Global Operation Strategy
• So far, there’s NO order from other countries YET.
• Online shops NOT YET accomodating English
language.
• But, Internet, gives unlimited opportunities. The
time will come.

• Find alternative Konveksi that can give faster
response and capacity.

Started: December 2010Housewife + IT professional husband: Time and SkillOnline Shop low costStarted with bedsheet, growing to lines of productsBuy-to-order (blanket, long pillow) and Outsourcing (others)Service area: papua, borneo, celebes, sumatera, java, but Internet give borderless opportunityOperational: mostly by owners, sometimes helped with sewer and others for packaging
Produk:BedsheetBed CoverPillow and CoverPillow-BlanketWater gallon CoverRefrigerator Covermagic jar CoverTV CoverFood capCharacter blanketTable sheet
Sebagian besar adalah bayar minimal 50% lunas, baru di order ke konveksi dan setelah dilunasi lalu dikim.
Desain :1. sebagian sudah ada di pasar, tinggal modifikasi sedikit. Survey Pasar: googling, langsung ke pasar,Berdasarkan barang yang sering diminta konsumen2. Membuat sket draft bentuk, motif berdasarkan bahan yang digunakan. Pemilihan motif berdasarkan women sense Bentuk bisa juga biasa dibuat konveksi3. Konveksi akan membuat berdasarkan pesanan4. Waktu sarung galon: produksi 1 hari 5-10 set (galon, kulkas, magic com), seprei-taplak-cover tv 1 hari > 20, bed cover 1 hari 5-10 bed cover + sprei. Antrean: standar 3-5 hari selesai (termasuk produksi), kalau ramai bisa 7-10 hari (termasuk produksi).5. Bed cover dan sprei dapat plastik cover dari konveksi. Biasa dipakai untuk pengiriman6. QC: Ada proses membersihkan, kalau reject dikembalikan dan konveksi mengganti dengan membelikan bahan yang sama. Kadang konveksi tidak mau tahu, jika kondisinya seperti ini maka akan pesan ulang, atau barang tersebut dijual obral.Belum ada standar untuk QC, berdasarkan men sense. Dipisahkan dari produk yang bagus.7. packing: vakum (model busa seperti bantal, bed cover tebal bisa seukuran text-book namun lebar), dibungkus plastik motif gak tembus pandang warna-warni agar manis seperti ..., lalu di bawa ke ekspedisi. Kalau 1 orang pesan banyak, dibungkus ke 1 plastik saja yang bisa menampung. Prototyping: saat mencoba model cover TV, model awal ternyata agak kuno, diketahui setelah sample produk (prototype) jadi.ConsinyasiDesign by producerOwn productDesigned by ownerDifferentiate on material, using same material as bedsheetCottonCotton-Viscous (CVC)Prototyping? Untuk pemesanan dari konsumen, belum ada. Untuk tutup TV pernah buat sampling berdasarkan desain dari internet, ternyata model tidak cocok (jadul). Lalu dibuat desain sendiri. Begitu ada yang pesan ditawarkan desain baru tersebut, lalu dipesan ke konveksi.Product testing? Tidak ada.Market testing? Pada awal2, dilakukan soft launch untuk perkenalan, diskon untuk 1 bulanMake or buy decisionQuality, cost, and delivery scheduleMake: margin lebih tinggiBuy: selimut: belum tahu, demand belum terlalu tinggiProduct lifecycleAda beberapa motif untuk semua produk karena ada motif lain yang ditawarkan.Introduction: 1 bulanGrowth: 1-2 bulanMature: 1-2 bulanModel dikeluarkan tergantung model yang ada di pasar. Survey pasar tergantung pergerakan pasar.???Follow up-to-date trendMagazineTVInternet???Third party design
