A shop can support one man, a large store can support a few men, but a factory can support many families. The main aim of a factory is to gain maximum profit from its production, so the owner must think not only of himself but also of the factory's workers. Heavy machinery in the factory should be placed on the western, southern, or south-western side. A factory generally faces many problems that must be handled with great care and attention. The basic problems of a factory include labour issues, taxation, market competition, changing trends, and government policies. For these reasons, it is important to follow the basic rules and tips of Vastu Shastra to make the factory more profitable.
The main entrance of the factory must face east or north. Both directions are auspicious, but north is more suitable. The factory building must face the south-eastern side of the land. Some land should be left open on the northern, eastern, and north-eastern sides.
Water sources such as a water tank, well, or tube well must be located on the north-eastern side of the factory land. Water should flow from the north-east toward the south-west. The office floor should be cut diagonally.
Electronic equipment such as generators and transformers must be located either on the south-eastern side or the western part of the land. This will help the factory operate smoothly. The factory's office must be placed on the northern or eastern side. During discussions and dealings, the factory owner should face north or east for extra benefit.
Raw materials for the factory must be stored on the south side. Finished goods must be stored in a room on the north-western side of the factory.
Parking should be located on the north-western or north-eastern side. However, only light vehicles such as motorcycles and bicycles should be kept in the north-eastern area. The parking area must not have any shed.
The supervisor of the factory must sit on the north-western side of the office room. Management staff, other than labourers, must sit on the northern or eastern side of the office. Housing for labourers and staff must be built on the north-eastern side of the factory. A temple is auspicious on the north-eastern side of the land.
