Overview
Feasibility and Recommendation Reports are objective documents that decision-makers rely on to make decisions based on clearly defined problems, predetermined criteria, relevant data, and careful data analysis.
Characteristics
It is very important that the author of these reports can have no stake in the outcome of the report.
Do you remember the Toyota Recalls of 2010?
Whose report was more credible: Toyota’s or NASA’s?
Feasibility vs. Recommendation
| FEASIBILITY | RECOMMENDATION |
| 1 Problem | 1 Problem |
| 1 Candidate Solution | N Candidate Solutions |
| 2-4 Criteria* | 2-4 Criteria* |
| Feasibility Report will make a recommendation that the candidate solution is or is not feasible | Recommendation Report will be used to select the most appropriate solution from a set of multiple candidate solutions |
*Limit for this paper; actual reports can have N criteria.
Report Sections: Standard Introduction
The Standard Introduction includes:
Purpose: Describes the reason for the report
Problem: Comprehensively describes a problem to be solved that puts the candidate solution(s) and criteria in context
Scope: Describes the candidate solution(s) and the criteria in the order in which they will be discussed
Report Sections: Discussion
The Discussion section includes:
Criteria
Explanation: Describes and defines the criterion, including why it was selected and how it is used
Data: Provides the findings (data) for this criterion; data should be empirical
Interpretation: Interprets the data for this criterion relative to the solution
Report Sections: Data Table
Example Data Table:
| Material | Tensile Strength (MegaPascals) |
| Galvanized Steel | 365 |
| Stainless Steel 436 | 530 |
| Polyvinylchloride (PVC) | 0.98 |
| Aluminum 6061-O | 124 |
Report Sections: Conclusion
The Conclusion section includes:
Summary: Reviews the data and interpretations
Conclusions: Presents your conclusions based on the data and interpretations
Recommendation: Recommends a/the candidate solution or rejects it
Report Sections: Contact, Documentation, & Appendix
Contact: List your name and campus email
Documentation: List the sources and references used
Appendix: Include materials needed for additional information, but not for understanding the report (optional). Examples include large data sets or images
