Abstract

A comprehensive feasibility study should continue with a technical analysis if the market analysis, as explained in the chapter, defines a sufficiently large market share for the product to be manufactured through a foreign direct investment project. The technical analysis as the second stage of a feasibility study aims at determining whether or not the production of the marketable product is technically feasible in terms of what the production technology will be, how the production process is to be designed, and where the production site would be located in the country selected. This chapter covers topics and discussions about technical aspects of establishing a production facility. Thus, it answers the question of whether the production of a product that is determined to be marketable is technically possible and, if so, how the production facility should be designed. If the investment project is technically feasible, then an implementation plan through project programing techniques of network analysis is developed for both estimating the total cost of fixed investment and planning the establishment of the plant or factory required. Thus, at the end of the technical analysis stage, the use of project programing techniques is explained for planning the implementation of an investment project.
