Starting his own business, an entrepreneur often has to deal with the organization of production.

The success of the whole business will largely depend on the properly established process of manufacturing goods.
It is necessary
- - production plan;
- - production area;
- - office;
- - qualified personnel;
- - sources of financing;

Instructions
Step 1
Start organizing a small production business by drawing up a business plan. This document should have a dedicated manufacturing section as standard. First of all, include in the plan information about the available and required production space. Indicate where exactly you intend to buy or rent premises, what is the cost of rent. Don't forget that production management will require an office space.
Step 2
Consider how much equipment, tooling and tools you need to run your business. If you already have equipment, consider purchasing new units in case of production expansion. Decide on suppliers and a range of prices that are acceptable to you. Include office equipment and communications in this section.
Step 3
Calculate the need for materials, raw materials and components. Work out the terms of their delivery, payment methods. Attach a list of potential suppliers to your production plan. If supplies are seasonal, also consider this to ensure continuity of production.
Step 4
It is impossible to establish production without qualified personnel. Make a detailed list of the specialties that production will require, including maintenance personnel and management. Contact the appropriate recruiting agency or local employment center for recruiting. Decide who will be in charge of evaluating, placing and training candidates.
Step 5
After making sure that you have taken into account the main production points, proceed to the phased implementation of the planned activities. As you do business, you will certainly have to make some changes to the plan. Be sure to adhere to the deadlines for the completion of individual items, otherwise you cannot avoid overlaps that will negatively affect the introduction of production into operation.
