innovative ideas topic . this tool helps
encourage every team member to
participate and contribute ideas during
team meetings . successful brainstorming
sessions follow these guidelines.

• Meet regularly to solve work-related problems
– 4 hours/month
• Facilitator trains & helps with meetings

Case Study: Feasibility Study for CNC Spare Parts Workshop
Based on the given information discuss the following:
• Technical study
(daily working hours, daily production, machine utilization,
quality policy, material handling, storages, space layout, etc)
• Economical study
(unit cost, unit price, profit %, CAPEX %, OPEX %,
Value added %, Margin factor %, etc)
• Financial study
(salvage value, cash flow, payback period, NPV, profitability index, IRR, etc)
• Risk study
(break even point, annual demand change ±10%, unit price change ±10%,
material cost change ±10%, profit range, etc).
• Management Study
(vision, values, mission, organization structure, KPI report, etc).

P = F [ 1 / (1 + i)n ]
P = F [P/F, i , n)
Where:
P = Present value
F = Future value
i = (interest) rate of return
n = number of units of time

The decision rule is: Accept the project when the internal rate of return is
equal to or greater than the required rate of return. Reject the project when
the internal rate of return is less than the required rate.

The Internal Rate of Return Method: Summary
Example
You can purchase a building for $350,000. The investment
will generate $16,000 in cash flows (i.e. rent) during the first
three years. At the end of three years you will sell the
building for $450,000. What is the IRR on this investment?

CASE STUDY
A company needs a part which is currently purchased for LE 110/unit. When
studying the possibility of manufacturing the part, the company found that two
alternative processes are available, both give the required specification.
Crude oil –
Heating oil – Gold –
Gasoline – Silver –
Natural gas – Copper –
Gain
Loss
• For example, consider a payoff diagram for a gold producer
• The horizontal axis shows the gold price and the vertical axis shows
the gain or loss to the corporation
Gain
$290
Loss
• The starting point, at the origin, is the current price of gold (assumed
to be $290 per ounce)
• The diagonal line shows the impact of a change in the gold price –
increasing prices represent a gain, and vice versa
Gain
$290
Loss
• A fall in the gold price to $270 would represent a loss to the
corporation of $5m
• The finance manager’s role is to protect against this possibility using
risk management techniques
