Feasibility Reports

These discuss the practicality, and possibly the suitability and

compatibility of a given project, both in physical and economic
terms. They also discuss the desirability of the proposed project
from the viewpoint of those who would be affected by it. Report
writers must come to a conclusion, and must recommend that
some action is taken or is not taken and/or that some choice is
adopted or is rejected.

What Points Should I Bear in Mind?

You must be unbiased and your approach must be logical. Be sure

that you know the precise purpose of the proposed project and
also its scope.

What Would be a Suitable Format?

This is a suitable format for a feasibility report:

1. Abstract

2. Summary

3. Contents list (including a separate list of illustrations)

4. Glossary

5. Introduction (purpose and scope)

6. Discussion (the main body providing the evidence - use

appendixes if necessary)

7. Conclusions (flowing naturally from the discussion)

8. Recommendations (flowing naturally from the conclusions)

9. References (if necessary)

10. Appendixes (see section 6).

Sometimes sections 1 and 2 are combined.

What Is A Feasibility Report And Its Primary Objectives?

This is formal document for management use, briefly enough and

sufficiently non technical to be understandable by high level
management. There is no standard or formal format for the
preparation of feasibility report. Analyst usually decide on a
format that suits particular user and system.

The primary objectives of this report is to inform about the

following matters.
1: What the proposed system will achieve.
2: Who will be involved in operating the proposed system in the
organization.
3: The benefits that system will give.
4: The organizational changes needs for its successful
implementation.
5: The estimated cost of the system.

All these are given in technical and simple language and the
beginning of the report as an executive summary. It is followed by
the detail feasibility report which contains the following items.

An introduction with in outline of the proposal

A broad data flow diagram of the existing system.
A modified data flow diagram.
All possible alternatives solution.
Merits and demerits of each solution.
Any new equipment to be install or any new resources required
for proposed system.
Expected benefits of the proposed system.
Cost of the system.
New procedures to be implemented and environment of the
persons in operating new system.
Any anticipation problem in implementation.
When these steps are followed, it makes the recommendation
easier to approve.

The objective environmental assessment is to identify and asses

all the likely environmental and social impacts of the project
components. Development of a Environmental management plan
(EMP)address the requirement's for successfully mitigating the
likely adverse impacts and identifies the post project monitoring
requirements needed for the successful implementation of the
suggested mitigation measures. It is needed to make the project
environmentally sound and socially acceptable. The institutional
arrangements needed for implementing the mitigation plan.
Mitigation measures are being suggested for those project
activities, which have been found to have major or moderate
environmental impacts .
Environmental and social issues associated with the laying of
pipeline and operation phases have been asses ed as minor,
shorterm and mitigatable . Positive impacts have also been
identified . It is found that the positive impacts outweigh the
negative impacts arising during the laying of pipeline and
operation of the project.
The main issues arising in the laying phase are generation of
noise, traffic diversions - during laying of distribution system, dust
release and accumulation of debris near the sides of the rods
street.
The assessment of construction phase impacts of th project
indicates that all these impacts are only shorterm term and
possible to be contained.Practices can further mitigate these.

Great Answer Report
You've asked about the feasibility report and its primary
objectives. You want to know that what benefits are in it. This
term is used in business and accounting very frequently. So you
must know about it.
In fact feasibility reports means to analyse some project that the
project will be capable of being accomplished or not. And this
study of any project is called its feasibility report.
I am expecting that you've understood the main purpose of
feasibility report.
Now I should mention its primary objectives. In fact, there are a
lot of things which are dependent upon the feasibility report. For
example, it would tell that the project would be suitable or not. It
will also mention that the expenses which will be incurred on
some specific project are adjustable with the cost of project or
not. So in this case you can understand its primary objectives. If
anyone of them is not fulfilled then the project will not be
undertaken. And this is the main purpose of making feasibility
report. I hope you have understood it. And now you can also
teach someone about it. So do try to enhance your knowledge
whenever you get a chance to do so. Thanks. Seeme

In simple words the feasibility study can be defined as the
preliminary study that is being conducted to examine whether a
certain project is capable of being done in a practical and useful
way or in another words in an efficient and effective way, and the
outcome of this study helps in the decision whether to proceed
with the project or not. If we examine from another angle there is
another objective behind the feasibility study and i.e. what
possible problems that can occur during the project and based on
this analysis some best possible alternative solutions are
designed and recommendation on the best alternative solution is
also formed. A standard feasibility study may include following
feasibility studies.
(1) Economic feasibility study.
(2) Technical feasibility study.
(3) Marketing feasibility study.
(4) Cultural feasibility study.
(5) Legal feasibility study.
(6) Schedule feasibility study.
(7) Organizational feasibility study.
As we can examine that the feasibility study is a very broader so
from the above explanation it is understandable that the
feasibility study prime objective is to examine whether a project
can be undertaken or not.
