CHAPTER 1 DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINES
1.1 A business concept
Zimbabwe imports tonnes of activated carbon per year. It has, however, been handicapped by financial concerns. No company in the nation presently produces activated carbon. Purification, deodorization, and medical therapy are all possible with activated carbon. However, the capital city of Harare now produces 620 megalitres of water at full capacity, but only 400 million due to a chemical deficit. A 220-liter water shortage has ensued, causing many to forage for water. The food and beverage industry, as well as the pharmaceutical industry, have restricted output due to a scarcity of this molecule. Agriculture will grow by 12.5 percent and manufacturing will grow by 4.0 percent by 2018, according to the Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socioeconomic Transformation (ZIM ASSET). The infrastructure and utility cluster at ZIM-ASSET is working on projects to improve urban water supply and sanitation. As a consequence, activated carbon will be in higher demand.
Our company is called C-Active Industries. It is a new company, with a planned launch date of July 1, 2014. We’ll create activated carbon, which is used in the purification, deodorization, and treatment of medicines.
1.2 Perception
To become a worldwide leader in activated carbon production and to leave a planet that is sustainable for future generations.
1.3 Statement of purpose
To provide the highest quality activated carbon as well as a diverse selection of products at the most competitive prices.
1.4 The Goals
1. Encourage a successful and long-term commercial activity that meets customer needs.
2. Increase the company’s market share by 5% in the first five years of operation.
3. gain an edge in the market
4. In order to boost the company’s social responsibility stance.
5. To provide excellent customer service and goods.
1.5 Points
- Individuals (customers, shareholders, partners ,and employees)
- Integrity
- Honesty, innovation, and philanthropy
- Self-criticism that is constructive
- Self-improvement on a continuous basis
- Environment \sProfessionalism
1.6 Available goods and services
Activated carbon is made from organic resources such as nutshells, peat, wood, sugarcane bagasse, petroleum pitch, and charcoal. At 600 to 900 degrees Celsius, the raw material is crushed to the necessary size and heated in a chamber where oxygen is removed and replaced with an inert gas such as argon. Before being screened, it is allowed to cool to eliminate any undesired constituents from the raw materials. The finished product is completely formed of carbon and has a granular, porous appearance. Activated carbon is produced and then treated in a number of methods for different applications. It may either be crushed into a fine powder or sieved into various grain sizes. After being mixed with a binding agent, activated carbon may be extruded into blocks or other shapes. It may be impregnated with different compounds, polymer-coated, or woven into textile threads. Deodorization, purification (of fluids, filtration of water, and gases in sensitive situations such as museums and during chemical manufacture), and medical treatment are all possible applications.
1.7 Description of the Industry
Activated carbon manufacturing is a new area in Zimbabwe that has yet to be explored. Because it is a green enterprise, the company has no competition. Because the nation now imports all of its activated carbon, it has a broad range of potential, and the ZIM-ASSET objectives by 2018 will increase demand.
