Introduction

Within a carved span of time, Computers have carved out a niche in the history of mankind and changed the entire gamut of human life at an overwhelming pace. Be it business, academics, defence strategy, budgeting research, engineering, medicine, space exploration, communication, travel and hospitality, utilities, or designing, Computers have established themselves as an indispensable part and so also the computer furniture. Some commonly used computer furniture are Computer Tables, Computer-cum-Printer tables, Printer Tables, Computer Chairs with or without arms, Computers Chairs with or without coaster wheel base etc.

Market Potential

The market demand for Computer furniture is increasing day by day with the increase in use of the Computers. Computer furniture has got domestic as well as export market. Long sitting hours on Computers has necessitated the use of computer furniture such as table and chair having proper dimensions and specifications. Computer tables are designed in such a way so as to accommodate Monitor, CPU, Key Board and other peripherals etc. with the optimum utilization of horizontal and vertical space. Care is also given to provide sufficient leg space, free hand movement for operating mouse, etc. Care is also taken in designing and manufacturing Computer chairs to suit the computer table. Long sitting hours on computer clubbed with improper spinal support on chair have become the major cause for backache to many Computer users. Computer furniture manufacturers are bringing out innovative changes to cope with this problem. Computer furniture is being mainly used in Offices, Computers Training Institutes, Laboratories, Schools, Colleges, and Homes.

Basis and Presumptions

1) It is presumed that the unit will work for single shift of 8 hours and 300 days in a year with 75% efficiency.

2) The unit will take minimum three years to achieve full capacity utilization.

3) Labour wages are taken at the prevailing rates in the local market.

4) The rate of interest on Fixed and Working Capital is taken at an average rate of 12% per annum.

5) Entrepreneur has to raise 25% of the capital investment as margin money.

6 ) Considering the product and usage, the project can last for more than 10 years. The repayment of term loans will be made in 5 years af ter one year moratorium.

7) The unit is proposed to function in own building.

8 ) Cost of machinery and equipment has been taken as per the rates quoted by machinery manufacturers/suppliers.

Technical Aspects

Process of Manufacture

(I) Computer Tables: The Computer table shall be fabricated in knock-down design for easy assembly and transportation. The base frame shall be made of hollow rectangular Mild Steel Section of 50 mm × 25 mm × 1.2 mm thickness by cutting in desired sizes and welding the sections. The open edges of base frames are protected by PVC cover. Level Adjusters are mounted suitably at the bottom edges of base frame. The vertical frame for holding table top and shelf, shall be made out of 25 mm × 25 mm × 1.2 mm thick hollow MS Square Section. The space between vertical frames shall be covered by 1 mm thick steel CRC Sheet. All steel sections shall be protected by powder coated paint after following proper pretreatment. The table top and shelf shall be made of pre-laminated medium density fibre board of 18 mm thickness of interior grade having teak/gray/oak or any other shades specified by the customer. The edges of table top, shelf etc., all shall be rounded or tapered.

Printer Table does not have any drawer/shelf etc., whereas the computer table shall have a suitable drawer for key board made of 18 mm of one side prelaminated medium density board. Below the drawer, the provision is made for sliding board of 9 mm thickness and width 300 mm which can be taken out on either side upto approximate 225 mm for placing the mouse and pad. The table shall also be made with the provision of lockable drawer adjacent to the Key Board drawer, of appropriate size. One shelf of 18 mm of one side prelaminated MDF having a gap of 450 mm from the drawer shall also be provided for holding CPU, UPS, etc.

Computer-cum- printer table shall also have a Key Board drawer/shelf, sliding board (for keeping the mouse and pad), and a lockable drawer. Two shelves are also made for keeping CPU, UPS and stationery etc. A slot on table top is made for smooth passage of computer stationery. MS Flat to support the seat and back rest. The side support shall be made of 50 × 6 mm MS Flat welded to main frame. The arms shall be supported on the side frames having flat of not less than 30 × 6 mm MS Section welded to the side frame. The PUF and coinsed rubber sheet of seat and back rest shall be covered by tapestry/fabric by stitching, and with the help of adhesive and nails. Fabric are also bought out from market which are available in different shades like Coffee Brown/Navy Blue/Light Brown/Grey, etc., and used as per the choice of customer and availability of stock.

The PUF arms for the computer chairs are available in plenty of designs in the market and shall be fitted according to customers orders.

(II) Computer Chairs: The Computer chair shall be revolving type fabricated in knock–down design for easy assembly and transportation, of 12 mm thick ply, pressed formed and ergonomically shaped seat and back which are easily available in the market in standard sizes. These seat and backrest shall be covered with mechanically formed P

UF 50 mm thick with an underneath coirised rubber sheet of 12 mm thick. The PUF and coirised rubber sheet are also bought out from market and manually cut to desired sizes of seat and back rest. Then the seat will be fixed to synchro tilt mechanism which is fabricated in the unit by cutting, bending and welding etc. Five pronged base of MS sheet, 2.5 mm thick duly powder coated is supported on strong ABS Cylindrical turning twin type roller 50 mm dia. The main supporting system for chairs shall be fabricated out of 50 × 8 mm.
