AB  - With the objective of determining the market viability of Matri-Gen, an animal-based collagen, the following table shows the results of the study. Two target markets were identified-the research organizations and pharmaceutical firms. To ensure that Matri-Gen will be reached nationwide, the company will team up with a distributor to aid in the products marketing. The summary of sales plan forecasts that Matri-Gen will have a high demand from its start of operation in 2001 and it continues to increase with time. The technical study for the production of Matri-Gen results to the utilization of machines for the cutting, dialysis, centrifugation, lyophilization, autoclaving, and bottling and sealing processes. The sterilization, dissolving, filtering, quality control, and packaging processes are done manually.  Annual Production Schedule suggests the utilization of two lab technicians only since most of the processes are machine-dictated and the One-Worker-Multiple-Machine (OWMM) model is asked in the assignment of tasks. Note that Production is done per batch which yields 20 kg of Collagen. The working days are required for years 2001 to 2005 are as follows: 54, 113, 173, 233, and 295; while the resulting numbers of batches are 8, 17, 27, 40 and 54 respectively. Note that the production plan allows overlapping of batches for as long as the sequence of operations are not disturbed, since some processes need to be performed first before another process follows. Workers shall have a day off every after 5 days of work. There shall be two twelve-hour shifts per day depending on the need. The facility to house Collagen production shall be located at #217 Naranj Street, Novaliches, Quezon City. A one-storey building shall be constructed with the following space requirements: 72 sq.m to house the production lab, office, restroom and maintenance room; a 9 sq. m aisle to provide an access to the production laboratory and approximately 36 sq. m parking space for employees? cars, supplier?s truck and distributor?s truck.  The company, with due consideration of its immediate priorities, shall suitable be organized as a corporation. By registering as a corporation, the company shall enjoy the relative ease by which capital may be pooled and loan financing may be attracted. As a corporation, the stockholders are situated at the topmost part of the hierarchy. The stockholders vote among themselves to decide on the constituency of the Board of Directors. A General Manager is hired from outside. Reporting directly to him are the Accountant, Production/Quality Control Manager, Marketing Assistant and the Logistics/Warehouse Manager. The Production/Quality Control Manager, Marketing Assistant and the Logistics/Warehouse manager. The Production/Quality Control Manager assumes the responsibility for the 2 Laboratory Technicians, a janitor, and a Mechanic (occasional). The Security Guards (3) report to the Logistics/Warehouse Manager. Benefits such as thirteenth-month pay shall be given, along with other packages in kind such as sacks of rice and grocery supplies during mid-year and Christmas. The Financial Study is conducted to determine the financial feasibility of the mass production of Matri-Gen (Animal Based Collagen). The amount of loan is 50% of the total project cost for the first year--Php 9,970,874, which amounts to Php 3 751 416. The remaining 50% is financed by the stockholders. Upon evaluation of the different financing institutions, Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) was chosen to finance the loan at 13% during the first year and at the current interest rate during the succeeding years. The amount of loan at 13% during the first year and at the current interest rate during the succeeding years. The amount of loan is pegged at 70% of the appraised value of the collateral, which is a real estate property of the major stockholders. The Net Present Value of the venture is P15,685,800.12 with an IRR of 279.65%. Note that the IRR exceeds the minimum attractive rate of return which is at 60%. Initial investment is expected to be recovered in a span of 1.393 years. Advantages: a good substitute to imported collagen, promotion of researcher in the country, utilization of land which is neither commercial nor agricultural, utilization of previous waste materials such as pig?s Achilles' Tendons, increase in employment, additional taxes for the local and national government, and increase in revenue of suppliers and service utilities. Disadvantages: Conversion of land from residential to commercial, and production of waste. As the advantage outweighs all disadvantages, it is concluded that the venture is profitable to the society.
