• A feasibility study is an analysis of the viability of an
idea through a disciplined and documented process
of thinking through the idea from its logical
beginning to its logical end.
• Feasibility study is carried out in order to assess the
viability of a new project
• It is primary and most important thing in
development of a project

• Gives focus to the project.
• Narrows the business alternatives.
• Identifies new opportunities.
• Identifies reasons not to proceed.
• Provides valuable information for “go/no go”
decision.
• Increases probability of business success by
identifying weaknesses early.
• Provides documentation that the idea was
thoroughly investigated.

• Operational feasibility
1. Useful for identifying operational problems to be solved,
and their urgency
2. The “PIECES” framework
P-Performance ,I-Information, E-economy , C-control
E-efficiency ,I-Information, S-services

 Market Feasibility
1. Determine facility needs.
2. Suitability of production technology.
3. Availability and suitable of site.
4. Raw materials.
5. Other inputs

• Financial/Economic Feasibility
1. Estimate the total capital requirements.
2. Estimate equity and credit needs.
3. Budget expected costs and returns
• Organizational/Managerial Feasibility
1. Business Structure
2. Business Founders
• Environmental feasibility
Environmental impact and their assessment

Types of feasibility
 Legal feasibility
1. Is the project legally feasible?
2. Legal requirements.

• A feasibility report is the results of a feasibility
study. This report details whether or not a project
should be undertaken and the reasons for that
decision.
• Report Content
1. Introduction/Executive Summary
2. Background
3. outline of project
4. Methodology/method of analysis
5. Overview of alternatives
6. Conclusion
7. Recommendation

1. It state objective of the report and of the project
2. It should refer terms of references
3. Also it should state the constraints within which it
has been conducted
4. Executive summary:
This should concise summary of the major
recommendations of the report within 6 pages so that
it quickly understood by senior executive

• Some feasibility reports may require some background
discussion in order to make the rest of the report
meaningful to readers.
• Describe your proposed plan in sufficient detail state if
it worked elsewhere and how it was implemented
• Background on the Situation. For many feasibility
reports, you'll need to discuss the problem, need, or
opportunity that has brought about this report.

• Outline of system involves description of project
• List type and quality of product(s) or service(s) to be
marketed.
• Outline the general business model (ie. how the
business will make money).
• Include the technical processes, size, location, and
kind of inputs.
• Specify the time horizon from the time the project
is initiated until it is up and running at capacity.

• It involves discussion on method of analysis for
feasibility study
• Return on Investment (ROI) analysis
For comparing overall profitability
ROI = Estimated lifetime benefits - Estimated
lifetime costs
Estimated lifetime costs
or
ROI = Net Present value / Estimated lifetime
costs

STRENGTHS WEAKNESS
MAINTAINING THESE STREGTHS
What can do for maintain these
strengths?
OVERCOMING THESE WEAKNESS
What should I do to overcome these
weakness?
OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THESE
OPPORTUNITIES
What can I do to take the advantage of
these opportunities?
OVERCOMING THREATS
What can i do to overcome these threats?
SWOT Analysis :-

• Possible alternatives
• “Sticking with the current system” should always be
studied as one alternative
• Different business processes for solving the problems
• Different levels/types of computerization for the
solutions
• Advantages and disadvantages of the alternatives
• The major possible alternatives should be discussed
and compared using clearly defined criteria.

◦ Identify alternative equity sources and capital availability
 Producers, Local Investors, Angel Investors, Venture Capitalists
◦ Identify and assess alternative credit sources.
 Banks, Government (direct loans or loan guarantees), Grants,
 Local and State Economic Development Incentives.
◦ Assess expected financing needs and alternative sources.
 Interest Rates, Terms, Conditions, Etc.

• It demonstrate how this proposal is feasible
• It involves discussion technological feasibility, economic
practicality, social desirability, and ecological soundness
• Examples of benefits
1. cost reductions
2. error reductions
3. increased throughput
4. increased flexibility of operation
5. improved operation
6. better (e.g., more accurate) and more timely information.

 Types of costs
Development costs purchasing cost, Installation cost,
operational cost

• The conclusions section of a feasibility is the
restatement of the conclusions you have already
reached in the comparison sections. In this section,
you restate the individual conclusions, for example,
which model had the best price, which had the best
battery function, and so on.
• It must untangle all the conflicting conclusions and
somehow reach the final conclusion, which is the
one that states which is the best choice

• The final section of feasibility reports states the
recommendation.
• The recommendation section should echo the most
important conclusions leading to the
recommendation and then state the
recommendation emphatically.
• the basis for that judgment has to be stated
somewhere in the requirements section.
