06.08 Justification

It has been observed that purchasing these types of machines from other countries are more expensive than those of locally made. This is because the cost of importing machines can be high and the country may have to pay tariffs or taxes. Additionally the countries do not have the same level of control over the quality of the machines. Finally the country is unable to customize the machines to meet its specific needs. This can make it difficult to use the machines efficiently or effectively. Introducing Thunyako can fill in this gap by providing locally made machine to the country and lower prices than those imported thereby demand will be high.

06.09 Analyse compétitive

We are surviving in the business world as machinery industry requires more than expertise, knowing how to sell quality machines to customer and also how to network with key people in machine industry in order to meet the targets of different customer on time.
