PREFACE:
Getting pure information is some thing difficult while its also takes time to
get data on the relevant topic. The report draws heavily from the experiences
and opinions of the experts in the field of marble industry and personal
efforts. We studied different reports which were prepared on the relevant
topic. In The Month of October the Relevant Topic was assigned to us .
we were gone to different marble industries located on BARA and
JAMROOD. We also went to MALAGORI INDUSTRY for the purposes of
attaining the related data. People are not willingly to provide data because
they considered us as government related officers or some about income tax
officers, which ultimate results in hiding of exact information.
Transportation to these areas also creates problems. People of these areas are
feel hesitation to meet us in English dress which ultimately leads us to
different difficulties too. People of this areas are very helpful and having a
great realm of hospitality. Our personal visit to these areas was something
difficult because of lacking of time, because public transportation takes time
to reach selected sites.

Executive summary.
The marble industry in the N.W.F.P was going to peak but recent
crises effects it much and more.
Marble sector of the Pakistan contributes Pakistan exports largely.
A huge foreign and domestic investment comes for this sector.
Italy would invest $100 million in Pakistan's marble industry.
While the stones of marbles are mostly available in the rural areas
of N.W.F.P, Peshawar. The main theme about our report is to
highlight the different problems regarding with financial and non
financial areas of its processing. Study profiles, entire spectrum of
the local marble ranging from the availability and location of the
deposits to their mining, processing, exporting related problems.
Portion 1
This is the main area of factory it is called lifter this portion of factory lift up
the big stone it is further divided into one following parts.
Chain
Motor
The total cost of this machine is Rs 150000. This is the most common type
of machine just like a liver which is run by a pump machine. The most risky
factor in my factory because some time chain may be broken while
weakness of string is a risky matter may be it can broken down so that why
my labor feel it risky
Portion 2
This portion is also called Karain which cost lies from 6-8 hundred
thousands. the second most important part of the industry which is further
consisted on following main items and machine.
Karain. The main machine which is used for lifting the big stones.
Paltry. It is just like the train paltry used for movement during the
cutting process of stones. I purchased it through scrape centre in
Peshawar.
Upper Blade. The main cutter which is used as a main part in the
cutting process.
Rightward blade. From the right side it is used for cutting and making
of small pieces.
Water pump and pipe. for the smooth cutting of the stones and
making it into large thin plates water performs its function well.
Handle machine. One individual skill person is required for running
the machine, it is just like the computer machine which is controlled
through 2 main gears and handles.
It always required two persons fro its operations. a separate small Room is
required for its operation and its handling.
Portion 3
The third main portion of the machine is consists on 3 main cutters which
further cut the main stones into small parts of 9 inches to 4 inches tiles.
The total cost of the machine is 20-25 thousands per blade which is
consumed with in 10-15 days. Every baled is run and operated through a
water pump whish is a cost of Rs: 100000.
The whole machine is operated and controlled penal board which is
operated by 2 persons. As the big stone of 7-8 tones may be divided into 800
to 1000 feet, as it depends upon the nature and condition of the stones. As
one blade of Rs: 5000 is consumed with in 10-15 days on the daily basis of
cutting of 120 feet.
The 3 employees are required for the whole cutting process, these are
employees are directed related with each others in cutting process.
Portion 4
As the big stones are cut into little small pieces of 9-4 inches .these are
called tiles. These tiles are further are further transferred to a machine for
polishing called buffer. This polishing machine is further divided on
following parts,
Gutka cost

of marble tiles, while due to large financial crises and a huge loss done in
real estate people are unwillingly to buy my product, now because of cost
which is increasing in form of raw material and other fixed expenses.
Instead of systematic risk which can not be eliminated, the availability of
skilled labor is a main problem for me.
Marble along or in combination with some other materials are extensively
used for the construction of all sorts of decoration items, matching many
minds of requirements. Marble sector is growing at an annual rate of 13%
and has been a major provider of raw tiles, finished tiles and other products
to the provinces of N.W.F.P and Punjab .According to current updates there
are 1450 units in processing in sector of marble industry.

3) Resizing Machine, Single blade 24 X 24
4) Manual Polisher with Pneumatic Pressure
5) Manual Polisher, Single Head
6) Cross Cutter Machine, Double blade;
7) Calibrator Machine, Double head; and

Q.NO.1
As profit per feet in a month (240650/12000) =Rs.2 per feet. This is
decreasing at month wise due to increase of raw material cost and high
payment of labor cost, while what should I do for reducing the raw material
cost in the way of production process?
Q.NO.2
Real estate prices are decreasing day by day, while due to high out flow of
capital from N.W.F.P (Peshawar) to Dubai, now people have any option to
invest in building and construction, while my product is directly related with
construction, what I should do for increasing the production and selling of
my products whether I should do MARKET DIVERSIFICATION and what
proper cost effective channel of distribution to other markets?
Q.NO.3
As there is systematic risk, that is uncontrollable, and whole economy is
facing a huge financial stress and some time my factory remain off due to
bad circumstances, but I have to pay a huge amount on monthly basis, while
on the other hand there remain no income in certain month so it creates a
financial gap for me, what should I do for completing this gap instead of
going to any financial institution which is considered by my family as
conventional?
