BUSINESS IDEA 1(POPCORN PRODUCTION)

-


PRODUCTION OF POPCORN 

Popcorn is a type of corn which when heated explodes into bigger fluffy masses.
Although popcorn is not used as food, it has become very important for use as snacks
especially by children in primary and secondary schools nationwide. Although firm
market data for it is unavailable, what is seen in the various popcorn locations nationwide
suggests that the demand is on the high side and stable too. To enjoy synergy, we suggest
that popcorn business be combined with ice cream production.


TECHNICAL PRODUCTION
The business under consideration is a small-scale plant dedicated to the commercial
production of popcorn. Although there are various popping machines in the market:
manually driven popping machine, semi auto popping machines and continuous popping
machine.
The machine required (the popcorn machine) for the production of popcorn is a rugged
continuous popper. The popper has a popping bowl, which is heated by electricity and
connected to a relay switch. Working on a single shift of 8 hours, the machine can pop 1
ton of popcorn on a continuous basis. On three shifts of 8 hours each per day, a total
output of 3 tons is assured but actual production in this write – up is based on a
production of 1 ton per shift of 8 hours for 300 days in a year.

HOW TO PRODUCE 
Vegetable oil is sprinkled on the popcorn to be popped and the corn is fed via funnel into
the popping bowl in the popping machine. Sugar or salt may be added depending on the
type of popcorn that will be produced.
Heat is transferred to the popping bowl through a switch-regulated cylinder. The popping
is continuous and stickiness is prevented by a rotary spindle that rotates within the
popping bowl in a clockwise and anti-clockwise direction. This is controlled by a switch.
The popped corn is collected in the chamber from where it is packed and sealed ready for
the market.

Most people set goals at the start of the year—big, exciting dreams like lose 20 pounds , start a business , or save more money . But here’s the hard truth: Goals alone don’t create results—systems do. Jim Rohn, one of the greatest motivational teachers of all time, often said: "Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day." It’s not the goal that changes your life—it’s the daily discipline behind it. Goals vs. Systems: What’s the Difference? Goals are outcomes. They tell you what you want. Example: Run a marathon in 6 months. Systems are processes. They tell you how you’ll get there. Example: Run 5 km every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and increase by 1 km each week.       Why Systems Beat Goals Goals Have an End Point, Systems Create Continuity Once you hit a goal, you often stop. Systems keep you improving for life. Goals Rely on Motivation, Systems Build Habits Motivation fades; habits run on autopilot. Goals Ca...
