6.0 OPERATION PLAN INTRODUCTION Operation is the vital element in a way to run the business. This kind of element is related to marketing, administrative, as well as financial plans and activities. Without the proper operation plan, an entrepreneur cannot run their business smoothly. It is because, the operation activities is about on how the entrepreneur will run their business. In our proposal, the operation activities begin from gaining the site of farm to plant the bananas, get the young banana trees, taking care of the banana from young until can produce the good fruits, and the process of selling the banana and other banana products to our customer. Without the operation plans, the entrepreneur will gain nothing and know nothing about what they try to deal with. That is why, the operation plan needs the proper plan to implement and need knowledge on how to deal with related business. For Bananas Enterprise, what we do is, we had planned the operation activities before we gain the farm to implement our business. We have to count on how we can get the site or farm, where is the suitable location, what types of soil that suitable to plant bananas, what sort of bananas need to be planted, what is the fertilizer to be used and how, and so on. In this part, all of the explanation regarding on banana plantation and the quotation of overall expenses in operation activities will be briefly explained.

6.2 CAPACITY PLANNING PREPARATION OF THE FARM The land is about 10 acres. In Hutan Melintang, our farm is located in Kampung Panglima, 36400 Hutan Melintang, Perak Darul Ridzuan. The plan for the whole farm is also provided. We choose Kampung Panglima as our farm because it is near to the bananas Tissue Kultur supplier, fertilizer, insecticides, and other material and equipment needed, the customers and clients are easy to get the bananas from us because the place of our farm is suitable for plant and it easy to locate.

6.7 PLANTATION OF THE BANANAS In this project, we plant banana for 7 acres in our farm. We get that Tissue Culture from the supplier near to our places. The reason why we choose bananas Tissues Culture is because it can stand more from diseases, insects and rodents, available and easy to obtain. The price also reasonable to purchased.

This picture below is the example of the bananas Tissue Culture.

After the farm had been ploughed, and cleaned, we have to wait until the off spring grass and weeds grow at the cleaned soil surface in our farm. It is important to get back natural nutrient from the soil and to have the balancing of nature surrounding. In about a week after that, our workers will start to dig a hole about 1 and half feet depth and width for each hole for each banana plant.

Pisang Berangan Pisang Tanduk The picture below shows how we will plant the banana in our farm.

1 block = 1.75 acres 1.75 acres = 1,050 trees

1,050 trees

1.75 acres

After we buy the banana plant, we dig holes for the plant, we will spread the insecticide to all over the farm to avoid insects and rodents harm the banana plants. Then, we will put the CIRP (Christmas Island Rock Phosphate) fertilizer for around 20-30 gram/hole, as it can help the roots of the plant to well growth.
87

Then, we will leave it for about two till three days before we can put the banana tissue Culture in the hole. After a week later, we will again give the fertilizer as well as give water to every plant. The total amount of every fertilizer will be different after six to seven months. The amount will increase depends on the needed of bananas tree. We used five types of fertilizer that are CIRP(Christmas Island Rock Phosphate) fertilizer, Compound fertilizer for trees growth, Compound fertilizer for encouraging banana to produce high quality of fruits, organic fertilizer, and supplement fertilizer. A month after the crop, the fertilizer should be given for every single plant of banana. The frequently the fertilizer is given, the more banana will get. But not too much in giving the plant the fertilizer because it will waste money and energy. After the tree producing its fruits, we will stop the fertilizer sources to them to encourage the fruits grow naturally and produce high quality of fruits. We will only give the insecticide at this stage.

WATER SYSTEM

Water system is also the important element in producing the best quality of banana fruits. In our farm, we have two pools and surrounding the farm we have made the ditch .It is to support and supply water to all the banana trees. Banana trees need until 8-12 litres of water every day. When the weather is too dry, they need much more water compare to usual weather.
89

In our farm, we will use two water spray machine which need human being to control and monitor the machine. The water spray machine will help to reduce time and energy as well as cost in supplying the water.

This picture below shows the growth of the banana trees from the start till it can produce fruits:

After three months planted in farm

After four month planted in farm

After about eight to nine month it produces banana flower.

After ten to eleven month waiting for its maturity. After nine month before harvested

CUTTING THE SUCKER OF THE BANANA Cutting the sucker is for the purpose to distance the harvest in one group to make sure the revenue and quality of the fruit is not disturbed effect by the competition in food. The earlier step to cutting is choosing the one main tree with one sucker in fourth month the age of banana tree after the plantation.

91

Cutting another sucker of the banana and after nine month, permanent or stay the one sucker of the banana.

CUTTING OF THE BANANA FRONDS The old banana fronds and have a disease must be cut or remove by use a sharp knife in the early process of plantation. The palm fronds must be collect in one place between the rows of banana tree.

TREE SUPPORTER The tree become tilted or slanting when the banana fruit begin grows up. By that, the tree need to a crutch by stick or wood for supported the tree from fall and fractured because of cannot to accommodate the heavy of the banana fruit.

PACKAGING THE CLUSTERS OF BANANA First step to control the quality of banana fruit is by wrap the cluster of banana. Packaging can avoid insect bites in fruit, friction with leaf or wooden support. Packaging also can avoid fruit from scratch during harvest, collecting and
92

transporters from farm to store. The cluster of banana is packaging by blue or white polietilena plastic or brown paper. The plastic is to last than brown paper and can use repeatedly. The size of plastic is 75cm x 120cm or the appropriate size for the banana fruit. Packaging can perform during the last level of formation the cluster of banana. Before the process of packaging, the banana flower must be cutting.

FRUIT MATURITY Banana fruit reach a maturity level when enlargement of fruit comes to an end. Banana that achieves a maturity level is ripe proper. To determine the maturity of the fruit is depends on size and shape, radius of the banana,
93

colour of the skin, and age the fruit after secretion of the heart. The banana fruit that that achieves a maturity level have a radius which almost round and thick. Mature fruit is has a green brightness colour.

REVENUE COLLECTING

Banana harvesting carried out carefully so that the physical damage does not happen to maintain fruit quality and avoid losses. Banana harvesting can be done at hours either at the morning or evening to avoid of sun warm temperatures because this temperature would disturb fruit ripening. Banana stem felling should be done efficiently so that clusters of banana not fall to land after limbered down by half stem pruning. Clusters of banana after bunch stalk are deducted from stem, need to be looked after to make sure that it will not fall crushed to land to avoid fruit injury. Banana bunches should be placed in place covered with soft thing such as banana leaf or sponge to prevent friction or fruit movement so that no injuries in banana skin.

POST-HARVEST HANDLING Clusters of banana must be sent to storage space or warehouse carefully. The transportation of banana fruit from farm to warehouse easy to carried out by using wheelbarrow and railway truck or coach.

TO KEEP FRUIT TILL RIPE This is process to keep fruit till ripe that suitable for eat freshly. The process is doing by using calcium carbide in 3-10 gram for each kilogram banana and take at the corner or angle in the room. Estimate time is around 24 hours.

ANOTHER REVENUE COLLECTING

95

The banana flower and the leaf of banana also can sell to the wholesaler or sell at the market.

PEEL OF THE BANANA SKIN The banana skin is peeled by the labour manually after the quality of the banana is being checked.

SLICE THE BANANA

96

Using slicing machine, the banana will automatically been slice into pieces.

FRIED THE BANANA The banana then, will be put into shallow pan as to fried it for only a few minutes untill the colour is turn into gold yellow.

SIEVE THE BANANA AFTER FRIED (REMOVE OIL) After finished fried the banana, the banana will then be sieve. This is to ensure that the banana oil is removed. This is also to ensure that the banana is dry.

ADDING THE FLAVOUR TO BANANA CHIPS When it is already cold, the banana chips is added with a flavour such as salt depend on the taste that are prefer by the customer. This is also to get the better taste of the chips.

PACKAGING THE BANANA CHIPS

97

The chips then finally will be packaged according to the customer preference.

6.10 MANPOWER PLANNING Manpower planning is to determine the planned rate of production per day for the particular section of job. It is important to determine the total amount of salary that needs to be given to the workers. In our company, we just hired two workers to manage the 10 acres farm. The total of workers will be added from time to time. It is also important in determining the standard time for a worker to produce one unit of product or to complete a particular job. In our company, for sure they will take good care to the banana trees to ensure that our company can achieve our goal and to recover our established cost to run this business, as well as to get more profit from time to time. For working hour, it can help in order to manage and determine the workers productive hours. It is to ensure, that the workers done their job

101

effectively. For example working hours per day rest time or workers idling time. Lastly, we will calculate the amount of direct labour required
