The entrepreneur must also set standard operating procedures (SOPs) both in
manufacturing goods and rendering of services. These SOPs must be monitored to
validate compliance. The entrepreneur must also critically consider the effects of
these processes to the environment and to the public.

I. Manufacturing of Goods (Schaper and Volery, 2004)
The entrepreneur who will engage in producing his or her own products will have
to consider the basic guidelines and principles in manufacturing. Manufacturing is
the process of translating raw materials into finished goods that are acceptable to
the customer’s standards. It consists of three elements:
Output – the final product of the process stage, which is intended to be sold to
target customers

The entrepreneur must also consider the efficient manufacturing site in which the
manufacturing process will take place. Depending on the entrepreneur’s objective
and financial capacity, he or she can opt to have any of the following manufacturing
sites:
Commercial space for rent – this is advisable if the business really requires a
commercial space for processing of goods and if the home option is not viable
6
anymore. A commercial space gives the entrepreneur a more specialized and
suited manufacturing site than manufacturing at home.
The internal layout or the floor plan of the manufacturing site must also be
critically done by the entrepreneur because it affects the efficiency of the business
operation. Each space should be maximized to save on manufacturing costs
(specifically overhead costs). An efficient floor plan illustrates how raw materials and
finished goods can efficiently be transferred, processed, and released from one
processing unit to another. There are two options for the floor plan: (1) the product-
based layout where the facilities, are prearranged according to the flow_ of the
manufacturing operations, and (2) the process-based layout, where the facilities are
prearranged. The entrepreneur must prepare a manufacturing process flow, which
serves as a step-by-step guide of the employees and the manufacturing equipment.

Manpower
Manpower is one of the highest costs of operating a business but is also the
most instrumental to its success. Having the right people encompasses a myriad of
advantages.

II. Employee Qualification
In hiring suitable employees for the job needed, entrepreneurs will have to look
for the following criteria:
4. Work attitude - This deals with the worker's integrity and how he or she deals
with his or her coworkers, bosses, and customers. Entrepreneurs also need
people with relationship skills because communication is important in
applying their expertise.
Here are some common questions being asked in an interview. However, it will
be up to the entrepreneur or the HR personnel to ask relevant questions to the
interviewee.
1. What are your strengths that you can contribute to our organization?
2. What are your weaknesses that can prevent you from working effectively in
our organization?
3. What exactly did you do in your previous job(s)? How will these past
experiences contribute to our organization?
4. What were your significant milestones in your previous job(s), and why do you
consider them as such?
5. Can you discuss the things you know about our organization? Why are you
interested to join our organization?
6. What are your career plans for the next five years if given the chance to work
with our organization?
7. Can you describe your work ethic? How do you work with a team and with
your superior?
11
IV. Job Offer
Once the entrepreneur or the hiring manager has been convinced already of
the credentials and the interview answers of the candidate, the job contract is now
prepared. A job contract generally summarizes the terms and conditions of the
candidate's employment with the business. It usually includes the following details:
(1) rank or position of the candidate, (2) a list of responsibilities or deliverables and
its scope and limitations, (3) the salary and benefits including vacation and sick
leaves, and qualifications to become (4) work schedule, (5) probationary period if any
a regular employee, (6) the duration of the contract, and (7) resignation procedure
(e.g., 30-day notice or leave immediately.

Machines
Machines are not only limited to physical equipment but can also pertain to
new technologies that help business operations become standardized and seamless.
Without machines, business operations will be cumbersome, costly, and with low
quality.
Depending on the product that the entrepreneur produces or the service that
he or she offers, the facilities must be strategically placed in the manufacturing site
or in the service delivery area. The entrepreneur must prepare a facility plan that
details the most economical way to manufacture the product or offer the service by
placing the facilities where they can be efficiently used.
The sizes and shapes of the facilities and equipment affect the entire
operations process, so the site must adapt to how big or small the pieces of
equipment are. The site must also be conducive, well-ventilated, and well-lit, so that
the employees can manage the machines efficiently. There should be fire exits and
safety reminders on how to use the facilities to ensure safety of the employees. The
equipment to be used should all be compliant with safety ensure safety requirements
to prevent accidents.

Materials
Whether the entrepreneur will offer products or cater services, he or she has
to pinpoint a number of dependable suppliers of quality raw materials and supplies.
The supplier must have a consistent and sufficient amount of raw materials and
supplies that can accommodate the demand of the entrepreneur. In short, the
selection of suppliers depends largely on how the suppliers will not cause
interruptions in the production of goods or serving the customers. From the onset,
the entrepreneur should decide on what route to choose when it comes to materials
requisitioning. Options include the following:
