For the economic survival or the success (Paisa / Money) of any industry, it isnecessary to critically analyse the "3P" or "3M", which areknown as PROCESS -METHOD, PERSON- MAN, and PRODUCT-MATERIAL.
Forany industry to survive with considerable profit-paisa, the products producedmust satisfy the need of the customers, for which the industry has to keep the machinesand the methods updated to produce the desired products and also have to developthe personnel skills of the persons to know about the machines and methods thoroughlyto produce the desired products. The products produced thus, will fetch demandin the market and in turn yield required 'Paisa' to the producer.
