial component of the finished product. Handicrafts are made from raw materials and can be produced in unlimited numbers. Such products can be utilitarian, aesthetic, artistic, creative, culturally attached, decorative, functional, traditional, religiously and socially symbolic and significant. Definition according to Govt. of India: Handicraft can be defined, which is made by hand; should have some artistic value; they may or may not have functional utility.

Importance of Handicrafts:

The Cultural Importance: Handicrafts play very important role in representing the culture and traditions of any country or region. Handicrafts are a substantial medium to preserve of rich traditional art, heritage and culture, traditional skills and talents which are associated with peoples lifestyle and history.

Industry Analysis

India is a country of rich culture, history and traditions. India is one of the major producer and supplier of Handicrafts products in the world. India has been major producer and supplier of handicrafts products since very long time. Before the industrial development, this art and industry was a potential economic advantage for the country. During recent years, the importance of handicrafts has been surged due to their cultural and financial values. The small-scale industries including handicrafts can play a major role in the development of the economy of both developed and the developing countries equally. The 90-95% of the total industrial products of the world is produced in small workshops run by less than 100 people. For instance, Japan, which is at the peak of the economic development, has considered 84% of its industries as small and medium scale industries. In countries such as India and China, handicrafts are as high as the mechanized products in quality and volume, and are a major source of their foreign earnings. These countries are focusing on the development of handicraft industry, in order to strengthen the economy. The Indian handicrafts industry is highly labour intensive, cottage based and decentralized industry. The industry is spread all over the country mainly in rural and urban areas. Most of the manufacturing units are located in rural and small towns, and there is huge market potential in all Indian cities and abroad. Handicraft industry is a major source of income for rural communities employing over six million artisans including a large number of women and people belonging to the weaker sections of the society. The Handicraft sector is highly creative sector and produces large variety of crafts products. This industry is localized segment of the domestic and international market. In India the production of craft products are done on both large and small scale. Because of low capital investment people can start their business on small scale. Through this flexibility the demand and supply can be managed Hough Indian Handicraft industry is considered a cottage industry, but it has evolved as one of the major revenue generator over the years. There has been consistent growth of 15% over

few years and the industry has evolved as one of the major contributor for export and foreign revenue generation. There is huge demand for the Indian Handicraft products in both national and international market. To match the demand and supply with quality, there is need to have greater technological support and innovativeness with the uniqueness in industry.

Wooden Handicraft Industrial Overview

Wooden handicrafts are specialized skills passed on from one generation to the next. The term 'wooden handicrafts' refers to a wide range of wooden items carrying utilitarian and artistic value that are made by hand, or with the use of simple tools. Indian wooden handicrafts reflect unmatched workmanship, fine designs, and subtle elegance. This makes India one of the chief exporters of wooden handicrafts in the world market. According to the classification of Indian industries, a small scale industry is defined as an industry that is:

Not registered under the Factory Act. Investment in fixed assets does not exceed Rs 60 lakhs. Modern small scale industries like power looms etc. Traditional industries like handlooms, sericulture, khadi, coir, and handicrafts.

Small scale industries are classified into two categories:

Wooden handicrafts fall in the category of small scale traditional industries. Role in Indian Economy The wooden handicrafts industry plays an important role in the Indian economy. This industry requires low capital investment and other resources. The wooden handicraft sector provides a high ratio of value addition, and has emerged as one of the major sources of foreign exchange earnings for India. Indian wooden handicrafts are much sought after the world over, and form an important export commodity of India. Although India's handicraft exports show a consistent increase of fifteen percent every year, its share in the international market is not more than two percent. The Indian wooden handicraft sector is the second largest employment provider (after agriculture). It employs about six million artisans. Women constitute a large section of the handicrafts industry, including people belonging to the weaker sections of society.

Conclusion: The Indian Handicraft Industry stands a unique place among all other industries. It represents the rich culture, tradition and heritage of India. Indias rich cultural diversity and 12

heritage provides a unique and huge resource for developing craft products.

Demand Analysis
After conducting the market survey in the form of questionnaire and interview of the manufacturers, the next step is to estimate the effective demand in the past and the present. As per the secondary data the demand of wooden handicraft is as follows: Total Demand in units = 9200000 units/year (on an average of all items listed below) Category wise demand of wooden handicraft:

S. No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Items Chairs Dining tables Coffee tables Book shelves Sopha Bad Other decorative items Total export from India

Item wise demand in unit/year 15, 64,000 11, 96,000 18, 40,000 11, 04,000 4, 60,000 5, 52,000 24, 84,000 92, 00,000 units/year 27

Supply:

So annual demand of these 20 manufacturer is = 10560*12 = 126,720 units/ year Total manufacturer of wooden handicraft in Shekhawati region = 300 Total supply = {300*126720}/ 20 = 1900,800 units /year

Demand-Supply Gap Estimation

The demand of handicraft is 9200000 units/ year and the supply is 1900,800 units/ year. So the demand supply gap is: = 9200000-1900800 = 7299200 units/ year

28

This gap is currently filled in by the manufacturers who are located outside Rajasthan which is fulfilled by nearby states like U.P., Madras, and Jammu & Kashmir. So to fill this gap the handicraft manufacturing unit can be set up locally.

Demand Forecasting
The information collected in market analysis is helpful in forecasting estimated demand for my product. As 0.082% of the total market is the potential market for my product, this is the market for local brands. On the basis of this survey, my product will replace 0.082% of the total demand. The market is growing with a growth rate of 15 %; accordingly my production will be there. These also decide my capacity as on the basis of the market demand my capacity will be 60% for 1st year & than will grow accordingly. The plant will run only in one shift. The production and capacity related data will be: Year Operating capacity 60% 65% 70% 76% 82% 89% 97% No. of shifts (In 8hrs/day) 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Total Production (Units /year) 7200 7800 8400 9120 9840 10680 11640

2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015

Marketing Channel
Most producers do not sell their goods directly to the final users; between them stands a set of intermediaries performing a variety of functions. These intermediaries constitute a marketing channel. The marketing channels just not only serve the markets but they also make markets. Currently, the existing marketing channel of the wooden handicraft manufacturers is as follows:

Manufacturers

Distributors
29

End Users

30

Strategic Marketing Plan:

Wooden handicraft is being an unbranded commodity, so as such the manufacturers incur no promotional expenditure. Sometimes they just increase the commissions or the margins of these, if the targets are achieved enormously. But in order to differentiate the product and capture the existing market and to develop strong customer base, some strategic marketing plan is necessary to be designed and implemented. Various strategies that will be used being a new entrant are: Steady supply with timely delivery to fulfil the demand of the domestic area as well as outside area and good quality would be one of the strategic strength of the marketing plan. Apart from good quality good designs are an important factor. These designs will be based on traditional pattern so that it can impress foreign customer. Besides from these efforts e-commerce is also a promotional tool for marketing of this product. So I will do online selling also in order to promote my product. So orders will also be taken online apart from fax and telephonically.

Technical Analysis

Process involve in manufacturing of wooden handicraft:

A lot of skill and hard work goes into every piece of Indian wooden handicraft. It mirrors Indian culture, and each handicraft is a masterpiece in its own right. Let's take a peek at the actual process which goes into creating a piece of wooden handicraft.

Raw wood available in the form of logs is cut into planks of desired thickness and length. The piece of wood is then seasoned to obtain a texture which is favourable for carving. Decorative patterns are first drawn on the wood with a pencil. The design is then carved into the wood with a carving tool. Craftsmen inlay the wooden handicraft with metal, bone, or wood which gives off a contrast effect, enhancing the intricacies of the carved design. Different pieces of carved wood are joined together to make complete, functional objects. A protective coating is applied with a suitable wood finish.

Production Time
Wood carving is a time consuming process. The time needed by Indian craftsmen to create carved wooden handicrafts may range anywhere from a week (for small items) to a few months (for large items which require elaborate carving techniques.

Production Tools
Indian craftsmen have a wide range of tools at their disposal, depending on the stage of production. Some of them are as follows:

Saws: Powered by an electric motor, Band saws are used to cut off scrap wood effortlessly. Chain saws are used to cut logs for large carvings. Drills are primarily used to drill holes, and they are available with several attachments to perform sanding, sawing, mixing paint etc.

32

Lathes are used to turn wood. They are used to make spherical, cylindrical or round objects. They are handy while making vases, bowls, and plates. Primarily used for whittling and chip carving, Carving knives are also used to make the surface of the wood smooth. Wood-carving chisels have a sharp flat edge which is used to cut into the wood. They are available in bent, straight, and spoon shapes. U-gouges have curved cutting edges which form a 'u' shape, hence the name. Craftsmen use them to remove large pieces of unwanted wood, to define large shapes, and to round out the edges.

Also known as parting tools, V-gouges are used to cut fine lines. They are used for outlining while carving intricate patterns.

These tools are not specific and easily available at local market because it is manufactured locally.

Materials
Babool/Aakashiya: This is available in Rajasthan and some part of Gujarat. The rates of babool are Rs.20 / sq ft Shisham: Most of wooden handicraft is made of shisham wood. The highest demand is of shisham made wooden handicraft. This is available in Gujarat, U.P. & Bihar. This is made available by local wholesale timber merchant. The rates are Rs. 30/sq ft. Pine: Rs. 25 /sq ft. These are less demanded. Teak: Rs. 80 /sq ft Mango: Rs. 25 /sq ft Only Shisham will be used to manufacture wooden handicraft because it is more in demand and suitable for these type of handicrafts.

Labour Requirements
Handicraft is a labour intensive product and it is all depend upon labour only and all kind of labour requirements are there like in this we need skilled , semi skilled and unskilled workers. So total requirements are as follows: Employees Production Supervisor Accountant Skilled Workers Semi skilled Workers Unskilled workers Peon Number 1 1 5 8 3 1 Salary (Rs.)

Strategy to appoint & retain employees

On time payment is a best retention strategy. So I will give on time payments to retain my skilled worker. Medical facility to all worker and employees. Occasional bonus to skilled workers. Housing facility: I will provide labour quarter to skilled worker who are not from local areas. I will provide employment to their spouses based upon their ability.
