This document outlines the key factors to consider in a technical analysis for projects. It discusses evaluating the technology choices based on capacity, cost, and development. It also covers assessing technical arrangements like collaboration support and agreements. Additionally, it mentions analyzing materials, utilities, product mix, plant capacity, and location based on inputs, markets, resources, and infrastructure availability. The purpose is to ensure technical feasibility and optimal project formulation.

1. TECHNICAL ANALYSIS OF
PROJECTS
By: Prateek P Pawar

2. PURPOSE
 To ensure that the project is technically feasible.
 To facilitate the most optimal formulation of projects in terms of technology,
size, location and so on.

3. TECHNOLOGY
The choice of technology is influenced by a variety of considerations:
 Plant capacity
 Principal units
 Investment outlay and production cost
 Use by other units
 Product mix
 Latest developments
 Ease of absorption

4. TECHNICAL ARRANGEMENTS
 The nature of support provided by the collaborators
 Process and performance guarantees
 The price of technology
 Period of collaboration
 Assistance and restrictions by collaboration
 Assignment of the agreement
 Approach to be adopted in “Force majeure”

5. MATERIALS INPUTS AND UTILITIES
Materials input and utilities may be classified into four broad categories
 Raw materials
Agricultural products
Mineral products
livestock and forest products
Marine products
 Processed industrial materials and components
 Auxiliary materials and factory supplies
 Utilities

6. PRODUCT MIX
The choice of product mix is guided by market requirements. In production
most of the items, variations in size and quality are aimed at satisfying board
range of customers

7. PLANT CAPACITY
Plant capacity refers to the volume or number of units that can be
manufactured during a given period.
Several factors have a bearing on the capacity decision
 Technological requirement
 Input constraints
 Investment cost
 Market conditions
 Resources of firm
 Governmental policies

8. LOCATION AND SITE
The choice of location is influenced by:
 Proximity to raw materials and markets
 Availability of infrastructure
 Labor situation
 Governmental policies
 Other factors
