A Review of Manufacturing

For a long time i have tried to get into manufacturing and i can't really say i have made it work so far.

As the chart below shows, i have made 3 attempts to make it work:

1) 2021

2) 2022 - 2023

3) 2025 - 2026

I think to really make it work i need to be earning a consistent item profits of 8 billion per month from one account and therefore making 30 billion of sales.  That will allow me to cover all transaction taxes and broker fees and so leave enough to pay for Omega and invest into the manufacturing business.

A casual look at the chart below will show that this has never really occurred.

But, perhaps because i am part way through my bottle of wine, i will not be giving up.

My main problem is that i have not worked out a systematic process to go through like i have in my Regional Trading business.

And that is because i want to start at 100 miles per hour rather than right at the beginning.

Progress so far

Very opportunistic.  No real process.  There are some items i manufacture that no one else does in Jita.  They may sell, they may not.  No real sense of a constant asset generation.

The Plan going forwards

I am noticing some items in the Regional Trade Hubs that are not being sold that i could manufacture, including the station i am seeding in Kihtaled.

The second thing i will do is try and explore this whole contract market for selling hulls.

What i should do is start from the beginning and pretend i know nothing about manufacturing and therefore allow my skills and understanding to build up over time.  But lets leave that idea on the back burning for now.
