Estudio de factibilidad para la creación de un taller automotriz, enfocado al mantenimiento preventivo y correctivo de vehículo livianos, en la parroquia Calderón, cantón Quito, provincia de Pichincha

Abstract

An exhaustive study was carried out, covering various technical aspects related to the implementation of an automotive workshop in the Quito area, Pichincha province, Calderón parish (Carapungo). To analyze the supply and demand of automotive workshops, surveys were conducted among the population and nearby workshops. Additionally, a technical investigation was conducted to assess the equipment, infrastructure, personnel, types of services, capacity, organization, and location of the facility using qualitative methods. A probabilistic sampling plan, specifically simple random sampling, was used to determine the size of the representative sample of the target population. Statistical inferences were made considering the population size, confidence level, and margin of error, using the INEC as a source of data information. An economic study was conducted, which included projections of income, costs, and expenses associated with the establishment of the automotive workshop. Through economic evaluation using indicators such as Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR), the viability of establishing an automotive mechanical workshop in the mentioned location was determined. The necessary investment for the automotive workshop involves allocating financial resources to acquire suitable equipment and technology. This investment is divided into fixed assets, such as tools, machinery, and specialized diagnostic tools. In addition, fixed and variable costs are considered, and revenues are projected based on demand and service prices. An exhaustive analysis was conducted to determine the technical and functional requirements of the automotive workshop. This included aspects such as the distribution and sizing of work areas, implementation of safety and environmental regulations, and ensuring a high-quality maintenance service. A comprehensive guide was provided in key areas such as human resources, engineering, and administrative management. Regarding the infrastructure of the automotive workshop, its name and precise geographical location were described in detail. Comprehensive information was provided on the machinery, equipment, tools, human resources, materials, and supplies necessary for the efficient operation of the workshop. Once the objectives have been met, the results demonstrate the feasibility and profitability of the project, thus supporting the convenience of its implementation. The creation of the TALLER AUTOMOTRIZ C. G, will not only contribute to the generation of employment, but will also improve the quality of life of both investment partners and customers who will benefit from specialized diagnostics and automotive services in the city of Quito, specifically in the parish of Calderón (Carapungo)
