The comment and suggestions on the study, kindly adhere to the subsequent framework for your

feasibility study report on an All-in-One desktop and laptop computer assembly plant in DEIC Hi-tech
industry, Ethiopia.

I. Executive Summary

1. Evaluate the feasibility of establishing an assembly plant for All-in-One desktop and laptop
computers in Ethiopia. Key aspects to consider include financial planning, workforce
requirements, workshop and facility needs, investments (both fixed and variable costs), and
overall project scope. Your study should encompass market, technical, and financial aspects to
assist stakeholders in decision-making.

2. Suggestions should involve securing funds from local financial institutions and potentially
through foreign investments or partnerships.

3. Estimate the personnel needed for manufacturing, such as assembly technicians, engineers,
administrative staff, and sales/marketing teams.

4. Incorporate the necessary training for local technicians, particularly in assembly, quality control,
and troubleshooting.

5. Encompass proposed plant facilities and investments, including fixed costs involving land,
construction, equipment setup, and infrastructure; variable costs encompass materials, labor,
and utilities.

6. Highlight workshops and assembly lines, along with inventory storage, testing, and quality
control stations.

II. Market Analysis and Interpretation

1. Present the outcomes of the market analysis, reviewing past and current demand for
computers, emphasizing key sectors (education, government, businesses) displaying increasing
needs.

2. As competitive advantage consider current market trends indicate a growing interest in


domestically assembled products due to cost savings, availability of after-sales services, and
economic support initiatives.

3. Forecast the demand for computers in Ethiopia, expected to grow at a compound annual growth
rate (CAGR) of 8-12% over the next 3-5 years. This projection should consider the increasing
digitalization, particularly in educational and governmental sectors.

4. Align production capacity with forecasted demand, targeting an initial annual production of
15,000 units. This can be scaled up based on demand growth and resource availability.
5. Outline the market entry strategy for your product to penetrate the market, initial strategies
should include competitive pricing, local partnerships, and a focus on customer support. Long-
term strategies should emphasize continuous product improvement, brand recognition, and
exploring export opportunities.

III. Technical Analysis and Interpretation

1. Include the technology and machinery required for the assembly plant, encompassing basic
assembly and testing equipment, specialized workbenches, and quality control devices.

2. A strategically located facility, approximately 10,000-15,000 square meters, is necessary for


production, storage, and administrative purposes.

3. Detail the main material inputs, computer components sourced from international suppliers.

4. Plan workforce training with OEM involvement to ensure proficiency in technology assembly
and troubleshooting.

5. Propose technology transfer through a training program with the OEMs (Original Equipment
Manufacturers), including initial on-site training followed by ongoing skill development.

IV. Financial Analysis and Interpretation

1. Mention equipment sourcing from reliable manufacturers specializing in electronics assembly,


considering options for both purchase and leasing to minimize upfront costs.

2. Financing sources should include a mix of loans, joint ventures, and private investments.
Consider local banks, international financial institutions, and potential investment partners.

3. Assess financial profitability indicators using projected cash flows, where financial indicators
(NPV, IRR, and ROI) indicate the project's viability with an appealing rate of return, provided the
projected market growth aligns with current estimates.

N.B. The feasibility study must furnish stakeholders with a comprehensive overview to evaluate the
project's potential and the requisite steps towards execution. Each section of analysis instills confidence
in the project's feasibility by addressing the aspects of demand, technical viability, and financial
robustness.
