ACME
Labs is a global company which deals in pharmaceuticals, herbal, nutraceutical,
ayurvedic and veterinary medicines. Being a Financial Manager of the company, I
would be proposing a model for the steady flow of money inside company. The
endeavor such as proposing the production of medicines for cure of Covid-19 is
the soul of this essay. I would be proposing a model to invest in the
production of Covid-19 and how it can be beneficial for the company in future
in order to maximize the profit affiliated with the product. During the
devastating conditions of the Pandemic there is an immense need of Covid-19
medication globally which can be taken as a business opportunity to maximize
the production and sales of the company. Being a production company of
pharmaceuticals, it is the duty of the firm to cater the global needs of
medicine and notice the increase in the demand of the medicines towards a
certain disease.
In
case of Covid-19, the pandemic has affected the communities at large and a huge
number of patients are suffering from the pandemic. The need of medication for
Covid-19 is a huge business opportunity because patients are present globally
and there is an immense need to cater their needs in order to come out of this
crucial condition. The raw materials and their availability are the key factors
in the manufacturing process and the profit affiliated with the product made is
to be considered before the manufacturing of any medicine. The board of
directors must consider the following factors before giving the permission to
start the production process of a medication:
·
Target Audience (Patients suffering from
Covid-19)
·
Availability of Raw Material for the
certain product
·
Risk Affiliated with the product
·
Cost of Production
·
Possible Profit outcome affiliated with
the product
·
Cost of Transportation
·
Global Availability of the Product
·
Future Trends and Profit Making
·
Long Term Financing
·
Research and Development Funding

Laboratories authorities are interested to see the possible profit margin
affiliated with the endeavor and being the Financial Manager I must highlight
the risk and profit that can be made possible by the manufacturing of Covid-19
medication. Covid-19 is a global Pandemic and one thing is sure that there is
an immense growth in the demand of medication of Covid-19. It is the duty of a
pharmaceutical company to cater the needs of medication that is needed world-wide.
The availability of the raw products for the manufacturing process of a certain
medication is the main interest of the company because it allows the production
of medication at huge level if raw material is available with greater ease and
minimum price. Converting that raw material and the chemicals into something
useful and helpful for the community at large can be the possible solution in
order to maximize the profit margin of a company. While observing the long-term
benefits of the medication and the profit affiliated with the future sales of
the business model an adequate amount of stock must be available in order to
meet the future demand of the patients globally. One of the recommendations is
to make the medication globally available in order to compete other
pharmaceutical companies by efficient transportation of the medication to all
the parts of the World. In order to capture the business market at large, it is
mandatory to distribute the medication at a large scale in order to address more
patients and provide intime remedy globally. Research and Development Funding
is to be decided prior the production process in order to make a rough sketch
of maximum profit minus the developing cost of the medication. Long Term
Financing is also to be considered that if the company takes loan then what
will be the profit that can be generated if that loan is invested properly. The
strategy that must be followed is that the profit factor should be larger than
the initial investment. There must be an adequate amount of profit generated by
the medication in order to cover the risk of loss affiliated with the loan. All
the above factors are to be considered before starting a new endeavor in a
business model. Authorities need to consider all the pros and cons of the
endeavor mentioned in the text in order to pursue with the decision to start
the manufacturing process.
