Synopsis

Learn how to (re)structure projects to ensure sustainability using the Engineering Finance(c) methodology and its tool called Techno-Financial Model(c) (TFM).  The seminar aims to inculcate cost consciousness amongst directors and senior and middle management facing heavy responsibilities in a borderless and globalised world and to expose them to the many uses of Techno-Financial Model in considering different Technology or Product options that could optimise returns.

Engineering Finance can be described as the ‘bridge’ that bridges the gap between “Engineering” and “Finance” to structure a cost-efficient project design/plan that is financially viable. This Engineering Finance methodology could also be used to evaluate the impact of “Technology” and “Product” changes on the IRR, i.e. financial viability. It can also be used to identify the project’s Critical Component (CCA) that could undermine the viability of the project. This TFM can also be used to prepare construction budget and O&M (post construction) budget.

Update with new terminologies in Engineering Finance e.g. Cost Efficiency Model, Economic Efficiency, Techno-Financial Model etc. Case studies from Biomass Power Plant to Biodiesel Plant to Mining and Property development.
