Business Plan
In five years, My goal is to create a sustainable manufacturing platform that scales up double every year in revenue at a 35% incremental annual growth rate through producing rapid on-demand body armor panels instead of bulk manufacturing. The current manufacturing methods vastly generate waste materials due to sequentially laid out manufacturing platforms. I am expanding the business operation towards advancement opportunities that include but are not limited to Vertical Integration in which enables us to reduce the warehousing costs and inventory. This approach enables us to have more control over our supply chain and agile manufacturing. Along with that route, having a solid partnership with Design institutions where we can expand our horizons towards consumers' lifestyles and market shifts. My ultimate goal is to be the most prolific body armor manufacturer in the United States of America. I have two master's degrees in Design and Manufacturing. I have a green belt Six-Sigma for lean-agile manufacturing, bringing more than six years of work experience in Automation and robotics for sewing industries and wearable technologies. Having those experiences along with my educational background enabled me to identify areas where performance could be improved without compromising on the revenue stream, empowered me to be a driver of change. I have invested more than $150,000 of my own saving in this business, I am a full-time (80 hours per week) employee who believes in teamwork and is truly a believer in an exponential business model.
