FACTORY OPERATING PLAN


A typical sachet-water factory setting consists of a storage system (tanks), a conveyance
system (piping), a decentralized water treatment system (filters, UV disinfection units), and a
packaging system. The sachet water production follows this same order. The packaging is
done by making use of automatic liquid filling and packaging machines, also commercially
know as automatic liquid packaging machines, form, fill and seal machines, form, fill,
seal, vertical (flow) sachet machines or simply sachet machines.

Computation of cost of printing polythene bags used in sachet-water production


One roll of polythene weighs 13.8kg, including 1kg of an inner support the polythene is
rolled on. The weight of the polythene alone is thus 12.8 kg. The cost of printing 2 colours on
the polythene is approximately

******SOME TEXT

MISSING******
.

One roll of polythene (12.8kg polythene) is able to produce *** bags of sachets, with 20

.co

individual sachets per bag. This is therefore equivalent to *** individual sachets per kg.

The equivalent cost a printed polythene bag for one individual sachet is thus N *** per

AN

individual sachet.

RA

These bags may be printed outside the State, so additional costs for transportation may apply.

Since the sachets were packaged in bigger bags of 20 individual sachets, the cost of the

NA
I

bigger bag is factored into the N *** for individual printed bags calculated above. The
packaging bags cost N *** per 100 bags. This amounted to N *** per bag, and is equivalent

w.

to N *** per individual sachet. Hence, the total packaging cost per individual sachet was thus

ww

calculated as N ***. The total amount required per month for packaging material is therefore
N *** for the production of *** sachets per month (*** individual sachets per day).

SATCHET WATER PLAN (Designed By NAIRAMAN 2011)

The number of sachets produced by factory should vary from approximately *** sachets per
day (*** litres/day) during the rainy and cold seasons to approximately twice as much (***
sachets or *** litres/day) during the dry and hot seasons. The quantities is summarised in the
table below:

Each bag of pure water sachet goes for as low as N 50. So if we are to use the rainy season
numbers to estimate the expected sales amount, the calculation will be as follows:

w.

Number of bags sold daily=***

ww

Cost per bag = N 50

Total Daily Sales = N 50 X *** bags

Total Monthly Sales = N *** X 26 days
