PROJECT APPRAISAL IS A PROCESS OF DETAILED EXAMINATION OF SEVERAL
ASPECTS OF A GIVEN PROJECT BEFORE RECOMMENDING THE SAME
THE INSTITUTION THAT IS GOING TO FUND THE PROJECT HAS TO CHECK THE
VIABILITY OF THE PROJECT. IT HAS TO ENSURE THAT THE INVESTMENT ON THE
PROPOSED PROJECT WILL GENERATE SUFFICIENT RETURN ON THE INVESTMENT MADE
AND THAT THE AMOUNT DISBURSED FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PROJECT WILL BE
RECOVERED ALONG WITH INTEREST WITH IN STIPULATED TIME
PURPOSE ORIENTED LENDINGCAN BE
SUCCESSFUL IF THE DETAILED APPRAISAL OF THE PROJECT IS DONE BEFORE
COMMITTING FUNDS ON THE PROJECT
PROJECT REPORT IS A DOCUMENTS WHICH PROVIDE DETAILS ON THE OVER ALL
PICTURE OF THE PROPOSED BUSINESS
ALSO KNOWN AS FEASIBILITY REPORT
IS PREPARED TO ASCERTAIN THE PROSPECTS OF THE PROPOSED ACTIVITY
IT IS PREPARED TO PRESENT IN-DEPTH TECHNO COMMERCIAL ANALYSIS CARRIED
OUT ON THE PROJECT IDEA FOR CONSIDERATION OF THE FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
AND OTHER AUTHORITIES EMPOWERED TO TAKE THE INVESTMENT DECISIONS.
1.WORK BREAK DOWN STRUCTURE IS A TECHNIQUE WHICH
BREAKDOWN AWORK INTO ITS COMPONENTS AND
AT THE SAME TIME ESTABLISHES THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE COMPONENTS ON THE LINES
OF FAMILY TREE
2.BUT IT IS NOT MERELY A FAMILY TREE FOR THE
HARDWARE INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT
3.PROVIDES THE FOUNDATION AROUND WHICH MANY
PEOPLE WILL GROUP TOGETHER IN THE FORM OF ORGANIZATION AND WITH THE HELP OF
SOFTWARE BUILD UP TOTAL EDIFICE
4.WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE ENABLES THE
INTEGRATION OF PEOPLE,HARDWARE,SOFTWARE INTO TOTAL PROJECT WORK SYSTEM
A project manager
is a professional in the field of project mgmt. He has the responsibility of
planning. Procurement and execution of a project.
Project managers are the first point of
contact for any issues or discrepancies arising from with in the heads of
various departments in an organization before the problem escalates to higher
authorities. As the single point of responsibility he integrates and
coordinates all the contributions and guide them to successfully complete the
project.
1.National projects :set up with in the national boundaries of country
2.International projects : set up in other countries. May be set up by the
government/private sector
·Major forms of international projects
a)Setting up of fully owned subsidiaries abroad
b)Setting up of joint venture abroad
c)Setting up of projects abroad by way of mergers and acquisitions
·Based on project completion time
a)Normal project
b)Crash Project
c)Disaster Project
•Disaster Project
1.Anything needed to gain time is allowed in these projects
2.Engineering is limited to make them work
3.Vendors who can supply yesterday are selected ( no cost issue)
4.Quality short of failure is accepted
5.No competitive bidding
6.Capital cost will go up
7.Project time will drastically reduced
Based on
ownership
1.Private sector : the ownership is completely in the hands of project promoters
and investors
2.Public sector : owned by the states.
3.Joint sector projects : ownership is shared by the government and private
entrepreneur
·Based on size
1.Small projects
2.Medium sized projects
3.Large projects
·Small size
·MSME will now be called micro unit if they have investment upto one crore
and turnover of less than 5 crore
·Small unit : investment limit has been raised from 5 crore to rs 10 crore
with a turnover less than 50 crores.applies to all MSME including the services enterprises
·Enterprise with investment up to rs 20 crore with a turnover less than rs 100
crore will now be called medium units
·Based on need
New projects
Balancing project
Expansion projects
Modernization projects
Replacement project
Diversification project
Backward integration project
Forward integration project
·New project
1.Identifies a new product for which there is demand from the customersand supply is limited
2.A new project idea is conceived and implemented to meet customer needs
3.Here the gap is identified and filling the gap
·Balancing project
1.Many production units that are linked with one another
2.The flow of material through different production units shall be such that
output of one production unit exactly matches the input requirements for the
subsequent production unit.
3.Efficiency of the production line will be maximum and no under utilization of
production capacity.
•example
·Unbalanced projects
1.Cutting units capacity : 50 units
2.Folding unit capacity = 40 units
3.Welding unit = 50
4.Paining unit =50
·Effect of unbalanced projects
1.Under utilization of production capacity
2.Low return
3.Competitor may offer at cheaper price
·Expansion project
1.Increasing the plant capacity for current product range
2.As the growth : plans andimplementing a project for enhancing the plant capacity
3.Establishing additional plant capacity
4.By acquisition of another organization in same line of capacity
5.Where there is definite upward trend in the demand for the product and only
after the management of the organization
·Modernization projects
1.Technological innovation is a continuous process
2.When a new technology is evolved and becomes commercially operative,the
existing technology becomes obsolete,
3.Two aspects : the production process would have become obsolete in view of
the latest technology innovation
4.Most advanced features would have been incorporated in the plant and
machinery with the result the existing old plant and machinery might have
become obsolete
•Modernization when ignored will result in either of the following situations
:
1.Producing inferior products
2.Cost will be higher
·Replacement of project
Involves replacing some of the old machinery with new machinery of the
same capacity.
Replacement project is required to reduce the maintenance cost of old
machinery and keep the production going without going without any
obstruction
Replacement of project
Involves replacing some of the old machinery with new machinery of the
same capacity.
Replacement project is required to reduce the maintenance cost of old
machinery and keep the production going without going without any
obstruction
·Diversification of project
•Diversification is generally of two types :
1.Related diversification
2.Unrelated diversification
Diversification is just like new project but benefited from the existing set up
Need to do diversification : to explore market
potential
·Related diversification
1.Making closely related diversification to product line
2.Like manufacturer making wrist watches add time pieces and alarm clock
·Unrelated diversification
1.When a company proposed product range are different from the existing one
