The report should contain the following items in the following sequence:

3. Introduction.
4. Body of the Report.
5. Conclusion.
6. Implementation Timetable.

The Executive Summary  should be one page or less in length. It should summarize the most  important points from the body of your report. Although it is the first  page in your report, it is normally written after the body of the report  has been completed. It should include all the relevant important key  facts that are discussed in the body of your report.

The Introduction and Body of the Report should be between 5 to 10 pages in length. Do not  repeat the instructions you followed in completing the first thirteen  labs. Include the Return on Investment for the first year of operation  using the Net Profit from Exhibit 13-D and the Grand Total Capital  Requirement from Exhibit 13-B.

The Conclusion should be one page or less in length. It should include your team's final recommendation and the reason for it.

You must include an Implementation Timetable.  The timetable should not use calendar dates such as August 1st, but  should be stated in terms of weeks, such as Week One, Week Two, and so  on. The timetable should start the week after the approval of the  project by Senior Management. You need to include all the major  activities in the timetable such as Buying the Land, Installing the  Electrical Systems, Hiring the Employees, etc. These are just examples  and these examples are not complete. If necessary, do an internet search  to determine the types of major activities to include in your  timetable.
