POM Presentation Report

SUNSHINE INDUSTRIES

1. Company Profile:
• They are in plastic manufacturing line from past 25 years. Initially
they started manufacturing tri-cycles plastic seats & tyres and also 25
& 35 litre jerry cans by recycling the used plastic waste material. But
in October, 2010 only, they started with virgin (fresh) raw material for
the plastic containers for greater strength & food grain quality.
• The owner of this firm, Mr. Davinderpal Singh Bajaj, is very hard
working & dedicated person & has vision of expanding their business
to Punjab & whole India . Their this vision is being backed by the
mission of building good relations & tie-ups with all big companies,
who need packaging plastic products, by manufacturing environment
friendly & quality products.

2. Product Profile:
They produce Plastic containers, which are used for the different kind of
packaging. There are only 3 different types of products, therefore less
variety viz:
• 50 litre rocket shape for chemicals packaging,
• 50 litre open top jars for the food grade materials i.e pesticides,
food materials, pharmaceuticals products etc.,
• 35 liter jerry can for liquid solvents.
These Plastic containers are available in 2 different colour combinations ie.
Red-White & Black-Blue.

3. Total available and Used Capacity:

• The plant is still not utilizing the optimum capacity of machine as
the machine is capable of working throughout the year without any
break-down. But the customers are still not aware about this plant &
its products, so there is comparatively less demand in market. Hence,
the machine is under utilized.
• The Machine is having the capacity to produce different sizes of
products from 10-80 litres but only 35 & 50 litre sizes products are
being produced currently.
4. Type of Process:
 • It is a continuous process as the whole production unit/ machines
needs at least 3 hour to get heated for the production to start. Its major
focus is on volume as they produce around 300 drums with in 12
hours process.
• The raw material is put into the hopper of the machine, further
which is melted with high pressure heat from where the raw material
comes out in the form of a tube. This tube is blown inside the mould
with high pressure, to get the shape of that mould.

5. Type of Layout:
• Fixed Position layout- The machine remains stationary as it is very
heavy & difficult to move. Here, workers/ materials/equipments are
moved as per the need.
• Warehouse and storage layout- This production unit requires alot
of space for storing of the finished products as well as the raw
material as the products are not heavy but space consuming so they
have big gowdowns/ warehouses.

6. Location advantage to Company:

• The Plant is located in the focal point, phase- 7, near Hero factory,
Mangli group, Ludhiana .
• As Ludhiana is hub of industries & has many chemicals & dyes
units who need plastic packaging products, therefore proximity to
customers & low transportation cost to buyers.
• Focal point has continuous supply of electricity without any power
cuts except once a week, usually Monday, therefore continuous
production. It also has proximity to labours.

7. Quality Policy Regarding Products:

• The raw material used for this production process is food grade
plastic grains, which are available with a few govt. approved
companies only like Reliance, Haldia and GAIL. Hence, the quality of
products depends mainly on raw material.
• They are having the fully automatic, touch screen panel P.L.C
control machine, 1st in Punjab which consumes very less electricity
i.e. 55 kilo watts as compared to traditional machine which consumes
80 kilo watts. They have purchased this machine from India ’s best
plastic manufacturing machines suppliers Jagmohan industries who
import German technology, which are know for high definition
technology.
 • This production process follows Lean manufacturing concept i.e.
no wastage is there as the waste of the plastic is again re-cycled for
the same process. It is 100% safe process for the operators working on
it & also for the environment.

8. Plan for Future:

They are planning to add 3 new moulds viz. 25 & 75 litre open top for
fertilizers packaging, 40 litre mouser cans for mobile oil packaging.
Each mould cost around Rs. 3-5 lakh. So, in order to more variety they have
to incur cost for every new shape & size of plastic containers.
Also, they can run the machine for 24 hours in future as per market needs &
demand as their machine can run for continuous 6 months.
