Shuriken Incorporated makes shuriken (throwing stars). The things to consider include: construction of factory, equipment, employees, etc...
Let's begin with a site for the factory. A large, open area to be levelled next to roads and waterways is ideal. Most likely, the place will have to be built in a commercial/industrial zone, with many other factories in the area. The plan for the size and shape of the building should include areas for the machinery, employee lounges, loading docks, and other stuff that will be essential in becoming the elite shuriken company in the area.

Okay, now that the facilities are "built", it's time to fill them. The management and sales area will require computers, desks, chairs, lighting, air conditioning, etc. . The factroy will obviously need some machinery to mkae the shuriken with, as well as raw material (in this case, stainless steel). So, it's time to shop for machinery.
STAR-2500 --$8,000. Makes 60 shuriken an hour. Weighs 12,000 lbs.
KVR Ultra --$12,000. Makes 74 shuriken an hour. Weighs 12,500 lbs.
Marksman L-Series --$13,800. Makes 90 shuriken an hour. Weighs 15,000 lbs.
R36-118T --$16,900. Makes 110 shuriken an hour. Weighs 19,400 lbs.
You need to decide how many of what you would purchase. After that, do some searching for a wholesale steel manufacturer, and buy a lot of it.
Now, employees. They are the most important part of your company. Hire appropriate employees for the following positions:
-Sales Reps.
-Janitorial services
-Secretaries
-Running the Machinery
-Maintanence
-Truck Drivers
-Upper and Lower level management
-Custom Shuriken Blacksmiths (for extra high-quality products)
-etc...
Now, for some tips. You can get around pesky pollution laws by claiming that the smoke the factory creats is a religious ceremony, so the government can't touch you. Also, make the ceilings of the entire place mirrored, so the employees will feel as though they work in a futuristic wonder-world, which may encourage them to work harder. In the working forms the employees must sign upon being hired, add "I willl not ask for money if injured on the job" in tiny print somewhere. During slow shuriken-purchasing times of the year, like around St. Patrick's Day, make up some fake holidays and grant your employees leave, which will certainly boost morale.
