Resumen
"La empresa CARTOX se dedica a la fabricación de embalajes de cartón corrugado. En el presente trabajo se realizó un análisis de la factibilidad de modernizar la línea de producción de cartón corrugado. El mismo consiste no solo en el análisis
económico sino también el ingenieril, donde se estudiaron las necesidades particulares de la empresa para tomar las mejores decisiones de implementación y viabilidad operacional.
La corrugadora con la que opera la empresa tiene más de cuarenta años y la tecnología que utiliza se encuentra atrasada, disminuyendo la productividad y calidad de las operaciones. Las corrugadoras que actualmente se ofrecen en el mercado poseen una tecnología que les permite operar a una velocidad mayor y con costos unitarios sustancialmente menores que las antecesoras.
Sumado a esto la capacidad de la corrugadora es insuficiente para el nivel de producción que tiene la empresa, debiendo tercerizar un 27% de la producción de cartón. Por lo tanto, la adquisición de la nueva máquina traerá aparejado menores
costos de producción y mayor capacidad productiva que permitirá poder vender más y dejar de tercerizar.
Teniendo en cuenta los costos asociados a l proyecto, que se componen de las inversiones a realizar en activo fijo y activo de trabajo, y los ingresos esperados, divididos en cuatro grupos: Ahorro por no tercerización, ahorro por menores costos de
producción, nuevas ventas de cajas y nuevas ventas de planchas, se llega a la conclusión que es un proyecto rentable. La tir del proyecto es del 56% mientras que el VAN es de 3.028.648 dólares."
"The Company CARTOX produces corrugated cardboard for packaging. This paper is about the analysis of the feasibility of modernizing a cardboard production line. The document includes both an economic and an engineering analysis, where the particular needs of the company were studied in order to make the best decision regarding implementation and operational viability. The corrugating machine that the company operates today has been more than forty years in service and its technology is out of date. This impairs productivity and lessens the quality of the products. The corrugating machines that the market of offers nowadays possess a technology that allows them to operate at higher speed and lower costs per unit, substantially lower than their predecessors. Moreover, the capacity of the machine is insufficient for the level of production of the company at present. In effect, the company has to outsource approximately 30% of the cardboard production. Therefore, the acquisition of a new machine will bring lower costs of production and increased production capacity, which in turn will allow the company the possibility to sell more cardboard and stop outsourcing. Having assessed the costs associated with the project, consisting of the investments in fix assets and working assets, and the expected income, which can be divided in four groups: savings from ending the outsourcing agreements, savings due to lower production costs, new sales of boxes and new sales of cardboard sheets, the conclusion is that this project is indeed profitable. The IRR of the project is 56%, and the NPV is USD 3,028,648."
