reside. The area measures 35 square meter with a reasonable rental fee is Php

building.

Promotion

UR L♥VANDERA will provide superb quality of service in terms of


cleanliness and freshness of our customer’s clothes with affordable price. The
company will use effective ways to capture customers’ attention and response. But
we believe that the best method of advertising is through word-of-mouth but will
also use fliers and tarpaulins in promoting the company and its services. At the
opening of the laundry shop, first twenty customers will be given a 25% off laundry
service. This is one of our strategies to bring customers back to our business and
build customer base. We have also plans in place to offer once in a while
complimentary services such as “Libreng Laba sa Isang Dosena” and also to
reward our loyal customers especially when they refer clients to us.

IV. Demand Forecasting

Years ago, we can only see laundry shops in the main streets of major
cities in the Philippines. Now, however, these establishments have sprouted left
and right, and it seems that many of them are now prospering. The growing
number of Filipinos opting to live temporarily or for some, almost permanently in
dormitories and boarding houses in urban places where there can find high-paying
jobs compared to the province; with the lack of space to hang and dry their clothes;
with the shift of modern women from plain housewife to career women, and with
our busy lifestyle, more and more people are using the services of a laundry shop
to clean their clothes. With these changes, a laundry shop is now one of the most
stable businesses to own.
The location is the most crucial factor in the success of this business. For
UR L♥VANDERA, we opt to place it to one of the most populous barangay in
Carmona, Cavite. A more detailed discussion on our chosen location will be
discussed in Section V of this paper.

DEMAND
The target market mostly composed of the residents of Woodland Hills and
adjacent dormitories and boarding houses within the 500-meter radius. We will be
using the following assumptions in coming up with estimated demand for the next
five years.
a. Percent growth rate of population = 4.5% (average growth from year
2001 to 2011)
b. Percent of available demand tapped for the first year = 20% of total
demand.

Number of households Share

c. Ratio of WDF (Wash-Dry-Press) to WDP (Wash-Dry-Press) in total
sales = 85:15
d. Order quantity per laundry service = 10kg
e. Number of times a particular household acquires a laundry service in
a month = 2 times.

Below are the monthly demand and its equivalent sales for year one:

V. Location Planning

Figure 5.1 The Laundry shop is along Governor’s Drive in Carmona, Cavite.

business. UR L♥VANDERA Laundry shop will be located strategically inside RD
Plaza, a commercial building located at Governor’s Drive, Bo. Bancal Carmona,
Cavite. We chose this location because it is accessible and has considerable
population concentration.

VI. Process Design
For more efficient way of doing our laundry services it is essentially
important that a decent process is in place. This is our way of showing our customer
that they could trust and count on our exceptional services. We have set a standard
procedure for our normal laundry and dry cleaning services .

A. NORMAL LAUNDRY WORK METHOD

1. Receiving / Claiming
This includes the welcome of customer, weighing of items and Job Order
processing.

2. Sorting
The process of separating clothes under the following categories:

Pile 1: WHITES- Items that can be washes in a long wash cycle and full spin
with hot water and bleach. Such as socks. Cotton shirt, face cloths, towels and
sheets.

Pile 2: LIGHT COLORS – Warm or cold wash cycle, for shirts, tops and
bottoms.

Pile 3: DARK COLOR – Maybe washed in warm or cold water. Items like
jeans, top, and bottoms maybe washed on a long cycle with full spin.
Permanent press trousers and dark t-shirts should be washed of shorter wash
cycle with low spin. To reduce the possibilities of wrinkles.

Pile 4: RED or BRIGHT COLORS – colors that well known for bleeding and
fading on other fabric. These should be washed separately.

Business Plan: UR L♥VANDERA Laundry Shop 23


Pile 5: TOWELS – These are lint producers and they give off sticks to other
types of clothing. Wash with blankets, sheets and robes as long as they are
colorfast.

Pile 6: BULKY or FILTHY – Big and incredibly dirty items should be washed
separately. These are items that often need heavy duty wash cycle and
stronger dose of detergent than a regular load. Include throw rugs, socks and
maintenance work uniforms.

3. Tagging / Spotting

Tagging refers to putting identification to the item; this is done when mixing
clothes with other customers.
Spotting refers to stain confinement and removal process. The process
involves in identification and classification of Stains. There are five Stain
categories:

• Protein
o Example; egg blood, mucus, urine, cheese, milk, and baby
formula.
o DO NOT USE HOT WATER in washing
o SOAKING IN COLD WATER is necessary with heavy duty
detergent or may need bleach product to remove it.
• Tannin

warm/hot water.
• Combination Stains
o These require two steps to remove them. It is
recommended to use dry cleaning solvent then use a

removed.

4. Soaking
Only stained cloths/items need to undergo this process. This may take 2-3
hours clothes treatment and sometimes overnight for heavily soiled items.

5. Washing

D. DRY CLEANING PROCESS

E. LAUNDRY DETERGENTS & CHEMICALS

• Detergent is a substance made of chemical compounds that aid in


cleaning; available in both granule and liquid forms. But we opt to use
liquid to ensure the quality of our cleaning result.
• Bleach is and additive aids in the removal of soil and stains. It also
helps to whiten and brighten the pile of white clothes.
• Fabric Softener is is use in the final rinse stage of the wash and dryer.
These make fabric feels softer, this also helps to lessen the static clin,
reduce wrinkling and reduce drying time slightly.

F. RELATIONSHIP OF WATER TEMPERATURE IN ACHIEVING A GOOD WASH

• When to use Hot Water?

For most clothing the hotter the water, the cleaner the clothing will be.
Most lines, and white clothing are washed in hot water to remove
germs and heavy soil. However, many of our clothes wont come out

Business Plan: UR L♥VANDERA Laundry Shop 32


looking very nice if they were washed into hot water. Note that hot
water tends to make some clothing shrink, wrinkle and fade.

• When to Use Warm Water?

Majority of laundry was washed with warm water. It is usually the best
choice for permanent press and jeans. It allows good cleaning action
without as much fading, wrinkling and shrinking.

• When to Use Cold Water?

Usually used for delicate items, or items with instructions to be wahed


in cold water.

Table 7.1 shows that pressing is the bottleneck process. In this case, UR
L♥VANDERA will outsource the presser. The work schedule of the presser will
work five hours a day with an output of 30~35kgs daily. This output will cater
the 15% allocation for Wash-Dry-Press (WDP) service.

NOTE:
For second year’s gap, UR L♥VANDERA plans to extend its weekly working
schedule.

In three-year term, future plan is to set-up additional washing and drying


machine.
Target Date: 1st Quarter of 2018

UR L♥VANDERA considered the following determinants of effective capacity


in making their business plan.
1. Facilities
The design of UR L♥VANDERA facility has a provision for expansion. The
location of its building is accessible to its customers and have a good supply
of water and electricity. We also have a smooth work lay-out with proper
ventilation and illumination. Part of the contingency plan, UR L♥VANDERA

Business Plan: UR L♥VANDERA Laundry Shop 39


has standby generator set in case of power failure and water tank in case of
shortage on water supply.

2. Service Factors
The particular service rendered also must be considered since different items
will have different rates of output. In laundry business, there is a consideration
made in service mix. A percentage of service was defined between Wash-
Dry-Fold (WDF) and Wash-Dry-Press (WDP). 85% of its daily output/service
is for WDF while 15% is allotted to WDP.

3. Process Factors
UR L♥VANDERA believes that productivity affects capacity. With its tag-line of
“washing your clothes with tender love and care”, the quality assurance of its
service is the number one priority of the shop. We also set an internal control
to prevent the occurrence of possible service problems and will have regular
review of customer feedback.

4. Human Factors
Employee motivation has a very basic relationship to capacity. Prior to
deployment of its employee to the shop, we will be conducting orientation
related to service provision and good customer relationship/etiquette. We will
be posting visual criteria per station that will guide its employee during
process. We also have incentive program that will motivate our employees to
perform their job well.

5. Policy Factors
Management Policy can affect capacity by allowing or not allowing capacity
such as overtime and shifting schedule. But in UR L♥VANDERA, we treat our
employees as family. Employee has fixed schedule and are allowed to have a
one (1) hour break time and with overtime pay when overtime requires.

Business Plan: UR L♥VANDERA Laundry Shop 40


6. Operational Factors
UR L♥VANDERA will use POS system to control its inventory to avoid material
shortage. We also classified our materials accordingly and defined its stock
level. Employees are tasked to do the stock-taking activity before the start and
end of its service operations for proper monitoring.

7. Supply Chain Factors


Supply chain factors must also be taken into account in capacity planning.
Current suppliers of UR L♥VANDERA have the capability to support and handle
the increase and adjust in case of sudden decreased of demand.

8. External Factors
UR L♥VANDERA ensures the compliance to applicable legal and other
requirements including safety and environment. Adequate fire extinguishers are
placed inside the shop while all its wastes and scraps will be sold to registered
junk shop or scrap buyer.

Business Plan: UR L♥VANDERA Laundry Shop 41


VIII. Facilities Layout
The facilities layout of UR L♥VANDERA’s shop is designed for efficiency and
flexibility. It is premeditated for the smooth movement of the process flow of the
laundry shop, which makes it easier on handling the materials and output needs to
avoid bottlenecks and minimize machine interference. The space is highly utilized
to ensure as much vertical space as possible.

FLOOR AREA
The floor area measures 35 sq. m. which is considered for adjustments
and future expansions. It utilizes the space for Waiting, Reception, and
Operation Area.

OPERATION AREA
The size for the operating process of the laundry shop is 22 sq. m. The
floor in the work area will be tiled for easy cleaning and can accommodate
wet works. The water supply and drainage will be connected through
centralized pipes to avoid messy workplace.

WAITING AREA
The waiting area has a sofa for the convenience of the customers
while waiting. It also has a TV which can lessen the feeling of boredom. The
TV will also show the advertisements of UR L♥VANDERA for additional
information on the services and promos to the customers.

INTERIOR
The color for the walls will be light colored which in some studies
indicate that it has an impact on productivity and employee morale. Interior will
come with attractive designs and relaxed ambiance mainly on the waiting area
which can influence the degree of attractiveness for promotional value on
customers as well as employees.

Business Plan: UR L♥VANDERA Laundry Shop 42


SAFETY AND PROTECTION
The shop has a fire extinguisher at the Operation Area in case of any
machine failures. In addition, the commercial building where the laundry shop
is proposed to be placed is equipped with fire protection system and fire alarm
detection and suppression. Fire exits and evacuation plans are also provided
in the premises. Overall, the building is in compliance with green architecture
and building code.

X. Inventory Management & Aggregate Planning & Materials Requirements
Planning

INVENTORY SYSTEM

UR L♥VANDERA will be using a POS system to monitor inventories for our


inputs and packaging materials. It records each sale and links it to inventory
records to ensure no stock outs and too much inventory. It acts as system that
keeps track of removals from inventory continuously, thus monitoring current levels
of each item.
POS System - Point of sales systems are checkout locations in business
operations where transactions occur. The checkout location is a point of sale or
POS terminal, which is just a computer used as a cash register. Point of sales
terminals and systems make perpetual inventory control systems possible.

Figure 10.1 POS System

Business Plan: UR L♥VANDERA Laundry Shop 55


Figure 10.2 Setting up the data for POS inventory management:

On the Data tab import the excel file containing inventory to be loaded to the POS
system.

INVENTORY CLASS

We have classified our inventories into three types:


• Class A – with Safety stocks, Physical count of inventories performed
daily by the end of the day, and Alternative Supplier is a must.
• Class B –with Safety stocks, Physical count of inventories performed
weekly, and Alternative supplier is not necessary.
• Class C – No Safety stocks, Physical count of inventories done only
when needed, and Alternative Suppliers is not necessary.

Figure 10.3 Inventory Classification

Business Plan: UR L♥VANDERA Laundry Shop 56


Figure 10.4 Other Inventories

RE-ORDER POINT

When the quantity on hand of an item drops to this amount, the item is
reordered. UR L♥VANDERA projected lead time for liquid detergent is 3 days.
Meaning if the Liquid detergent level drops 3 days worth of inventory to support the
shop, then it is time to reorder supplies.

Business Plan: UR L♥VANDERA Laundry Shop 57


Figure 10.5 REORDER POINT CHART

ROP = d (Demand rate) x LT (lead time) + Safety Stock


= 1L/Day x 3 days + 3 L
=6L

INVENTORY MONITORING

We will be adapting a continiuous or perpetual inventory monitoring


system. Since we have our POS, it help us keep track the usage of our inventory
continiosly.

Sample screenshot for low inventory stock:


Once the inventory is below is below 6 L, incomming orders would prompt
the user that the inventory level is low. This would should trigger the user to
arrange orders for the detergents.
Blaine supplier is just 500 meters away from Luvandera, Blaine items have 3
days lead time. Since Luvandera is implementing a 3L safety stock level, UR

Business Plan: UR L♥VANDERA Laundry Shop 58


L♥VANDERA would order to Blaine at 6 L total inventory level as discussed in the
reorder point chart.

Figure 10.6 Monitoring of Low Inventory Stock

WIP Monitoring:
UR L♥VANDERA would implement zero wip policy. All job orders received
will be processed within the day. Low level of wip gives more flexibility in the
system which gives room for multi tasking.

Luv goods monitoring:


Luv goods is the term used for laundry that are already ready for pick up.
Once the Luv goods are ready for the pick up. Customer would be notified by text
that the items are ready for pick. Customer details are taken when the order is
received.

Business Plan: UR L♥VANDERA Laundry Shop 59


For items unclaimed for 30 days and above, it would be endorsed for donation to
Mango house children’s home incorporated in Silang, Cavite.

XI. Quality Control

Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) to Improve Service Quality


To ensure that all factors are considered in putting UR L♥VANDERA
business we use FMEA system for service industry to identify potential failures and
then built steps to counteract or at least minimize the risks from those failures.
Table 11.1 shows the critical items that should be observed per station or
process. Each item was analyzed by calculating the RPN (Risk Priority Number).
For this we evaluate each point, in terms of: (S) Severity, (O) Occurrence, and (D)
Detection. These indices are scored in a "1 to 5 range", where 1 is the lowest
value and 5 the highest. Scoring reference is shown in Table 2.
Table 3, shows the preventive measures for each potential problem before
our customer experienced it

I. Financial Statement

In this business, having the Php 2M capital, 50% of it will be used as start-up
business while the 50% will be allotted for the expansion in three-year term. With the
potential in the laundry business and management confidence, it is expected that the
revenue is 20% more in 1st year, 27% more in 2nd year and 29% more in 3rd year. It is
also noted that that monthly profit shown has already taken into account the return of
its capital in 3-years time. Thus, this financial statement shows a worthwhile
investment.

to make it happen, the following are recommendations on this business:

a) Quality of Soap

chosen may be the advantage over competitors in the laundry business.
Some soap may cause itchiness or allergy to the clients while some
detergents may be too harsh on clothes, but definitely should not to Ur

and products because a good quality of detergent can be Ur
L♥VANDERA’s advantage over other laundry shops showing the superb
quality of the business.

business, a continued enjoyable and interesting promotion must be taken
place once in a while such as complimentary services and other reward
systems. After few months in operation of the business, a study of what
day is peak or non-peak is important to determine to where the promos
