Objective
• This value chain analysis is carried out to increase
production & productivity of metal & metal work by
reducing cost, time, wastage of materials , saving
energy and electric bill.

Specific objective
• To identify the value chain /as is/ in metal production

• Compare the value chain /as is/ with bench marks

• To identify the gap and constraints b/n existing situations and the bench
mark

• Identify the gap and recommended appropriate technologies and methods


that will improve enterprise experience and increase productivity

• To improve managing and monitoring abilities of intra pruners

• To produce demand driven import substitute and export oriented product

Benefits of the value chain


• Enable micro and small scale enterprises to produce, low cost,
quality, demand driven, import substitute product
• Increases customers satisfaction and confidence of enterprise
Improve co-operation and coordination activates with stack holders and
organization

Project proposal document


Rationale: State where it can be useful and how is the value of
producing this
• This project creates job opportunity to those MSE who
produce the adjustable solar cooker itself and those who
cook food for rural and urban area by using sun radiation
as a source of alternative energy.

Project proposal document
Project Description
• The project is made up of stainless steel sheet 0.8 mm
thick and different metal structure. It has four wheels and
driven manually, the reflection part is made of aluminum
foil shield and mounted on parabolic sheet meta.
• a parabolic adjustable solar cooker directs the sun-beam in
to one focal point. At this point all the energy comes
together and heat is generated the heat point can get a
temperature up to 200℃ and the manual adjustable
handle can control the intensity of the focal point and the
temperature.
• The total cost of this technology 2194.20.00ETB. which is
more economical, environmentally and customer friendly.
