More cost effective then any other method of plywood Shaping.

  Chart of Greenply 

 For the above chart it is shown that 10% people are know Greenply is wood, 50% people are know it is plywood & 40% people it is plyboard. Greenply used every here because it is water proof plywood. Is the leader in plywood and laminate industry in India.

Compare of the price

 Greenply

higher than the local price.very high. Greenply price is 100tk Suparply is 60tk & Partex price is 65tk. Greenply price is very high.

 Use of Greenply

Only for 30% eople are used Greenply, about 70% people are not used the Greenply because its price is very high and there are many people are not know the Greenply.

   Quality of Greenply

Green ply quality is good, it is water proof plywood. 70% people are said its quality is very good, 15% peoples comment it is bad and 15% peoples are said no comments.

Greenply products are superior to other products because of the species of the timber used.

    Comparison

 Case study

Further Cost Reduction

•        Experimentally it has been established that a 09 mm thick plywood of Greenply has technical properties more than that of 12 mm  plywood.

–        Recommendations

• 16 mm Instead of                    18 mm
• 09 mm Instead of                    12 mm

         Calculate timber requirement in 18 mm 8’x4’ plywood:

• 96 inch x 48 inch x ¾ inch/ 12x12x12 (cft)
• = 2 Cubic Feet.

•       Rate of timber       Say      1050 per CFT
• Production loss                       20%*

–        Logs are not in uniform thickness and length

–        They may not be straight always

–        They may have knots in it

–        Can not be cut in eight ft length always.

–        May have cracks and be hollow too.

• Compression loss        10%*

       Add 30% loss on cost i.e. 1050+30%=1365 PER CFT

–          Cost of timber 2CFT x 1365 = 2730

The cost of the timber is greater than the plywood which is being sold claiming 100% Gurjan

    Findings

•  There are many plywood company in our country but our local ply is not water proof
• Plywood condition of Bangladesh is not satisfactory
• Lack of government initiative.
• Greenply price is not low it higher than the local products.
• The management is not concerned about the cost effectiveness.where as the other player in the market are cost effective and they are gaining more profit

Swot Analysis

     Strength:

• Greenply 100% water proof ply
• Greenply made by gurjan wood
• Greenply available in Bangladesh market
• Both side sanding with smooth finishing
• It retards the amount of burning and thus decreases the heat released by the surrounding predicts.
• The high density of the raw material in Green Defender plywood slows down the ignitability and flame spread.

Weakness:

• Most of the people of Bangladesh do not know the Greenply
• Greenply price higher then the local product.
• Greenply made by only for Gurjon.

Opportunities:

Quality of Greenply is very good. It is 100% water proof ply. Plywood use apartment interior kitchen cabinet, etc. greenply use in this position. Only for Greenply use shattering . Green Flexiply is less expensive than per-made wood forms.

Significant savings of time, less labour intensive and more cost effective than any other

Method of plywood shaping.

    Threats:

• the other cheaper water proof ply are available in market.
• Contractor does not use Greenply because they do not get benefit.
• Greenply price is very high.

Recommendation

• A lot of advertisement will be published.
• The quality of Greenply is understood with contractors
• The quality of Greenply is informed to engineer.
• It should be encouraged to the dealer the best sale of Greenply.
• Company should organized about the quality of Greenply.

Conclusion

 Fair Deal is the only importer of the Greenply. Fair Deal is the part of

Surovi Agro Industries Limited. The future of Greenply in Bangladesh is bright because

It is water proof ply. The ply is not dislocated for this it can bring a lot of wait.

So it is use every where in apartment. According to me the price of Greenply should be low price so that it is use in where in Bangladesh, as a result the ply will sale more and the company will earn more profit the future market of Greenply is bright.
