Industrial Robot Manufacturing Business Plan

Overview
Start-Up Business Plan

j363j

Reconfigurable manufacture of products with reduced expenses and increased quality/delivery management with industrial robot(s), 5-axis gantry CNC(s), offline programming, simulation software and eMachineShop.

As of now, "Even larger firms are relucant", [to implement reconfigurable manufacturing]. "They perceive an element of risk in even adapting and adopting technologies. When successful, they are quickly imitated by way of reverse engineering or reengineering". "Thus they do not get adequate return on investment and when they fail there is always a loss. In addition to these, there is acute lack of institutional support for mobilization of capital". "The normal financial institutions do not want to take risk of financing such ventures due to high uncertainties involved. These problems of non-appropriablility deter firms to undertake proper R&D&E activity".

Products and Services Offered
The company is responsible for the manufacturing of products it is contracted to manufacture within the time specified in the manufacturing contract.

Mission, Goals and Objectives
The objective of this company is to manufacture products with the use of reconfigurable manufacturing industrial robot(s), 5-axis gantry CNC(s), reconfiguable gantry CNC ingot manufacturing foundry, reconfigurable gantry CNC die casting and injection molding, offline programming, simulation software and eMachineShop.
