TECHNICAL FEASIBILITY

 A business is considered technically and

operationally feasible if it has the necessary
expertise, infrastructure and capital to develop,
install, operate and maintain the proposed
system, and that by establishing such a system, the
business will be able to deliver goods or services
at a profit.
 When considering a new business, it is important to
consider if there is sufficient access to resources. One
of the primary reasons that new business fails is
under-capitalisation - not enough money to keep
the business going from startup until it starts to make
a profit. This can lead to a lack of resources.

BE REVIEWED.
 C. SIZE OF THE BUSINESS & PRODUCTION
SCHEDULES
 MINIMUM & MAXIMUM RATED CAPACITY
 FIXED COSTS
 ACTUAL CAPACITY UTILIZATION
 THE NUMBER OF SHIFTS PER DAY
 NUMBER OF OPERATING DAYS PER YEAR
D.PRODUCTION SCHEDULES
 THE EXPECTED GROWTH IN MARKET SHARE
 THE AVAILABILITY OF FINANCING FOR POSSIBLE
EXPANSION
 THE AVAILABILITY OF MORE RAW MATERIALS
 THE LEVEL OF UTILIZATION OF PLANT CAPACITY
E. MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT
 IDENTIFIED & INDIVIDUALLY LISTED ACCDG TO
TYPE & USE
 SPECIFICATIONS, CAPACITIES & COSTS MUST BE
DESCRIBED IN DETAIL
 THE ORIGIN OF THE MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT,
WHETHER LOCAL OR IMPORTED
 THE MANNER OF & COST OF TRANSPORTING
THEM MUST BE INDICATED
E. MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT
 What type of equipment and technology will the business
need to produce its product/service?
 What costs are involved to purchase and set up the
equipment? What are the costs involved in the ongoing
running of the equipment?
 EQUIPMENT SUPPLIERS:
 Who are the potential suppliers of the equipment?
 Where are they located?
 What sort of service and warranties do they provide?
 How long will it take to acquire the equipment and begin
operations?
F. LOCATION
 A THOROUGH & COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS FOR EACH
POTENTIAL LOCATION SHOULD BE MADE TO DETERMINE
THE MOST IDEAL SITE.
 IT HAS TO CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING FACTORS:
 THE ACCESSIBILITY TO, & AVAILABILITY OF, RAW MATERIAL
SOURCES
 THE AVAILABILITY OF CHEAP OR MODERATELY-PRICED
UTILITIES SUCH AS POWER, WATER, OR FUEL
 THE COMBINED COST OF TRANSPORTING RAW MATERIALS &
FUEL TO THE SITE
 THE PROXIMITY TO DISTRIBUTING OUTLETS
 THE AVAILABILITY OF SKILLED & UNSKILLED LABOR

 MAPS & CHARTS OF THE PROPOSED SITE MUST BE

INCLUDED
G. LAYOUT
 THE LAYOUT SHOULD BE CLEARLY DEPICTED
THROUGH DIAGRAMS & DESCRIPTIONS.
 A GOOD LAYOUT IS CHARACTERIZED BY
 MINIMUM MATERIAL HANDLING
 EFFECTIVE SPACE UTILIZATION
 SMOOTH WORK FLOW
 SAFE & CONDUCIVE WORKING AREA FOR THE
WORKERS
 SAFETY AND SANITATION FACILITIES, &
 FLEXIBILITY OF ARRANGEMENTS
H. BUILDING & FACILITIES
 What are possible locations for the facility (office/manufacturing
plant)?
 What size facility is needed?
 What are the costs involved in the building? Do you need to fit it
out? How much will it cost to get all necessary utilities
connected?
 Does the proposed location have adequate access to
infrastructure and services such as highways, railway and
utilities?
 Will you need to build your own facility, or purchase an existing
one?
 Where will the facility be located in relation to your customers?
 Who will be responsibile for transport of goods between the
facility and the market? What are the costs involved?
H. BUILDING & FACILITIES
 THE SITE, TYPE, & COSTS OF THE BUILDING AND
LAND, AS ENVISIONED IN THE PROJECT, SHOULD
ACCURATELY BE PRESENTED.
 THE CONSTRUCTION COST OF THE BUILDING &
FACILITIES SHOULD BE PRESENTED AS ADAPTED
TO THE MACHINERY & EQUIPMENT THAT WILL
BE USED IN THE PROJECT.

DRAINAGE FACILITIES, ETC. & THEIR RESPECTIVE
COSTS SHOULD BE COMPUTED & INCLUDED.
I. RAW MATERIALS & SUPPLIES

DOWN AND THE BASIS FOR THEIR SELECTION MUST
PRESENTED.

PHYSICAL, MECHANICAL, AND CHEMICAL
PROPERTIES MUST ALSO BE GIVEN.

MATERIALS, THE AVAILABILITY AND CONTINUITY OF
SUPPLY, AND THE CURRENT PROSPECTIVE SOURCES
SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUDED.

OPERATIONS MUST BE CLEARLY PRESENTED.
J. UTILITIES
 THIS PORTION DESCRIBES THE AMOUNT, COST,
AND SOURCES OF ELECTRICITY, FUEL, WATER,

UTILIZATION DEFINED. ALTERNATIVE SOURCES
OF THESE UTILITIES AND THE FEASIBILITY OF
THEIR USE MUST ALSO BE DESCRIBED.

DISPOSAL, AND THE COST INVOLVED IN DOING
AWAY WITH EXPECTED WASTE FROM
PRODUCTION IS NECESSARY.

CONSIDER THE POSSIBILITIES OF FURTHER
USING THESE WASTES.
L. PRODUCTION COST
 THE MONETARY ASPECT OF ALL THE
PRODUCTION PLANS IS PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE.
 HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO PRODUCE ONE
UNIT OF OUTPUT?

 OVERHEAD COST( FIXED COST), OPERATING COSTS
(VARIABLE COSTS)
 OTHER PERTINENT COSTS
M. LABOR REQUIREMENT
