ENTREPRENEURSHIP BUSINESS PLAN (1) Ru
The need for constant connectivity has increased at a time of rapid technological change. But
it can be confusing, in particular for elderly people who may have little knowledge of the
intricate digital interfaces on their phones. I proudly present "Senior Cell", a groundbreaking
solution that meets the unique needs of older people whilst ensuring an easy and enjoyable
mobile experience, recognizing this need for simplicity and availability.
As I unveil Senior Cell, I embark on a journey to redefine the way seniors interact with cell
phones. The purpose of our mission is to bridge the gap between cutting edge technology and
user-friendly design so that senior citizens can connect easily with loved ones, engage in
digital life on their own terms. I have carefully designed every part of Senior Cell in such a
way that our solution is functional and user friendly, taking into consideration the challenges
faced by elderly people.

PLANT LAYOUT:
PHYSICAL INFRASTRUCTURE:
o RAW MATERIALS
Metals
Silicon Wafer
Transistors
o LABOUR
Manufacturing industries require a mix of skilled and unskilled labour (they will be
given proper training before their recruitment)
utilities
Transport of the phones will be done through FEDEX courier and communication
with the customer will be done through the company website and email.
5
Used to heat and cool the wafer to activate dopants and repair crystal lattice
damage.
3. Lithography Equipment:
Advanced optical or EUV (Extreme Ultraviolet) lithography machines are
used for high-resolution patterning.
4. Metrology and Inspection Equipment:
These machines are used to measure and inspect the quality of the
semiconductor components.
5. Packaging and Testing Equipment:
Once the chips are fabricated, they need to be packaged and tested for quality
and functionality. This includes automated testing equipment.
6. Automation and Robotics:
Automated material handling systems and robotics are used extensively in
semiconductor manufacturing for wafer handling, equipment
loading/unloading, and quality control.
7. Environmental and Safety Systems:
Environmental control systems ensure a controlled atmosphere in the clean
room, while safety systems protect personnel and the facility.
8. Process Control and Monitoring Systems:
These systems help maintain consistent and precise manufacturing conditions.
o PRODUCTION PROCESS:
The production process for making an AI (Artificial Intelligence) chip, also known
as an AI accelerator or AI hardware, involves several stages. Here are the steps in
the production process:
The process begins with the design of the AI chip's architecture. This involves
defining the chip's functions, features, and specifications.
Logic Design:
Engineers create a detailed logical design of the chip.
Mask Creation:
A set of masks is created based on the logical design.
Wafer Manufacturing:
Silicon wafers are produced using a process called photolithography.
Wafer Testing:
6
The wafers are tested to identify any defects or faults. Defective wafers are
discarded, while the good ones proceed to the next steps.
Packaging:
The good wafers are cut into individual chips. These chips are then packaged into
protective casings, which can vary in size and shape depending on the intended
use.
Quality Control:
The final AI chips undergo extensive quality control checks to ensure they meet
the specified standards for reliability, power efficiency, and performance.

ORGANISATIONAL PLAN
An organisational plan is a plan that outlines the structure of a business and the roles and
responsibilities of its employees. It includes details about the hierarchy of the
organization, the functions of different departments and the reporting structure for
different positions. The organizational plan is used to ensure that the business is well-
organize and that everyone knows their role in achieving the company’s goal.
Quick Decision Making: - I am a single owner so I can take quick decisions and all things can
run faster in the business.
As a sole proprietor, I own and operate the business and am personally liable for all the
commercial transactions. In addition, the owner is personally liable for all liabilities incurred
by the business. As a sole owner, one can own the business for as long as you want and sell it
whenever you choose to.
It is a sole proprietorship business so all the authority is in the hands of a single owner, and
there are different forms of payment – a sole proprietor can use either a check or card and
cash payments.
PRODUCTION PLAN:
(Includes partial manufacturing)
A production plan is a plan that outlines the steps that a business will take to manufacture
a product. It includes details about the materials needed, the manufacturing process and
8
the timeline for production. It is used to ensure that a business can meet demand for its
products while maintaining quality and efficiency.
Partial manufacturing refers to a manufacturing process where some of the materials used
in the final product are produced by other manufacturers or suppliers. This approach can
be more cost effective than producing all the components by us, as it allows the
manufacturers to take advantage of economies of scale and specialized expertise.
The cell phones are purchased from supplier Tae Yung from Yung electronics manufacturers,
suppliers and exporters located in China.
The Cost and time involved with a subcontractor will depend on a variety of factors,
including the complexity of the work, volume of the work required, subcontractors’ expertise,
experience, and location. However, the cost of the work will depend on the specific terms of
the subcontractor agreement including the payment structure, any minimum other
requirement and additional fees or expenses.
