Market Position.

Our company will be focusing much on budgeting and competitiveproducts. Our products will be able to compete with South East Toyota,

~ 8 ~

Amtec, Tebrite Investments, because most of our products are $20cheaper and they are genuine. Sometimes their spares that are notgenuine have the same price with our used genuine spares , while someof such products has the same prices with our new genuine spares. Forinstance at Tebrite Tie rod ends that are not genuine are 30 dollars,the same price with our second hand tie rod ends. While at Amtec aradiator that is not genuine has the same price with ours. While theabove companies does not have discount facilities at our company anyindividual person who will buys spares which cost more than aUS$1000 dollars will have a discount of 10% while companies such asestates will get the same discount if they buy spares of more than US$8 000.

Also given the bad state of the roads everyday there are a lot ofbreakdowns and that also increases our market.

Our staff members will also participate in the nationalcompetition usually spearheaded by croco motors, the competition isall about who knows motor spares better than the other.

Our innovations will beprotected by signing confidentiality agreement.

Also we have observed thatour products will attract a lot of customers because they are cheaperand genuine as compared to those found at other companies.

OPERATING PLAN.

Operating hours.

We will operate from 8 am to 6p.m , six days per week (Monday toSaturday ). But if there happens to be an emergence for the sake ofour customers our workers will be at their service.

Operating system and suppliers

In our business we are going to operate through buying and

reselling of spare motor parts. We intend to get our products

both from suppliers within the country and some from South

Africa. Internally, our suppliers will be companies such as

~ 18 ~

Nissan Zimbabwe, Nissan Clover Leef, Hurricane Automatic and Burj

Automatic Zimbabwe. South African suppliers will be Limpopo

Midas, Jed Tractors (Ford, Yto) and Bosch South Africa.

Facilities.

There are various facilities that we require to enable a smooth

running of our business . These include computers, printers .

Labour

In terms of labour for our business we are going to employ

skilled workers who possess knowledge concerning our business

products and those with skills of doing business. Job

descriptions of the employees are, human resource manager being

responsible for overseeing department functions and managing

employees, accountant whose responsibility will be that of making

calculation on cash flows within the business, parts salesman who

will be responsible for doing invoices. Parts picker is another

job description for our employees and this one will be

responsible for taking products that could have been purchased

and handle them to the customers, store man whose responsibility

is that of planning and organizing stock and inventory and also

controlling costs and spending, in simpler terms he/she make sure

that stock do not run out, receiving and dispatch clerk who will

be responsible for receiving items and also to check the

dispatcher of products and making sure that the quantity matches

with that on the receipts. There is also a purchase manager whose

~ 19 ~

of goods upon receipt, making sure that the invoice is correct

and then speed the invoice by forwarding it to the accounting

department. Each of these employees will make sure that he/she

performs the best in as much as business work is concerned.

Inventory control operations

On inventory control operations we are going to focus on aspects

like receiving of goods, storage, schedule and also security.

Firstly, on receiving goods, personnel in charge of receiving

goods or items, that is, receiving and dispatch clerk will fully

check every single delivered order for accurate quantity and

usability. He or she will make sure to avoid acceptance of items

that are not documented and never allow signing for orders that

are not complete. Under storage of goods, we will carefully

consider every item in our inventory to be sure that they are in

a safe environment or temperature to ensure long-term storage. We

are also going to set a schedule of regular counts to keep a

close record of our fluctuating inventory and this will help in

understanding and predicting ordering needs and reduce shortages.

In our business we are also going to make sure that there is

security as far as our products are concerned, that is, avoidance

of customer and employee theft. Evaluation of inventory security

will be of great importance in reducing some losses. We are going

to limit the number of people having access to our more expensive

inventory items by storing them in a separate locked area to

avoid huge losses. As part of our inventory control operations

~ 20 ~

under security systems, we are also going to create an employee

theft policy that must be signed by each employee explaining the

consequences of legal action for offenders. All these inventory

control operations will be used in order to ensure success of the

business.

Quality control.

Quality control methods

We adhere to uncompromised excellence in quality through sourcing

and distribution of products that are satisfied by The Standards

Association of Zimbabwe (SAZ) or ISO .In our business, we are

going to use customer feedback and total quality control as our

quality control methods. On customer feedback, we are going to

rely on the customers comments to determine the quality of our

products, that is, customers will buy the products and use them

and later provide feedback basing on the performance of our

products. Thus if they make complains, we will look for

alternative suppliers if need be or just approach the suppliers

so that they can improve on quality for the products they supply

us. Under total quality control, we are going to monitor our

sales to see if there will be an increase or decrease. A decrease

in sales would mean poor quality of our products, but an increase

in sales would mean that we are offering products of high

quality. These quality control methods are the ones we are to use

so that we continue to offer good quality products hence leading

to the success of the business since customers will continue

buying from us.
