Estudio de factibilidad para la implementación del área de estampado en serigrafía y sublimado en la Empresa SUMATEX, periodo 2015

Abstract

This graduating paper is a feasibility study for the implementation of an area of silkscreen printing and sublimation in a company called SUMATEX during 2015. The objective is to determine the marketing, technical, and financial feasibility. First, a market study was performed and its results showed a high demand of sublimation and silkscreen printing products with tendency to increase even more. Concerning the technical study, the processes that are required to make the product were shown and the suppliers for all the equipment were also found. The budget resulting from the financial study is $49,021.71. In the same way the savings flow which showed positive was determined. The savings flow also helped to apply a financial evaluation obtaining a net present value of $4,484.61 above zero, an internal return rate of 12.17% which is higher than the opportunity rate which is also taken as the sum of inflation 3.67%. This plus the benchmark deposit rate by 5.18% equals 8.85%. There is a cost benefit ratio of $1.09 which is a higher value than the unit. The recovery period of the investment is 3 years and 8 months, which is less than the period for evaluating the project: 5 years. As a conclusion, all the results show the project as feasible. It is recommended to implement this project by internalizing an area of silkscreen printing and sublimation in the company since it will allow the owners to generate savings which will cover the cost of the new equipment.
