2 THE BURGEONING 'SMOG' INTRODUCTION In China and some other part of Asia, Smog is always a very big and serious problem to these regions. The polluted air has already harshly affected peoples daily and personal health. We came out with a sophisticated air filter system to help the householders and firms who desire their employees and family members breathe among the fresh air to protect them against breathing in the harmful Inhalable particles in the polluted air. Therefore reduce the risk of respiratory system diseases. 3. BUSINESS SECTION 3.1 Vision Lower people' s risk of respiratory system diseases by proiving them a comfortable, healthy breathing evironment. 3.2 Industry Analysis: Air Filter industry Industry: Air Filter Industry which provide air filtation lower the Inhalable particles level in the air. Force: High/Low: Justification: Buyer power: High The Buyer power of this industry is high as the consumers have many options to choose. There are a lot of different type of air filting method for the customers desire to buy whether cheap or brands. Supplier power: Low The supplier power is low because there are plenty amount of firms which can produce the raw material of air filter systems. The businesses have many choices of supplier. Therefore the

3 supplier power of this industry is low. The business can purchase the required inventory with a fair price than a condition of high supplier power. Threat of new entrants: Low To create a set of perfect air filter system requires a very high level of technology support and a huge amount of investment to build factory or purchase machines. So it is very hard to 'set foot' in this industry. Threat of substitutes: Low The threat of subsitutes would be high if there are lots of products from different indutry that have same function as air filter, but is low as there are not many products like that. Obviously there are not many products that can filter air like an air filter. Rivalry among existing competitors: High The rivalry among exising competitors is high as the competition in this industry is very fierce. Many different type of air filter is in the market whether cheap or brand, home use or a central air-filtration for a business. Overall attractiveness of the industry: Overall the air filter industry is a pretty attractiveness industry as the smog is starting to be come a very serious air polltion problem to many developing countries. The market of this industry is very potential as there are a lot of new bulit factories which needs to install an air fliter system. Also people we live in a developing might desire a healthy breathing evironment in their home, so the households is another very potential customers to the industry. Therefore the air filter industry is a very attractiveness industry to a business.

All the new bulit factories or the factories that don't have a air filter system need one to reduce the harmful ingredient in its emissions whether it is for demand of law or personal desire. Now lots of people who live in a polluted contry wish to have a healthy environment for their children and family. Therefore many households started to install a air filter system in their home. 3.4 The Product and Service Our product is a sophisticated air filter system that can be install in the factories or power plants that emissions huge amount of pollutant into air every day. The main function of our product is to reduce the harmful ingredient in the emission. When the emissions flow though the air filtration system, the harmful ingredient would be intercept by the system. Therefore the emission finally flow out would be less polluted or harmful to people and environment which reduce the level of pollution. 3.5 Suppliers and Partners Our suppliers would be the businesses who produces metal, plastic, chemical agent which are the raw material of our product. Our partners would be the processing factories that can help us make the raw material like metal and plastic into the shape we want. Another supplier would be the logistic companies who provide us delivery service in order to send the product to the location of our customer. 3.6 Strategy: Focused High Cost Our strategu is Focuse High Cost as the cost of purchasing our product is very high. To install an air filteration system in a big factory or power plant would cost them million of dollars. Also because we only focus on reduce pollutant of large size factory and power plants, so our competitive scope is very narrow. The overall strategy is therefore Focused High Cost.

5 3.7 Value Chain Activity: Procurement The most important value chain activity for this business is Procurement Procurement is the most important value chain to our business as we are a business that manufacturing goods and selling it to our customers. The air filteration system is a very complicated system that require good quality of raw material to make its maximum its function, so it can meet the requirement and expectation of the customers. By purchasing and using the high quality raw material though precurement, we can produce the best air filteration system to our customers. By meeting customers' expectation, our reputation will increase therefore the popularity and profitability will increase. 3.8 Business Processes 3.8.1. PRODUCT DELIVERYING PROCESS- Delivery the product is a very important process as it is one of the step to finish the transaction.

3.10. 1. INVENTORY MANAGING SYSTEM - The inventory managing system will record all the requisition for either purchasing or selling inventories and calculate a ending balance of holding inventory at the end of a financial period.
