 STRENGHTS

Patna and Udaipur. Exporting only to Nepal currently.

and is also able to provide indirect employment too in

 WEAKNESSES

scattered, due to meeting of deadlines.

• Highly competitive industry.

• Margin of profit may get thin if the changes are not
met on time.

• Highly labour oriented which sometimes creates

situations of labour unrest, disobedience or laziness
towards quick completion of work.

• Sometimes the department gets chaotic with respect

to its work which reflects poor management and
there is a lack of proper time management too.
 CONCLUSION &
SUGGESTION
No industry is free from threats and weakness. However if we
take an overall view of this industry. It seems to be a fair
industry with bright future. Its growth also seems to be better
than satisfactory. If the government and the banking industry
come forward with liberal support to this industry its growth can
be further ensured. In addition, if power availability is ensured at
subsidized rates it can give better margins to the entrepreneur.
As a result of all the efforts and precautions, Arihant Plastics &
Laminations has been able to achieve breakeven level within
the 1st year it came into power which is unachievable for others
especially in such a small town. In the coming future it will be
able to break its self made record and earn a turnover of about
a crore.
