COMPUTER HARDWARE MAINTENANCE & NETWORKING SERVICE SERVICE CAPACITY (Value) : Rs. 18,00,000/- MONTH AND YEAR : July, 2014 OF PREPARATION PREPARED BY : Dr. Amarnath Assistant Director (Metallurgy) 1. INTRODUCTION Computers are widely used these days in office automation, business/trade, industries, hospitals, hotels and other transport type of services. Computer hardware consists of Processors, Motherboard, Memory, Peripheral Controllers and interfaces, Pen Drives, and Hard Disks. The peripherals consist of Keyboard, Monitor, Printer, Modem, Mouse etc and connected to main CPU through cables and interfaces. Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) are used to power the computer for different voltage: +5V, -5V, +12V and -12V. The SMPS is housed in the cabinet. The monitor and Printer have their own power supply units. 2. MARKET POTENTIAL The market for computer is expanding day by day to due to rapid computerization of offices for accounts, inventory, sales, correspondence and communications in all walks of life. The demand for computer continues to grow. Even though there are big competition in computer assembling the servicing of computers and providing quality networking services are in very poor shape even in metros. The small manufacturers have to compensate this tough competition with their better quality services. Government as well as private offices need dedicated team of expert to service as well network their whole functioning on service contract basis in most reliable fashion. This project serves this gray area of activity. 3. BASIS AND PRESUMPTIONS This project is made on the basis of the following presumptions: i. It is assumed that the unit will be viable at 75% efficiency on single shift basis considering 5 working days or as per demand of area per week. ii. The rate of interest in the scheme is taken at 11.5 % for both fixed and working capital. Due to liberalization and competition among banks, lower rate of interest is possible in future. -35-
iii. iv. The prices of machinery and equipments are approximate which are ruling locally at the time of preparation of the project. When a tailor-cut project is prepared the necessary changes are to be made at the local level. The cost of staff and labor is approximate which is ruling locally at the time of preparation of the profile. When a tailor-cut project is prepared the necessary changes are to be made. 4. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE The project can be implemented in a period of 3 to 6 months by performing the various activities in a systematic manner and simultaneous application of various common activities as mentioned below: Preparation of project reports Essential registration if required Selection of site Arrangement of finance/loans Arrangement of rented accommodation Machinery & equipment procurement Recruitment of staff & labour Installation of machinery Trial Operation Commercial Operation 5. TECHNICAL ASPECTS 1 st month 1 st month 1 st to 2 nd month 3 rd to 4 th month 1 st to 2 nd month 3 rd to 5 th month 5 th month 5 th month 5 th to 6 th month 6 th month 5.1. Process Outline The maintenance of computer involves various skills like assembly of electronics and electrochemical sub-assemblies, peripherals and integrating them into a computer unit. In present market scenario it will be difficult to face competition from big names. Mostly the project model involves earning through servicing; however few computers will be assembled too to supply to the trusted customers. As per design the motherboard, and display device will procured as per demand. The other sub-assemblies like hard disk, CD drive, cabinets, SMPS etc will be readily available. For assembly of PC the motherboard along with other subassemblies are mounted in cabinet and interconnected before testing for various performances with help of dedicated software. 5.2. Service Capacity Quantity: 24 new PC + revenue through service charges Estimated revenue earned per year: Rs.18,00,000/- 5.3. Motive Power Total requirement is about 5 kva. -36-
5.4. Pollution Control Good housekeeping will be maintained to avoid pollution in and around area. 5.5. Energy Conservation Measures to be adopted for conserving energy are adoption of energy conserving technologies, timely switching on-off of the lights, use of compacts fluorescence lamps (CFL) wherever possible and best use of electrical appliances etc to assure optimum energy consumption in the unit. 6.
