CHAPTER 1 PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING INTRODUCTION Although the government claimed for an upsurge of our economy for the last two years, it cannot be denied that the employment is still the pressing problem of society. Majority of the graduates in colleges and universities fail to have a good paying job. Many sought refuge in other countries were graduates of prestigious courses, such as engineering, commerce, education, and others, land as laborers, and domestic helpers. In the local labor market, many graduates enter in the fields different from the courses they pursued in college such as accountants employed as cashiers working as casuals in government offices and others. The introduction of labor contracting even added to the woes of these graduates. The system terminated the chance of the graduates to get a job with benefits and security of tenure. They are employed only for a period of five to six months and are terminated and replaced by another batch of five to six months contract labor. This difficulty to get a job had led others who have the means to venture in business of their own. Venturing in a small or medium scale business would not be as simple as registering the business, securing the necessary permit and licenses, and start the business operation, in this concept, many tried and failed due to lack of proper analysis and preparation, most of all no feasibility study has been conducted. At present the most simple and easily managed business is Vulcanizing and Repair Shop. This business has become the most lucrative and these are small time businessmen who want to engage into this kind of business but they do not have enough knowledge in running the business.
In Gapan City, there are more than thousands of tricycle units passing the streets in Gapan City and increased the doubly in a five year period from 3,600 units in 1992, in the year 2003 based on the legalized volume of tricycles from the record of Gapan City Tricycle Franchising and Legalization Department this figure becomes 4,200 units of tricycle registered in the City. From the above statistics, considering only the legalized volume of tricycle units in Gapan City, there are 21,900 tricycles tires rolling the streets every day. The average life span of a brand new tire is six (6) months such that for the whole year, from the 7,300 units, there are 43,800 tires consumed annually where a brand new tire cost an average of P320.00 per piece. This statistics provided an idea for the researcher to conduct a feasibility study on a business that would help the tricycle operators minimize their growing operational expenses as brought by the increasing prices of gasoline, oil and spare parts. The researcher conducted some surveys on tricycle using recapped tires they are using are from a sole tire recapping in Gapan City, Nueva Ecija. No one among the fourteen (14) stores selling motorcycles spare parts and tires within Gapan City, Nueva Ecija that has been interviewed by the researcher carry vulcanized tires. A comparative computation was conducted by the researchers in order to get a birds eye view on the economic difference between a vulcanized tire and a brand new tire. If the average lifespan of a vulcanized tire is 4.5 months at P180.00 per tire, its expenses per month is P53.00. If the average lifespan of a recapped tire is 4.5 months at P180.00 per tire, its expenses per monthwould be P40.00. The difference between the two is P13.00 per month or a 24.5 percent difference making the vulcanized tire more economical to use. Although a motorcycle vulcanizing shop is already in operation in Gapan City, Nueva Ecija, the business is not yet fully tapped since the existing one cater only to tricycle drivers who bring their
carcass in the establishment for vulcanizing. No actual carcass collection system or marketing strategy is undertaken. From the above statistics, the researcher came out for this study. A Feasibility Study of Establishing a Vulcanizing and Repair Shop in Gapan City, Nueva Ecija.

CHAPTER II REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES This chapter presents review of some studies and available literature which are in a way related to the proposed study.
FOREIGN LITERATURE The history of rubber tires began in 1839 when Charles Goodyear discovered the secret of vulcanization. Although the first air-inflated tire was not built until 1845. A young Scottish engineer, Robert W. Thompson, filled rubber tubes with air, encased them in leather and put them on carriage wheels. Thompsons tire where not strong enough to last long or wear well. In 1888, John Dunlop, an Irish veterinarian built a pneumatic tire for his sons bicycles. This was successful and Dun lop entered the business of making bicycles tires. At the beginning of 20th century, tires were made of single tub bolted to the wheel through crescent shaped rims. George W. Rium described how tires are manufactured. According to him, rubber, natural or synthetic, is compounded in a mill between two (2) revolving smooth, hollow steel rolls. Carbon, black sulfur, pigments (such as zinc oxide) and accelerators are included to give the rubber an added strength and wear, heat and aging resistance. A Banbury mixer which contains rotating knives is a rapid and efficient means of mixing these ingredients. When all ingredients have been uniformly needed into the rubber, the mixture is removed from the roll mill in a long thin sheet. Tetile fiber, and for special uses thin steel wires are used to give the tire body strength and resilience. Reylon, nylon, and cotton are most often sued and all new artificial fibers are being tested. Square woven fabrics are combined with
the thin sheets of rubber on a 3-roll colander unto a single sheet, which is out to shape or place in rolls for the various steps in tire making. The rubberized fabrics are cut on the bias into diagonal strips. A tire is made up two (2) main parts, the carcass and the tread. The tread is producted by feeding the rubber into an extruding machine, which forms it to shape and size. The sidewall rubber can be made as part of the same piece or extruded separately. High tensile steel wire is then coated with rubber and formed into sheets to form the head. The tire builder lays several plies of rubberized fabrics on revolving cylinder shaped like a drum. After (2) plies are placed around the drum, the bead are placed on top and additional plies are added to the drum. The tread and sidewall are wrapped around the drum over the rubberized fabric. The drum is collapsed and the heavy rubber-fabric body removed. It is then ready for shaping and curing. The tire is place in pneumatic press where hydraulic pressure compress the heavy casing into shape. A specially contoured tube, called a curing bag, is placed inside the curing die and inflated. These forces softened rubber against the design of the mold to give the sharply outlined design of the treat surface. High pressure steam is sued to cure the tire at a temperature of about 3000F for about 45 minutes. New types of tire molds have the air bag on air bladder, built into the machine rather than as a separate piece of equipment. Richard A. Riley, a chairman of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company stressed the need to shape the tread of the tire in accordance to the terrain as a tire safety measures. He said that conventional tires provide good traction under most conditions perform relatively poorly on smooth surface all season tires have wide grooves and tread patterns designed to penetrate snow and provide good traction. To reduce skidding, some tires are provided with studs embedded on the tread. Studded tires are, however illegal because they tend to damaged paved roads. Worn thread do not grip the road well and increases possibilities of skids. Tires should be replaced when their tread had
worn down 1/16 inch (1.6mm) this depth is indicated by a built in wear bars that show up as smooth horizontal bands across the tread. This depth is also an ideal wear for possible recapping. Since recapping is in itself a method of recycling used tires, it is worthy to note the words of Akiyama Tadasuke. He said that recycling can refer to variety of ways of refusing resource and products, from the recycling of home garbage to the systematic recovery and reuse of products of other materials and processing of industrial waste by government or industry. With regard to used tires, the researcher has been trying to develop practical methods of disposing of the millions of worned tires scrapped each year. Some of these tires are ground up, and the rubber is reclaimed for use in new rubber products. Some are used as artificial reefs on ocean bottoms, to provide heavens for fish. Still, others are ground up and used in asphalt for paving. Another method of disposing the tires is to use them as a source of energy. By burning them in a specially designed pollution free incinerators, old tires could become valuable energy resource. But this method is extremely costly (a synthetic rubber fuel containing an oxygen-rich chemical is used in rockets). Aside from studies and literature about tires and recycling, some studies about marketing or business venture is important to note in this study. On entrepreneurship, to enter into a new venture necessities environmental assessment, the economic environmental plays a vital role in the success or failure of any new venture. Too often, it becomes obvious that a little effort was made to determine whether the economic environment was friendly or hostile to a specific venture. Kuratco recommended the following to assess economic environment in order to avoid pitfalls: 1. How many firms are in this venture?
2. Do the firms vary or are they similar? 3. Are they in one area or widely spread? 4. Do the firms serve only to the domestic market? 5. What is the competitive nature of this business?
Answer to these question provide an overall picture of the business eliminate within which a new ventures must realize that certain attitudes and perceptions from prospective clienteles are needed for proper assessment of the environment. Michael E. Porter recommends other useful steps that can assist an entrepreneur in examining any new venture: 1. Adequate definition of the industry for the new venture. 2. Analyze the competition. 3. Determine the strength and characteristics of suppliers. 4. Establish the value added measure of the new venture. 5. Project the market size for the particular industry.
LOCAL LITERATURE The role, tasks, and responsibilities of management do not actually vary, to a significant extent, among organizations, instead, it is the manager with his own unique sets of attitudes and norms and the kind of subordinates he handles that differ widely in all organizations. Andres discourses on the Filipino values and management practices in the Philippines as he believes that the Filipino entrepreneur
has its unique style of management according to Andres, the Filipino manager needs from his subordinates. JUSTIFICATION OF THIS STUDY The researcher found out that the project is feasible and viable and assure that this study is not duplicated or copied from other studies thus this study is original and it is the product of combined effort or the researchers. The scope of this study has similarity and differences to other studies. It is similar in term of techniques used in data gathering and also in treatment of data, but differs in term of explanation and meaning. It also differs in the content of the study, and also its location and capitalization.

Observation they observed that it is necessary to organize the business in the form of a single proprietorship because it allows the proprietor to have different control over the business. 3. Library Technique was also conducted by the researchers in order to furnish all the needed data that will be a big help to the study. Published books, magazines, journals and internet in
personal computer were used in this study, in this study, in order to find out the difficult problems involved in this research study. TREATMENT OF THE DATA The following financial methods of evaluating the feasibility of a certain project were utilized by the researchers.
1. RETURN ON INVESTMENT Foremost among investors is the rate that these would give. This significance rate of return promise by investment project when investors consider the time value of the investment. ROI = Annual Net Income Total Investment
2. PAYBACK PERIOD Measures the length of time required to recover the amount of initial investment it is the time interval between the time of initial outlay and the full recovery of the investment. Payback = Net Investment Annual Cash Return 3. PRESENT VALUE ANALYSIS It is the excess of the present of the cash inflows generated by the project over the amount of the initial investment. It is the discounted cash flows approach to investment.
It was a required discount rate to find the present value of the project cash flows. If, after deducting the original investment from the sum of equal to or greater than zero, then the study is acceptable.
CHAPTER IV PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRATATION OF DATA This chapter consist the entire content of the study organization and management, technical, marketing, and financial aspects of the project. Special mention is made concerning potential problems, and social desirability of the proposed study. A. Organization and Management Aspect This business will start on a small case basis. This is a single proprietorship business which will supply the operate as vulcanizing and repair shop. It is usual in this kind of business that the manager will directly supervise the workers. PERSONNEL WORKERS The organizational structure of the business will be composed of the following personnel and workers: 1. Manager / Owner 2. Secretary / Bookkeeper / Cashier 3. Vulcanizers 4. Wheel / Tire Repairmen 5. Shopkeeper / Helper ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE It is usual for this kind of organization to use the line type of organizational structure from where there is a direct flow of authority from the top position to its subordinates. A
characteristics of this this type is the superior subordinate relationship wherein a superior delegates authority to a subordinate who in turn delegates authority to another subordinate thus forming a line from the very top of the lowest level of the organizational structure. Line type of organization is the simplest form of organization types, hence it is easily understood by its members. Every person knows from whom he receives his order and to whom to report. A person with line authority knows what he is expected from him and he is responsible for the unit to which he is expected or assigned to function for the attainment of the goals of the enterprise. The proposed project, being on a small scale will have simple organizational structure.

MARKETING ASPECT A business organization such as that of an vulcanizing and repair shop operates on a very competitive organization. Business uses the limited resources available to them as well as for the limited markets of their services. In such situation a project must have a clear idea of the role which it plays in society. It should always aim to offer better quality services that of its competitors for this is the only deciding factor in which a consumer could decide because the prices of the services in this company does not vary with each other. Also the best suited marketing strategy as well as the proper advertisement procedures was revealed in this part. MARKET STUDY In Gapan City, there are only few vulcanizing and repair shops offering a business which is something big and unique. The business is different from the vulcanizing shops shown in pathways of the mainroads (Bangketa). The minimum number of vulcanizing stand is five (5) sets and two (2) sets of wheel balancing equipment are available in the shop, with the rate of increase tricycles in the city, there is a need to install a vulcanizing shop, which is big and has enough space to accommodate at least five customers at a time. According to Land Transportation Office there are at least 5,200 tricycles registered in Gapan City alone aside from the tricycle moving/operating in the adjacent town of Gapan like San Isidro, San Leonardo, and Penaranda. In this situation, the researchers believed that there is a big market.
Market of the Product The primary market place of the business of San Vicente, Gapan City other nearby places also the target market. The manager himself will transact with the tricycle drivers in Gapan and in other nearby places like San Leonardo, San Isidro, and Penaranda, Nueva Ecija wherein there are many existing tricycle driving in the streets of Gapan for the vulcanizing service and repair. Marketing Strategies On the store site the business will simply place a billboards and the numerous poster and banners will be located in different places. The main marketing strategy to be used is by informing the tricycle drivers about the shop and offering lower prices of the products. There is no need for the proponent to advertise the shop eagerly because there is a big demand in vulcanizing and repair business in the City.
Supple and Demand Analysis Market Demand. The proponent considers the analysis of supply and demand of the project. As per survey, the demand for vulcanizing and repair shop is one of the great demands the tricycle in the city. In this connection there will be no problem as far as the demand for the services offered by the shop is concerned. According to the present vulcanizing shop owners (small time) this project is still blooming, thereby allowing a bigger demand for the future and still giving an opportunity for earning for those who are interested in getting into this kind of business. Market Supply. Supply and materials to be used in the operation of the business are not considered a problem because there are many equipment and materials available for purchase nearest the project,
therefore, there is no limitation on the source of supply in operating the said business. Gapan City, being one of the business centers in the province have enough of supplies and materials for vulcanizing and repair shop where materials for the project can easily be secured.
TECHNICAL ASPECT This part of the study was consisted of the necessities in handling the product and it also discuss the store site and the renovation of the shop building.
Location The location of the shop should be in that can reach by many people. The place should have a small workplace to accommodate customers and other tricycle drivers. The store site will be located at San Vicente, Gapan City where anybody in the area could access the shops. The vicinity map of the store was presented in Figure 4. Building Renovation It is estimated that the shop to be renovated will cost P6,000.00 pesos that means this amount was necessary in the renovation of the building shop. The shop site will be renovated in the description appropriate for the vulcanizing and repair services, 5 working places for the vulcanizing and 2 sets for wheel balancing and repair shop. The office of the manager was build inside the shop and the cashier windows as well. The store area should be at least 8 meters wide.
Source of the Products The main source of the products are the leading suppliers of vulcanizing materials in Metro Manila that offers a low wholesale price which means lower cost of the products.
Machineries and Equipment The following are the equipment needed by the project 1. Air Compressor. It is necessary in providing air for the tire when it is already vulcanized. 2. Calculators / Adding Machine. It is usually used by the cashiers and sales clerk for the computation of the sold items. 3. Healing plate (stall). This equipment is important/necessary in heating the rubber strip in order to cover the damaged part of the tire. 4. Lighter / Matches. These items are also needed in lightning the heating plate with diesel. 5. Wheel Balancing Equipment. This in needed in repairing the rim of the tire when the tire is not already circular in nature (oblong tire). 6. Drum. This is necessary in locating the damaged part of the tire (butas). 7. Mechanical Tool Set. This is very important in loosing and fixing the metal screw of the tire. 8. Rubber Strip (Adhesive). This is the main material used in covering the broken interior of the tire.

CHAPTER V SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS, ANF RECOMMENDATIONS This chapter deals with the summary of findings, the conclusions and the recommendations for the successful management of the business.
SUMMARY This study wants to find out the feasibility study of vulcanizing and repair shop in Gapan City. This study deals with the four aspects of management.
Management Aspect This business will be formed as a single proprietorship. This type of management was adopted because it is easy to start and terminate, profit belongs entirely to the owner and the ownership is vested only to one person. The type of organization used in this project is the line type where there is a direct flow of authority from the top position to the subordinate levels.
Marketing Aspect The best suited marketing strategy as well as the proper advertisement procedure was revealed in this part. In Gapan City, there are only few vulcanizing and repair shops offering a business which is something big and unique. This business is different from the vulcanizing shops shown in pathways of the main roads (Bangketa). The minimum number of vulcanizing stand is five (5) sets and two (2) sets of wheel balancing equipment are available in the shop, with the rate of increase tricycles in the city, there is a need to install a vulcanizing shop, which is big and has enough space to accommodate at least five customers at a time. According to Land Transportation Office there are at least 5,200 tricycles registered in Gapan City alone aside from the tricycle moving/operating in the adjacent town of Gapan like San Isidro, San Leonardo, and Penaranda. In this situation, the researchers believed that there is a big market. The primary market place of the business of San Vicente, Gapan City other nearby places also the target market. The manager himself will transact with the tricycle drivers in Gapan and in other nearby places like San Leonardo, San Isidro, and Penaranda, Nueva Ecija wherein there are many existing tricycle driving in the streets of Gapan for the vulcanizing service and repair. On the store site the business will simply place a billboards and the numerous poster and banners will be located in different places. The main marketing strategy to be used is by informing the tricycle drivers about the shop and offering lower prices of the products. There is no need for the proponent to advertise the shop eagerly because there is a big demand in vulcanizing and repair business in the City.

They should hire qualified and skilled workers in the business so that they can carry out business in order to make the products and services more attractive. 3.
