CAPITAL BUDGET
SUBMISSION AND APPROVAL

This Section gives guidelines for the submission of Capital Budgets

and the approval process of Budget Requests. It also explains the

difference between the approval of Budgets and the requirement for

additional approval through the RFA process.

CAPITAL BUDGET

The Corporate Business Planning department initiates the Capital budget process, typically
around June. The process is first agreed with Senior Management and then communicated to the
General Manager (GM) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of each operation with specific
submission requirements and deadlines.

Since the Business Planning process is an iterative process which gets refined through several
reviews, (Country Management, Regional Directors, Corporate, CEO, Board), normally Country
operations are required to submit their Capital budgets 2-3 times to Corporate. Typically the first
submission of detailed Capital Budgets is required towards the end of September and the final
submission is required around mid-November.

This means that operations should start the process of requesting and reviewing Capital in time
for the first submission to Corporate. The operations CFO should prepare and communicate
internal deadlines for Capital submission and review.

Although the Country operation will be required to present their budgets to their Regional
Director, the Chief Financial Officer and the Chief Executive Officer of the company, FINAL
approval is only granted once the Board of Directors has approved the budget. Generally the
Board meeting for the approval of budgets takes place mid-December, following which a formal
notification of approval (or otherwise) will be sent to the GM and CFO of the country.

CAPITAL BUDGET APPROVAL & RFA PROCESS

Approval of the budget does not give the operation an automatic right to start spending Capital.
The CCHBC and Country specific (local) Charts of authority (COA) define what additional
authorisations are required for Capital prior to funds being committed. If the Capital item required
is budgeted and below the approval thresholds governed by the Corporate Chart of Authority,
then Country procedures apply and Corporate functions do not need to be further involved.

Corporate approval is required for items over a certain value (See Corporate Chart of Authority
limits) to allow Function heads and Regional directors to review specific Capital needs in more
detail. The process used to approve Capital here is known as the Request for Authorisation
(RFA) process.

During the budget cycle it is impossible for function heads to carry out in depth reviews of all
Capital Investment being requested across all the CCHBC territory. The RFA process allows
senior management to consider the investment request in more detail and to look at the more
technical aspects of the request in order to leverage experience at group level to better serve the
country and the group. Using group buying power to decrease the cost of an investment or using
under utilised assets in another country are examples of areas where we can maximise benefit to
both Country and Group.

CAPITAL BUDGET REQUIREMENTS

- Guidelines, issued by Corporate Business Planning Department -

Each year a specific set of requirements and deadlines will be sent out to the Country Managers
and CFOs. This should be read carefully, as they may supersede the requirements set out below.

The basic requirements are as follows:


- A Summary outline of Capital Requests and Cash Flows for Current Year (based on the latest
Rolling Estimate), and 2 extra years by Capital category.
- A page outlining each request by type (defined below) and by Fixed Asset category. This
same page captures:
Timing of Fixed Assets Additions (i.e. When the invoice will be processed in the
accounting system)
Timing of Cash Flows (i.e. When the expenditure will be paid). Must tie in to the Cash
Flow statement.
For each request which is EBITDA enhancing, and which are over 100,000 EUR,
financial returns must be calculated (Discounted Payback, NPV using the Country
Weighted Average Cost of Capital)
For Projects over 100,000 EUR with a payback of less than 3 years the NPV
calculation is not necessary
For each request over 100,000 EUR please indicate its impact on Y1 Volume and
EBITDA
No business or financial justifications are required for year 2

Refer to Appendix V for Business Plan Capital template

- For Year 1 requests, an executive summary which includes both business and financial
justifications, should accompany the template submissions. The criteria and content of these
additional requirements is outlined below.

CATEGORIES

Capital should be classified as follows:


- Land
- Buildings
- Production Equipment
- Returnable Containers
- Motor Vehicles / Fleet
- Computer Equipment
- Marketing Equipment which must be further subdivided into:
- Coolers
- Vendors
- Post Mix / Pre Mix
- Other Marketing Equipment (Racks, Illuminated Signs)

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

CRITERIA & CONTENT FOR BUSINESS & FINANCIAL JUSTIFICATION

A lot of emphasis is placed upon obtaining clear


- Business justifications for ALL Capital requests
- Financial justifications for EBITDA enhancing and Lon term payback project

Each Capital request must be allocated to one of the following types:

Type of Request Reference Code Requires


On Template Financial
Justification

a) Compliance / Regulatory Z No
b) Maintenance / Replacement R If applicable
c) Expansion / Cost Savings E Yes
Short Payback (Less than 3 yrs)
d) Long Term - Payback (Greater than 3 yrs) LT Yes

An Executive Summary should be prepared giving the following information:

I. Business Justification
Purpose of Investment
Project fit with the overall strategy
Critical Success Factors to successful completion
Investment details (Cost breakdown)
Type of Project
Disposals resulting from this submission
Timing of Cash outflows
Key Assumptions underlying forecast performance & associated risks
II. Financial Justification
Timing of Cash Inflows
Payback Period, NPV, Impact on Yr 1 Volume & EBITDA

In doing financial calculations appraisals for Capital please use the prescribed hurdle rates set by
the Treasury department. (The Group Treasury department advises on these rates which are
revised yearly).

When conducting financial appraisals, a conservative approach should be used.

Step 2

PROJECT'S RISK ASSESSMENT PROCESS

This process is followed to classify the projects in different Risk

Levels according to cost, expertise area, complexity etc.

Projects with lower Risk Level should be handled differently from

high Risk Level projects, that need more funds and expertise.

See Appendix I for examples of completed PROJECT RISK

ASSESSMENT form.

This process was communicated to the field on Oct. 2, 2000.

February 2001
PROCESS FOR DETERMINING PROJECTS RISK
AND INVOLVEMENT LEVEL
OF THE GROUP ENGINEERING FUNCTION
IN MAJOR CAPITAL PROJECTS

A main objective of the central engineering function is to optimise our Investment and maximise
the Use of Capital and Assets by

1) Optimising project's design, quality, operational cost and minimising investment cost
2) Utilising idle equipment
3) Exploiting and maximising group synergies and combining projects
4) Leveraging with suppliers/contractors (in conjunction with procurement)
5) Providing knowledge and expertise whenever requested or needed
6) Capitalising on learnings and best practices
7) Reducing Capital outlay through cross border reviews with supply chain.
8) Remaining current on new technologies

The scope of the proposed process is to facilitate co-operation and communication between the
Group Technical and the countries, clarify roles and responsibilities in relation to major projects, in
order to maximise the value created by the technical functions (countries and Group) and avoid
delays, confrontations, frustrations etc.

PROCESS

A. It is countries' responsibility to raise the need for a project.


B. All projects requiring Group technical review and approval via the Chart of Authority must be
reviewed with group technical in the design stage to minimise/eliminate redesign and
unnecessary delays.
C. A copy of the Capital Budgets, submitted for approval in the ABP presentations, must be sent
(by the countries) to the Head of the Group Engineering Function (GEF) before the ABP
presentations (end of September, beginning of October).
A copy of the final Capital Budget approved by the Board, must be sent by the Corporate
Business Planning Dept., to the GEF.

D. The Group Engineering Function will assess projects risk (see attached Risk
Assessment Form), and will determine the risk level of all major projects. In the same
Form the involvement of any other Group Function (Supply Chain, PET, Procurement etc)
required will be identified .
E. The Group Engineering Function will communicate the Risk Assessment Forms to the
relevant countries, and in conjunction with them will formulate a final proposal for the level
of involvement of GEF needed in each major project based on following table.

GEF's Involvement in relation to Project's Risk Level

Risk Level 0 No involvement of GEF is needed

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Capital Projects Management Guide Page 10 of 34


February 2001
Risk Level 1 The GEF must be involved in the preliminary design and it is suggested to
be involved in all important technical decisions.
Project's responsibility (and project management) remains with the
country.
Procurement has to be involved in the various project's stages
(selection/evaluation of suppliers, formulation of agreements, contracts etc.)
according to the Chart of Authority and to the relevant procedures.

Risk Level 2 The GEF must be involved in the project's design process, in the evaluation
of suppliers/contractors process, and to be informed for all major technical
issues. If requested/needed and agreed, the GEF can design the project,
develop drawings and specifications and/or supervise the technically correct
execution of works.
Project's responsibility (and management) remains with the country,
unless agreed otherwise.
Procurement has to be involved in the various project's stages
(selection/evaluation of suppliers, formulation of agreements, contracts etc.)
according to the Chart of Authority and to the relevant procedures.

Risk Level 3 In order to ensure a collaborative approach, for all level 3 projects, an
Engineering Project's Steering Committee will be formed. The
Committee will consist of members from countrys management team, from
GEF, and will be chaired by the Project Manager, unless agreed otherwise.
Central procurement function must also be represented in the steering
committee.
The Project's Steering Committee has the overall project's
responsibility.
Project Management will be conducted by the Group Engineering
Function (design, site project management, project supervision, contractors
and suppliers selection/evaluation , cost, quality of works, time etc.) unless
agreed otherwise. All projects will be managed in close co-operation with
local management.

F. Group Engineering Department will communicate its proposal to the operations, in order to get
their feedback and get consensus on the required involvement levels (roles and responsibilities).
G. Above process must be finished before the final approval of the Capital Budgets by the Board
(November for normal Capitals and August for the early Capitals).

Important Notice:
If the Capital Projects that you are developing will ultimately require Group Technical approval, in
accordance with the Chart of Authority, please ensure GEFs involvement in the preliminary design
phases to avoid unnecessary delays and expenses.
It is strongly recommended to co-operate closely with the Group Engineering Function and follow
above practice for all major projects.

Step 4

STUDY, DEVELOPMENT AND PLANNING


(For projects of Risk Level 2, 3)

After the approval of the relevant RFAs, projects move to the

realisation phase.

As mentioned before, for projects with Risk Level 0, countries have

total responsibility. For projects with Risk Level 1, again, countries

have full responsibility, but GEF must be involved at least in the

preliminary design phase.

It is important to clearly define the roles of the owner, the steering committee and
the project management in order to facilitate a successful project. There is a
tendency for owner/clients and others to participate in project management, i.e.
owners and/or owners representatives may give instructions directly to contractors
or request reports directly from contractors. The Project Manager must manage
upward and insist that all contacts with the contractors or suppliers are through him.
Anything else will leave the project vulnerable and subject to unnecessary risk.

5.2. PROJECT PROGRESS

It is Project Manager's responsibility to establish an adequate cost control


system in order to monitor and control all areas of project cost to reach the goal
of finishing the works within Budget.

An example of a project cost control form is presented in Appendix IV that can


be used for complicated projects.

The project progress should follow the "Project Progress Flow Chart" (see
page 31) as described analytically below.

5.2.1. Select the level of supplier monitoring required on the project. If the
project refers to the supplier's internal activities, then a full monitoring is
needed. For Low Risk, "Supply only" projects, no supplier monitoring is
needed.

5.2.2. If it is decided that it is necessary to monitor design, manufacturing,


P.M. or Q.A. activities through the project address the following points:
5.2.2.1 Plan what needs to be monitored in order to provide a
reasonable assurance that the equipment / services will be to
the correct level of quality.
A. Supplier Quality Plan
A quality plan is a document that states how the
supplier will ensure that the product or services
delivered will be of the required quality. Therefore it
refers to procedures used to control design,
manufacture, testing etc.
Additionally, the quality plan will show how these
activities are monitored and approved in a step by step
process.
Key aspects of a quality plan are:
a) Contract review to ensure all customers stated
requirements are understood and achievable.
b) Adequate control of design including verification
and validation of designs by competent and
qualified persons.
c) Design review / Changes.
d) Documentation control to ensure that everybody
works using from approved drawings and
documents only.
e) Control and review of sub-specs and materials.
f) Tests and inspections
g) Control of sub-contractors / suppliers.
h) Who is authorised to approve what?

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

Capital Projects Management Guide Page 28 of 34


February 2001
B. Design Documents
View and/or approve suppliers design documentation.
It is not expected that all aspects of design should be
viewed and/or approved, therefore it must be identified
what aspects need such high degree of control and
monitoring.
When viewing suppliers' design documents, develop a
list appropriate for the task.
C. Build Inspection
Inspect and/or approve stages of building or
manufacture at the supplier's premises.
It is not expected that all stages of building or
manufacture should be inspected and/or approved,
therefore, it must be identified what aspects need such
high degree of control and monitoring.
When inspecting suppliers systems, develop a
checklist, appropriate for the task.
Civil work should always be inspected at stages stated
in the project programme (i.e. foundation, support
structure etc.).
5.2.2.2. Ensure that appropriately qualified personnel undertake the
inspection, testing and auditing of the supply.
5.2.2.3. Continuously monitor site work to ensure that it is carried out
in accordance with the contract and specs.
5.2.2.4. Record the results of inspections and tests.

5.2.3. Changes during Supply


Any changes during supplier monitoring, should be assessed for their
likely impact.
Where it is considered that changes might have an impact, a combined
assessment of risk and any subsequent action should be completed.
This may mean changing the level of supplier monitoring, for a
particular aspect that has become obvious as higher risk than initially
considered or possibly gaining further more expert assistance in a
particular field.

5.2.4 "Supply only" Orders


For simple "supply only" orders, which are low risk, or any contract,
where supplier monitoring has been deemed to be unnecessary, a
phase review is also unnecessary.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________

5.2.5 Review Phase
Where supplier monitoring has been considered necessary, a phase
review should be performed, including the following:
Supplier monitoring effectiveness.
Actual status of equipment (satisfactory for delivery?).
If phase review is not approved, decide what corrective action is
required.

5.2.6 If review phase is satisfactory, or a corrective action has been agreed,


delivery may be formally approved.

Step 6
ACCEPTANCE, START-UP AND HAND-OVER
6.1. PROJECT ACCEPTANCE
6.1.1. Conduct a Project Control Assessment according to below flow chart.
6.1.2. Enrol appropriate skill personnel
Enrol the assistance of individuals with the appropriate skills and skill
levels meeting the requirement that are set either from the "justification"
stage or as a result of re-assessment.
6.1.3. Inspection and test
The degree of inspection and testing is dependent on the complexity of
the project, equipment and the risks. For electrical equipment of any
kind, supplier's / installers test certificates will always be required.
It is expected that installation contractors and/or suppliers will conduct
all the necessary electrical, mechanical, pressure etc. safety tests with
competent persons and clear records of the results, according to the
following chart:

Dimensions, clearances, Visual inspection


hygienic surfaces, documentation...

6.2. PROJECT START-UP AND HAND-OVER

Project start-up should be carefully planned and defined just the same as
project execution. A number of items should be clearly defined in terms of
responsibility and scheduling. This is not as easy as it sounds. The reason
for it being somewhat more complex than project execution lies in the fact that
start-up is usually a joint effort between the project team and the new
operations staff. Responsibility for project execution was with the project
team on. Thus it is critical to clearly define start-up requirements and who is
responsible for what.

Also, it is equally important to pre-plan project hand-over. That is the transfer


of responsibility for the facility from the project manager to the operation
manager. It is not uncommon for project managers to attempt to hand-over a
project before it is considered complete by the client. Similarly, it is not
uncommon for an operations manager to hold on to a project team past a
reasonable completion because the operations staff is not fully capable.
Either situation results in difficult relationships and can cast a negative image
on an otherwise successful project.
