ABSTRACT
Until now the technology for producing one of the most common materials for Sketching and writing, pencil, was not known in West Africa and a percentage of the nation’s foreign exchange earnings are committed to its importation. The paper describes the step-by-step research, design and development of the pencil manufacturing plant at PRODA, Enugu. The study used case study design and field interview to obtain data from various primary and secondary sources. Purposive (non-probability) sampling technique was used to sample opinions from both senior technical staff and production manuals. The result showed that a medium sized plant of ten (10) million tonne capacity is possible in a 7,500m2 space.
