RIGHT DECISION

PHASES OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENTOPPORTUNITY & FEASIBILITY STUDIESACCUMULATEDPROJECT COSTS

POTENTIAL OF
COST SAVINGS

Potential of cost savings in relation to project progress.

Project studies represent a useful tool for successful project development.

The path from the project idea to the investment decision
is often long and difficult. It involves considerable
expenditures by the investor in regard to both time andmoney.

PROJECT DEFINITION

Then, it’s time to propose an overall concept through the:Production capacity, production quality and overall
economic goals can only be realized when the various
individual project elements are intrinsically combined into aholistic technical and financing concept.

• Selection of the technologically possible process routes,
highlighting the most promising process routes on thebasis of specific project conditions.

This is where we can be of assistance. As a competentand experienced engineering, plant-building and lifecycle
partner, we ensure that in every project phase yourresources are applied economically and according to
your requirements. The diagram above illustrates thatwith a clear economic understanding, the investor has anenormous potential for savings. This potential, which canbe realized with our advanced capabilities, may also be
available in later project stages.

Project studies, for example opportunity, pre-feasibility,
feasibility and second-opinion studies, represent a useful
tool to attain an exact project definition. They also serve
to clarify the complex interrelationships within the plant
concept.
The investor, as well as the operator of the plant, profits
from thorough investigations before an investment decision
is made. After all, it is essential to establish a project’s
profitability over a lifecycle that can last decades.
PHASES OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENTFirst, the initial situation has to be examined and definedwith regard to:

YOUR EARNINGPOTENTIAL IS
MAXIMIZED WITH
Primetals Technologies
ON YOUR SIDE

• Market and competition• Raw materials• Site location• Product mix• Capacity• Product and prices• Overall plant layout and logistics

6• Evaluation of the process routes with the help of projectstudies, for example concept and support studies (market
review, energy supply and demand study, engineering
study, laboratory/pilot tests, location and site study, soil
investigation, environmental impact study, benchmark
study, structure of financing, etc.). With the results ofthe studies, the client is in a position to decide on thepreferred configuration.
• Determination of the internal rate of return, payback
period, risk analysis, etc., for the preferred plantconfiguration. For this purpose, an economic evaluation
supports the subsequent pre-feasibility and/or feasibility
study.
Finally, with the above information, the client is in a position
to make the right decision for project implementation withrespect to the existing conditions and requirements. With
the studies mentioned above, the following key information
is available:• Operating and production costs• Consumption figures• Investment budget figures• Economical and financial indices and profitability rates

ECONOMIC VIEW OF PROJECTDEVELOPMENTECONOMIC EVALUATIONS
The main objective of an economic evaluation is to identify
investment opportunities with regard to technologicalsolutions and to gain an accurate picture of key economic
figures. The identification and interpretation of sensitive
parameters through sensitivity and risk analyses aids thedecision-making process for clients and suppliers.
The economic evaluation comprises the scope ofinvestment based on the selected process configuration,
including the net working capital, the production andmarketing costs, and sales revenues. Computing a cash
flow line over a lifetime helps calculate key figures likeinternal rates on total investment and equity.

The calculation of key figures like free cash flow, equitybased cash flow, profitability rates, internal rate of returnon total investment/equity, the contribution margin,
financial ratios and break-even points helps develop a
project through several stages. The results also facilitate
investment promotion and financing, and provide a better
basis for project decisions and implementation by making
the details of investments more transparent.
In the end, the realization of any project requires a generalsurvey from the early beginning.
