 PRODUCTION PROCESS

The company engaged in the production of high quality light weight Hawai
chapels. The conversion of raw material to footwear involves several processes which are
detailed below. Natural rubber is rolled in to the roller of mixing mill. After sometime
clay is added to the processed rubber and other chemicals are added to this. Thus we get
sheets which are used as the lower blue part of the sole. The upper white part is also made
in the form of sheets. The white is put above the blue sheets. They will stick together and
weighted. The sheets of required size and weight are moulded in the hydraulic press or in
the Hawai sole mould. After moulding the sheets are kept for 14 to 20 days. Then the
sheets are cut in to the soles of required size in the cutting press. Then drilling machine
will make 3 holes. After some time the strap are moulded in the strap press. And Strapsare
is inserted in to the sole and are labelled and packed. Then lunar Hawai chapel is ready
for use.

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT:

Every enterprise needs inventory for smooth running of its activities. It serves a
link between production and distribution process. There is generally a time lag between

requirement for inventory. The unforeseen fluctuation in demand and supply of goods
also necessitate the need for inventory. It also provide for a cushion for future price
fluctuations.
