A feasibility study on car sun shades
Executive Summary. It was stated in Chapter 1 that some of the problems found in the car sunshades currently sold in the market include limited designs, less cooling efficiency, see-through designs, etc. In response to the need for a car sun shade that would compensate for all the said shortcomings in the car sun shade, the proponents chose to manufacture one that could provide more cooling efficiency, convenience, style and durability.
In the Market Study, the proponents identified De La Salle University as its primary market for the reason that it was the most accessible while the secondary market were the residents of villages and subdivisions such as Ayala Alabang Village, Dona Manuela Subdivision, Magallanes Village, Aeropak Subdivision and UPSV Parañaque. The proponents also considered their friends, relatives as well as schools where they have contacts with as other alternative markets. To identify the target market\u27s preferences, on the other hand, the proponents administered a survey. The data gathering procedure the group made use of was that of the probability data gathering procedure otherwise known as the random sampling method. Respondents were from the colleges of Business and Economics, Engineering and Liberal Arts. The results revealed the respondents\u27 profiles, their demand for the product, as well as their preferences in terms of design, color, packaging and price.
In Chapter 3, the Technical Study, the group determined their production capacity. The minimum of which were 8 units, maximum of 32 units and an average of 20 units per production day. They had attained these results from the time and motion study that they had conducted. The manufacturing process of the product was also laid out in the chapter and broken down into eight steps. The production would follow an assembly-line method.
Chapter 4 of the feasibility study covered the management and legal aspects. It was stated there that the proponents chose the corporation as its form of ownership for the following reasons: 1) Since the corporation is a juridical being, it can enter into contracts and buy properties under its own name, 2) it has a limited liability for each shareholders, 3) it is more stable compared to other forms of ownership, and 4) it makes the accumulation of a larger capital possible. The corporate name chosen by the proponents was \u27Car-Toon Shade, Inc. This corporation is composed of 9 incorporators and it shall exist for a period of 10 months from the date of incorporation. The total investment made by the incorporators was P21,600, with each incorporator contributing P2,400. This chapter also discussed the duties and responsibilities of each of the members in the board of directors, executive officers and key officers. It also stated the general administrative programs that include such matters like position rotations, salaries and wages, working hours, attendance, rules and regulations, tardiness and overtime. Project scheduling, on the other hand, would involve the use of a Gantt Chart. This Gantt Chart would be the corporation\u27s guide in its operations.
Chapter 5 included all the financial aspects of the study. This included budgets for sales, direct and indirect materials, direct and indirect labor. These budgets would then yield the projected income statements and balance sheets. These financial statements, would reflect the profitability or non-profitability of the business venture.
Lastly, Chapter 6 covered the socio-economic aspect of the study. This chapter indicated the social desirability of the proponents\u27 product in the society
A feasibility study on handmade paper boxes
This study consensus the manufacturing, selling, and feasibility of handmade paper boxes where the main objective and focus is its feasibility. Thus, this study provides an analysis on the five different functional areas: Marketing, Technical, Management and Legal, Financial, and Socio-Economic.
The Marketing study concerns determining the demand for the proposed product. The market, which are primary and secondary, will also be defined. The proponets illustrate and describe in the following text the promotional tools and strategies made, with pricing analysis, properties of the handmade paper boxes, logo, brand name and packaging. The monthly demand will also be computed as basis for the sales forecast.
This study will also discuss the technical aspect. This includes the technical description of the product---its features, characteristics, and specifications. It would consist of the series of steps of the manufacturing process as well as a flow chart and the PERT diagram to illustrate the process. A brief description of the raw materials, suppliers, tools, machines and equipments that the proponents will be using are included. The proponents will also illustrate the map of their plant location and plant layout. The proponents will also determine their production schedules as well as compute for plant capacity and production costs of the proposed product.
The scope of the management and legal aspect of the feasibility study include the form of ownership of the business. In this case, the proponents will be establishing a corporation. The form of organizational structure will be discussed together with the different positions in the organization. The functions of each position will be defined thoroughly together with the qualifications. An organizational chart will be made to illustrate the hierarchy of the different positions. A Gantt chart is made to show the outline of the activities that will be done for the next three trimesters. Rules and regulations will be organized by the proponents to ensure peace and order in the organization.
The financial study contains the financial assumptions, the financial statements and the financial analysis. The final assumptions is comprised of the general assumptions as well as the statement of Cost of Goods Sold assumptions, the balance sheet assumptions and the income statement assumptions. It is followed by the projected financial statements of the corporation for a period of nine months. The financial analysis of the corporation through Return on Investment, Return on Equity, Total Asset Turnover, Fixed turnover and Gross profit Margin ratio which will then be compared with the current financial analysis of the handmade paper industry.
The socio-economic aspect is about the social desirability of the product. Here, factors contributing to its desirability will be looked into and discussed.
Based from all three aspects, it has been found out that there is a demand for the product of 71.08% and based from the hypothesis testing, the demand is acceptable. There is available resources in manufacturing the product and the skills required can be done by the proponents. An organizational can be formed to implement activities/operations of the business. The business venture is profitable since there\u27s a return on investment of 38.85%, and it has been found out that the earnings are higher than that of investing the money in the bank.
In terms of socio-economic, the product helps promote environmental awareness through the use of earth-friendly products and simple designs. The proponents, in turn, contribute social desirability by providing employment to their suppliers of local materials
