12 Major problems/prospects Absence of medium and large scale units in the cluster
Lack of innovative ideas
In most of the units, ownership and management pattern is proprietary, partner or private ltd and they look after various vital activities themselves Finance is the most critical problem in the cluster.
High inventory cost
Unhealthy competition amongst the cluster enterprises
Some enterprises are manufacturing pipes and fitting using scraps which make the product inferior in quality
Sharp price rise in plastic raw material Non adherence to standard processes norms Testing of raw materials is generally not done at units premises
Absence of modern inventory management practices
Need for adoption of bench marking practices The extrusion technology used in the cluster is old and needs up gradation
Most of the SMEs don t have systematic marketing channels and demand forecasting systems
Need for creation of CFC for developing testing and R&D laboratory and skill development
