This project is an attempt to know how the theories can be applied to a practical situation. As a student in UiTM Arau, it is a part of a study for everyone to undergo a case study project. So, for this purpose, I got the opportunity to research a company which manufactured the same product that I want to develop, which is Shikoku Chemicals Corporation that also develops sodium sulphate. In the first part of the project report, I able to collect general information of the company such as the background of the company, technology used and different kind of furniture that the company manufactured. In the second part of the project report, by doing the SWOT analysis, I able to distinguish the strength, weakness, opportunities, and threats of this company and figure out a better technology system solution that can be implemented in the company to cope the current issues that opposed by the company. The strategy and planning to improve the existing system are essential in business development growth. Aside from that, there are few solutions to that problems primarily are do innovation and undergo Research and Development of producing sodium sulphate from automotive batteries electrolytes for industry market. The next solution is recycled all unused part of automotive batteries that not required in producing sodium sulphate from electrolytes of automotive batteries to saving the environment and human health from hazardous and toxic part or component of used automotive batteries. All these solutions are considered to aid Shikoku Chemical Corporation to undergo the new technology for producing very quality chemical product to be served to their customers to sustain their business growth, developments, and more achievements ahead.
