 METHOD
- refers to the system and step-by-step process in
the business. Without a scalable process, it would
be difficult to expand the business. This means that
the methods used in the main branch must be
documented and must be replicated as well in
other branches. If it is difficult to implement at
another site, find what needs to be improved.
 Manpower
- talks about the human labor force involved
in the manufacture of products. It is
measured as the most serious and main
factor of production. The entrepreneur must
determine, attain, and match the most
competent and skilled employees with the
jobs at the most appropriate time period.
Materials
- management also contributes to customer
satisfaction and the overall success of the
company. In many ways, it acts as the
backbone of the manufacturing process. It is
the cause or cure of, many critical
production issues.
 Machines
- discusses manufacturing equipment with in the production
of goods or delivery of services. In the process of selecting
the type of equipment to purchase, the entrepreneur may
consider the types of products to be produced, production
system to be adopted, cost of the equipment, the capacity
of the equipment, availability of spare parts in the local
market, efficiency of the equipment and the skills required
in running the equipment.
A PRODUCT DESCRIPTION is the marketing copy that
explains what a product is and why it's worth
purchasing. The purpose of a product description is
to supply customers with important information
about the features and key benefits of the product so
they're compelled to buy.

A PROTOTYPE is an early sample, model, or release of
a product built to test a concept or process or to act as
a thing to be replicated or learned from. It is a term
used in a variety of contexts, including semantics,
design, electronics, and software programming.
Prototyping is an essential step in the
development of a product, be it digital or
physical. The process converts the idea into a
concept that has a physical structure. This
concept can be presented to stakeholders or
audiences to test its viability and validate
assumptions.
In simple terms, a prototype isn’t just a part of the product
design, it is one of the most integral parts to

know if the ideated product is viable for mass production,

Give the essence of the product to the stakeholders and
investors before the actual product is developed.

Prototyping
is a vital course of action without which future steps of
the start-up process are nothing but useless.
Importance Of A Prototype

A prototype is the preliminary version of the

actual product to be developed to:

•Validate the design of the product,

•Present to investors or licensees,

•Protect the intellectual property

•Remove kinks in manufacturing,

•Test and refine the final product.
