2. What is feasibility study?
• 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

3. Reasons to Do a Study
• 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.

4. Types of feasibility
• 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

5. Types of feasibility
• Market Feasibility

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

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

8. Feasibility report
• 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

Introduction/Executive Summary
Background
outline of project
Methodology/method of analysis
Overview of alternatives
Conclusion
Recommendation

9. Introduction/Executive
summary
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

10. Background
• 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.

11. Outline of system
• 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.

12. Methodology
• 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

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

14. Overview of alternatives
• 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.

15. 1. Estimate Equity and Credit Needs
• 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.

16. 2. Cost and benefits evaluation
• It demonstrate how this proposal is feasible
• It involves discussion technological feasibility, economic
practicality, social desirability, and ecological soundness
•

Examples of benefits
cost reductions
error reductions
increased throughput
increased flexibility of operation
improved operation
better (e.g., more accurate) and more timely information.

17. • Types of costs
Development costs purchasing cost, Installation cost, operational
cost

18. Conclusion
• 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

19. Recommendation
• 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.
