VII. ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT FEASIBILITY What is the management structure? Is it appropriate for the managerial needs of the project? What is the salary scale? Is it compatible with industry standards? 24 Scanned with CamScanner ACTIVITY 1 - The Market Study The market study is the lifeblood of a project feasibility study. While profitability is generally the focal point of project study, the question of demand is an important issue. It is therefore, necessary that the market study be given important consideration. A. Determine: The size, nature, and growth of total demand for the project or service. Determine past demand (Syears). Project demand (Syears) ACTIVITY 2- The Technical Study After the market study, the technical feasibility of the project is analyzed. 1, Select: ‘The manufacturing process or service process. ‘The machinery /tools needed capacity and design. ‘The source of machinery, the plant location, the plant layout, the structure specification, the bill of materials, raw materials and their sources. 2. Determine: The quantity and quality of the product/ service to be producéd/ sold.. The labor needed, both skilled and unskilled, the waste disposal method, the transportation necessary. 3. Provide estimation of the total project cost and enumerate the major items of capital cost. 4. List down in detail estimated production and overhead that will go into operating the proposed project. 5. List any major technological development in the industry which may affect the commercial or technical soundness of the project. ACTIVITY 3 - The Financial Study Since all projects are considered viable only when they are expected to be profitable to meet the short term obligations, to be liquid and to remain liquid during adversities, to grow in their ability to finance their operations mostly from networth sources rather than credit applications, to be able to service their financing charges, the aspect is a very important part of every project feasibility study. Assuch, this portion should show in specified terms whether the project will be profitable even with existing competition and unfavorable economic conditions, and present detailed figures to show the improvement of the project's financial condition over time. Scanned with CamScanner ‘These may be shown by the preparation of statements and schedules on the profits expected to be realized, the modes of financing needed to optimize the project’s performance, the manner and period of repaying creditors, and other financial considerations which are vital to the success of the venture. WRITE THE MAJOR ASSUMPTIONS Total project cost 1. Initial working capital requirements 2. Alternative sources of financing, if any. 3, Sources of financing the project 4, Beginning the pro-formula financial statements Financial analysis - this presents the overall financial picture in terms of operating cash requirements, profitability, and cash flow. Socio-economic study - this part answers the questions: What are the effects of the project on society and the economy as a whole? Is it generally beneficial to the people? is it in line with the economy's development program? ACTIVITY 4 - The Organization and Management Study After setting the objectives and the ways and means of attaining them, the overall implementation plan is discussed in the organization and management study. Describe: The basic consideration in forming the organization. The form of ownership, what is the salary scale? Is it compatible with industry standards? The organizational chart. The officers and key personnel ACTIVITY 5 - The Socio-Economic Study A project, to be worthy of financing, especially from government institutions, should be geared toward not only profit generation but also social and economic benefits. This portion of the study will serve as an aid in determining the socio-economic contribution the project can. offer. 1. Briefly explain how the project will affect: a. Employment and income, considering the improvement in the standards of living of families and individuals. b. Taxes, showing the increased revenues the improvement in the standards of living of families and individuals. c. Supply of commodities, observing the different possibilities of influencing prices and foreign exchange balances. d. Demand for materials to aid local producers. 26 Scanned with CamScanner By generating employment and income, The project directly benefits individuals and families. Indirectly, the entire economy may be benefited. More incomein the hands of the people would mean greater demand for other goods. This additional demand may, in turn, stimulate the production of more of the other goods, thereby generating further employment and income. It must be noted, however, that this can happen only when there is some unemployment in the economy and where more materials are readily accessible to those producers who wish to respond to the additional demand. A better understanding of this phenomenon entails a firm grasp of basic economics. ‘The production activity of the project favorably affects the supply situation of the industry in various ways. Where there is an adequate seller, the project's entry alleviates the supply shortage and lowers prices somewhat. In an overcrowded industry, the project may improve product quality and/or decrease prices if it is highly competitive in its entry. At the same time, the production activity exerts additional demands for raw materials and other industrial inputs. This stimulates the production of the latter items and helps promote industry linkages. In both generation of employment and income and the production activity, the governments stand to benefit through revenues from taxes. Exercises: Require individual students to prepare a feasibility study based on the format presented. This feasibility study will be bookbinded after final presentation and editing. The faculty teaching the subject will see to it that the feasibility study presented is real and practical and economical. There should be panel to judge and evaluate and critique in the feasibility presentation. The accrediataion office, library will be given a copy of the book binded feasibility study. 27 Scanned with CamScanner Republic of the Philippines Department of the Interior and Local Government NATIONAL POLICE COMMISSION NATIONAL CAPITAL REGIONAL POLICE OFFICE ‘Camp Gen.
