The following questions will aid in the completion of various aspects of my project. Thank you
in advance for your responses.
10. Is there any opportunity for this enterprise to supply foreign designers?
11. If the opportunity exists, can you estimate the volume demand for this fabric outside the
region?
12. Is there potential for eventual expansion of operations to foreign locations?
13. If there were to be a secondary source of cotton fibre other than the West Indian Sea
Island Cotton, what cotton type would it be?
Appendix 2: Equipment Listing and Suppliers.
Table A2.1: Listing of available machines.
Table A2.2: Machines Chosen for consideration in the Manufacturing Process Selection.
1 shirt= 1lb= 2m
2m= 1lb
300m= 150lbs
Therefore, the factory would process 150lbs of cotton every minute. The factory’s working hours
are estimated at 8hours/day, 22days/month, and 12 months/year.
At 100% nameplate capacity, the factory can process approximately 19 million pounds of cotton
lint per year. However, to account for the six major losses of Overall Equipment Effectiveness
programs (breakdowns, setups and adjustments, small stops, reduced speed, start-up rejects and
production rejects), the maximum output is set at 60% nameplate capacity. The overall aim of
the raw material adjustments throughout the first ten years of operation is to continually increase
the supply of WISIC as operations expand in Jamaica.

Appendix 4: Economic Analysis:
A4.1: Costs and Income considered for the Net Cash Flows:
Note: The Foreign Exchange rate as of February 2015 for the US dollar is TT$6.23/US$.
Assumption 1:
- Line workers work 8 hours per day, 5 days per week (22 work days per month).
- Drivers work 8 hours per day, 8 delivery days per month.
- Mechanics work 8 hours per day for daily maintenance duties.
Assumption 2:
- Line workers are paid TTD $35.00 per hour.
- Drivers are paid TTD $40.00 per hour.
- Mechanics are paid TTD $40.00 per hour.
- A supervisor is paid TTD $9,000.00 per month.
Assumption 3:
- One line worker is needed for each machine, for a total of 18 line workers.
- Three delivery vehicles will be utilised, therefore there are 3 drivers.
- A team of 5 mechanics will perform preventative maintenance measures twice a
month, attend to breakdowns or non-routine maintenance and work as additional
operators when maintenance operations are not being performed.
- One supervisor will be employed at the plant.
Therefore, Total line worker labour costs= ($6,160.00/month)*(18 line workers) = TTD
$110,880.00/month.
Monthly Power costs= [(no. of operating hours per day) (no. of operating days per month) (cost
of electricity per kWh) (equipment kW per hour) +monthly customer service charge] + VAT
Total Equipment kW usage per hour = (1.5 + 5.0 + 1.68 + 17.75 + 4.0 + (1.6*2) + 15.0 + 1.5 +
2.0) = 51.63kW/hour
Total Monthly Water Cost= $474.00 +$237.00 + $(0.15)*(474 + 237) = TTD $817.65 or USD
$131.24.
Assumption 5:
- Compressed air deliveries of 9 tanks per delivery would be made twice a month.
Total Monthly Compressed Air Cost= (Cost of 18 tanks + VAT) + (Cost of 2 deliveries)
Assumption 6:
- Fuel for one delivery day costs approximately TTD $200.00 per vehicle.
Total Monthly Fuel Costs= ($200)*(8 delivery days)*(3 vans) = TTD $4,800.00 or USD
$770.47.
Total Monthly Utilities Expenses= USD ($698.41 + $131.24 + $306.22 + $770.47) = USD
$1,906.34.
Total Yearly Rental (Years 2-10) = ($60,000)*(12) = TTD $720,000 or USD $115,569.82.
5. Shipping:
Shipping quotes were provided by Ramps Logistics Ltd. Local handling charges are standard
and include Terminal Handling Charge (THC), Local Administrative Charge (LAC) and
Handling Charge. Ocean Freight varies by location of origin.
- THC= USD $229.00
- LAC= USD $46.00
- Handling= USD $15.00
Total Equipment Shipment Cost= $4,000 + $229 + $46 + $15= USD $4,920.00.
Yearly Raw Material Shipment Cost (India) = $3,900 + $229 + $46 + $15= USD $4,820.00/
40ft container (per 200 bales).
Yearly Raw Material Shipment Cost (Haiti) = $410 + $229 + $46 + $15= USD $700.00/40ft
container.
Yearly Raw Material Shipment Cost (Jamaica) = $550.00 + $229 + $46 + $15= USD
$840.00/40ft container.
