 INTRODUCTION
 Asia Glass Enterprise was founded by Sheikh Siraj Alam in the year 1985.
 He started this business by setting up an auto parts shop which
eventually led to the establishment of production house of side mirrors
due to increased market demand.

 Asia glass enterprise is one of the most significant glass and mirror
manufacturer in Pakistan.
 With more than 37 years of experience.
 Factory covering a space of 1,200sqm.
 Since its founding, asia glass enterprise glass has been constantly
upgrading its production house to be a comprehensive factory that meets
world-class standards.
 They use the latest technology computerized
glass cutters, automatic glass edge grinding
machine laser-engraving and continuous
tempering furnace.

Asia Glass Enterprise glass is a one-stop-shop,

everything is done in-house.

Their research and development team are

up to date with new technology and trends.

Expansion in automotive industry China

started its exports which became a major
hindrance in the growth.

Their main clients include Honda, Suzuki and

Yamaha.

DATA GATHERING
INVENTORY SYSTEM:
The company is currently using ERP software, Furthermore,
the ideal supply chain situation in the Fast-Moving Consumer
Goods (FMCG) industry is the ability to create "sufficient"
stock to cover orders and deliver "just enough" merchandise
to every outlet. Just in Time (JIT) production and delivery is
the term for this method, where reload bars follow the JIT
strategy because the aim is to reduce flow time and cost
within the production system.
 

RAW MATERIAL:
The raw materials required to manufacture mirrors are plain
glass, rod, silver nitrate, paints, and other chemical such as
ammonia, sulphuric acid, sodium, copper coating and packing
materials.

STEPS OF MANUFACTURING
OF AUTOMOTIVE MIRRORS
STEP A:
*Rods arriving at the work station for
cutting bending welding and coating.
*Coated rods are then sent to assembly
department for further processes
STEP C:
*Mirror sheets arrive for cutting and then
bending in the furnace
*Metallizing is done with coating of Zinc
for longer lifespan
*Partially processed materials goes to the
assembly department
STEP B:
*Then Plastic Polymers are molded for
making mirror covers
*They are then sent to assembly
department for further processes
STEP D:
* There mirror covers are expanded to fit
in the mirror and the rod
*After that they are cleaned and packed,
ready for dispatch
