Dried skipjack tuna is a processed fish product that is produced traditionally and is a processed product from various regions in Indonesia, including Aceh. Dried skipjack tuna is used as a food ingredient in people’s daily lives so that the demand is relatively stable. West Aceh has good fishery resource potential, but currently does not yet have an industrial-scale fish processing industry, especially the production of skipjack tuna-based dried fish. As a basic initiation, it is necessary to carry out a techno-economic study for an initial study in setting up various types of businesses or industries. The purpose of this study was to determine the production capacity, production process, location and layout of the dried skipjack tuna processing factory facilities, as well as determine the feasibility of investment in terms of the economic assessment of the operation of the dried skipjack tuna processing industry. The results of the research that has been carried out, the planned production target per day is 600 kilograms of raw skipjack tuna which will be processed into 600 packs of dried skipjack tuna with a packaging weight of 500 grams. Determining the location of the factory using scoring method, the location of Suak Raya, West Aceh Regency was chosen as the location for the establishment of the dried skipjact tuna industry. The layout design is based on the corelap algorithm with several production spaces such as storage area, bone extraction area, cutting area, sorting area, drying area, fish separation area, weighing area, and packing area. Based on economic analysis, the dried skipjack tuna production industry is considered feasible to operate with an investment value of Rp. 773,795,000 and a total cost of Rp. 5,877,604,900. The cost of production (HPP) is Rp. 26,087 per package and a predetermined selling price of Rp. 36,522 per package or 40% of the HPP. Other economic analyzes that have been carried out obtained a Break-Even Point (BEP) value of 468,000 packages per year, a Pay Back Period (PBP) for 3 years, a Net Present Value (NPV) of Rp. 3,328,686,033.29, the Net Benefit Cost (Net B/C) is 56 and the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is 67%
