CHAPTER II PROJECT BACKGROUND and HISTORY

Today’s

society

is

giving

much

of

attention

on

creating things which will bring convenience and benefits to human being. The modern lifestyle demands for things beyond our basic needs. The use of cleaning agents be it for personal or home use has become a necessity than an extravagance. This is because of dependence

of

health

on

hygienic

practices.

On

the

contrary,

the

present economic distress leads to a difficulty in meeting these needs for

we

have

to

prioritize

the

things

which

we

really

can’t

live

selling

and

without as food, clothing, and shelter. Because

of

this,

the

notion

on

direct

distributing GRIST products was initiated. These are products which have

the

same

qualities

with

those

well-known

and

branded

in

the

market. This idea came with the aim to assist the public in reaching and obtaining some needs which are within the main priorities yet important and at the same time securing the benefits of good qualities from those without worrying on the affordability. With maximization

of

the

thought

resources

of

usage

the

business

through

an

as

a

extended

distributor, service

with

laundry acceptance was decided to be added. Moreover, a new kind of service is to be opened for the availment of the people of Lavesarez, Northern Samar.

Nature of the Business In real sense, Liezel’s Sabon Factory Outlet and Laundry Shop has for its main objective a necessity of today’s living, the sanitation. Human health is bound on the situation of his environment, thus, this business intends to serve this ultimate purpose. The need for cleaning agents for personal, home/ building and laundry use, as well as perfumes for men and women is what this business will be trying to meet. These products do have the same, and if not, at least have almost the same qualities with those currently existing at the market. Only that the packaging is a bit given up for those are directly taken from the manufacturer. Laundry services is also

expected

to

be

rendered

to

those

who

seek

quality

cleaning

process of clothes, be it from households or business establishments. This business will be distributing its products through direct selling, thus, a credit system is expected to create a broad and accessible market. Some of its products will of course be used in its laundry division to likewise promote and attest the quality of the products. The community in the town proper of Lavesarez, Northern Samar is the initial target market of Liezel’s Sabon Factory Outlet and Laundry Shop. But once the business is already well-established, it is expected to cater the needs of the neighboring communities.

Rationale The

absence

of

businesses

of

exactly

the

same

nature

Lavesarez, Northern Samar is one of the opportunities Liezel’s Sabon Factory Outlet and Laundry Shop is expecting to seize. Yes, there are general products

merchandise at

the

stores

form

and

existing price

but

this

none

of

business

them

offers.

offer It

must

the be

emphasized that the products to be sold might be inferior in packaging compared to the one’s already existing in the market but the quality is surely not sacrifice. And the necessities of practical living are expected to lead to a choice of sacrificing packaging for the same product quality at a lesser price. In addition, the credit system to be established is expected to be taken advantage by the customers who have the intention of reselling the products. The business will be situated in a commercial area of Lavesarez, Northern Samar, exposed enough to create a market for its laundry

services.

Some

people

may

perceive

seeking

of

a

laundry

service as an extravagance but it could be a great help to individuals and businesses that are busy enough to do this with themselves and to those

who

seek

a

better

cleaning

process

for

their

clothes.

Its

presence at the center of the town is expected to create an extensive demand for both the products and laundry services. Standing

on

the

main

base

is

the

products

and

services’ nature itself being a necessity makes its great opportunity to sell on individual household, and businesses. As the location and

CHAPTER V MANPOWER AND MANAGEMENT

Organizational Structure

The organizational structure describes the official relationships of persons in an organization.

It has to do with the chains of

command and the division of duties, with the emphasis on the former. It forms part of the over-all organization plan.

The organization

chart should be set in a clear picture with the job descriptions and operating

procedures

to

give

emphasis

and

particularity

on

the

delegation of authority and responsibility. Liezyl’s Sabon Factory Outlet and Laundry Shop organization will be on a line type of structure.

Centralization of operation and

decision making will be observed though the business has two divisions considering the size of business itself and the simplicity of the organizational structure.

The owner, as also the manager, will be

seeing through the management and over-all operation of the business. The store custodian will handle the selling operations of the products as the laundry shop operator will take care of the laundry services. Their responsibilities extend to the custody of the assets within their division. A liaison employee will be hired for the entire business.

His

responsibility is on assisting the laundry shop operator in its daily operation.

He will also be taking care of the deliveries of products

from the supplier to the store.

A single liaison employee will be

hired with the thought that some store deliveries will not be often done as the assisting in the laundry shop.

And so it is reasonably

expected that he will be able to meet his responsibilities in both divisions.

Good relationships of the divisions as well as their respective personnel should be developed.

This is to initiate congruencies so as

to signify the duties and responsibilities of each person making up the whole organization.

The

manager /owner has the power of supervision, direction and evaluation on the work of his subordinates.

operator will share authority over the liaison employee.

CHAPTER VII Social Desirability Aspect

The establishment of Liezyl’s Sabon Factory Outlet and Laundry Shop

in

Lavezares,

N.

Samar

will

be

beneficial

not

only

to

the

proprietor, but also to the community. The gains that each sector of the

society

can

obtain

from

the

business

operation

are

stated

as

follows:

To the Client: The primary objective of this undertaking is the profit that the owner will derive from its operations. Offering quality personal care, home/building care, and car care products at a low price can induce more customers to buy these products; thus, generating more income. On the other side, the proposed laundry shop will also contribute to the overall profit of the business. Plus, the fact that there is still no existing business in town that provides the same services that it offers such as washing, drying, and ironing clothes will make customers who seek these kinds of services go directly to Liezyl’s Laundry Shop. To the Household and Environment: The low price of the products that the business will offer will generate

more

savings

to

its

customers

than

if

they

choose

to

patronize other brands with equal quality but of a higher cost. These are designed to maintain good personal hygiene and cleanliness of the surroundings and personal belongings; thus, providing a more healthy environment.

The laundry shop will ease the lifestyle of the members of this sector as it will lessen the burden of doing the laundries every now and then.

To the Unemployed Individuals: Liezyl’s Sabon Factory Outlet and Laundry Shop at its inception will need experts and laborers for the design and construction of the building which serve as the venue of its operations. Subsequently, it will also hire some personnel who will operate the business. On the whole,

the

establishment

of

this

business

will

create

employment

opportunities for this sector.

To the Supplier: Since Liezyl’s Sabon Factory Outlet and Laundry shop has a fixed supplier of the goods that it will sell, all the inventory demands of the business will go to it. Thus, creating additional sales on the part of the supplier.

To the Government and the Public The right of the business to earn income from its operations has its corresponding duty and responsibility of paying its taxes and licenses which will provide the government additional fund for the provision of services to the public.
