Proyecto de factibilidad para la construcción de una fábrica de vidrio en la ciudad de Loja

Abstract

Abstract: The present study of viability for the construction of a glass factory in Loja city has as general objective to know the costs of the implementation of a glass production line. For this purpose, we first investigated about silica sand reserves in the south of Ecuador, consecutively through a market survey we identified the products to be manufactured, the marketed as well as their costs; the next stage was to carried out a the technical study; in this section, the qualitative method by points was used to determine the sector where the factory will be built, also the resources needed for production such as machinery, equipment and human resources. Once all this information has been collected, a financial study is carried out in order to finally determine production costs through the analysis of economic values such as TIR, VAN, cost-benefit ratio and the respective sensitivity analyzes. It is concluded that this project becomes viable when the production is massive and with a capacity of utilization of the plant superior to 90%, having as a limitation the demand of the product, since after covering the national market, the surplus of product would have to be exported.
