Chapter 6 FEASIBILITY STUDY

PROJECT REPORT

SPONSORED LINKS

Feasibility is the determination of whether or not a project is worth doing the process followed making this determination is called feasibility study. This of determines if a project can and should be taken. Once it has been determined that a project is feasible, the analyst can go ahead and prepare the project specification which finalizes project requirements. Generally, feasibility studies are undertaken within right time constraints and normally culminate in a written and oral feasibility report. The contents and recommendations of such a study will be used as a sound basis for deciding whether to proceed, postpone or cancel the project. Thus, since the feasibility study may lead to the commitment of large resources, it becomes necessary that it should be conducted competently and that no fundamental and that no fundamental errors of judgment are made.

There are following types of inter-related feasibility

Ø Technical feasibility

Ø Operational feasibility

Ø Economic feasibility

Ø Social feasibility

Ø Management feasibility

Ø Legal feasibility

Ø Time feasibility

· Technical feasibility:

This is concerned with specifying equipment and software and hardware that will successfully satisfy the user requirement. The technical needs off the system may vary considerably, but might include:

Ø The facility to produce output in a given time.

Ø Response time under certain conditions.

Ø Ability to process a certain volume of transaction at a particular speed.

Ø Facility to communicate data to distant location.

In examining technical feasibility, configuration of the system is given more importance than the actual make of hardware. The configuration should give the complete picture about the system requirements. What speeds of input and output should be achieved at particular quality of printing.

According to the definition of technical feasibility the compatibility between front-end and back-end is very important. In our project the compatibility of both is very good. The compatibility of VISUAL BASIC 6.0 and SQL SERVER 2000 is very good. The speed of output is very good, when we enter the data and click button then the response time is very fast and give result very quickly. I never find difficulty when used complex query or heavy transaction. The speed of transaction is always smooth and constant. This software provides facility to communicate data to distant location.

We use VISUAL BASIC 6.0. The designing of front-end of any project is very important so we select VISUAL BASIC 6.0 as front-end due to following reason:

· Easy implementation of code.

· Well define interface with database.

· Well define hand shaking of SQL SERVER 2000.

· Easy debugging.

I have selected SQL SERVER 2000 because of the following number of reasons.

· Able to handle large data.

· Security.

· Robust RDBMS.

· Backup & recovery.

With the help of above support we remove defect of existing software. To ensure that system does not halt in case of undesired situation or events. Problem affected of any module does not affect any module of the system. A change of hardware does not produce problem.

· Operational Feasibility:

It is mainly related to human organizational and political aspects. The points to be considered are:

· What changes will be brought with the system?

· What organization structures are disturbed?

What new skills will be required? Do the existing staff members have these skills? If not, can they be trained in due course of time?

At present stage all the work is done by manual. So, throughput and response time is too much. Major problem is lack of security check that was must to be applied. Finding out the detail regarding any information was very difficult, because data store in different books and each books at different places. In case of any problem, no one can solve the problem until the master of this field is not present.

I will not change the structure of organization. I will deliver a system that will look like a current structure of organization. But the system, which is, delivered by me, removes all the overheads. All the computational work will be done automatically in our system. Response time is very quick.

At present communication is based on telephone or manual meet. After computerization the manual meet must be removed or avoid. Telephonic communication also avoids because with the help of Intranet we can communicate each terminal and query of any subject solve very quickly with the help of another person, which is on-line. At any time we can consult or chatting more than one person at same time. Management can also talk all users at same time. When the telephone is only medium to communicate then the problem is only one person can talk each other not more than on due to reservation of bandwidth.

Now, we will explain the last point of operational feasibility .it is a shop of hardware and he appoints engineer for hardware problem. So, he can’t face difficulty in hardware and all employees of company know about computer’s operation so the training of this software is not a difficult task.

· Economic feasibility:

Economic analysis is the most frequently used technique for evaluating the effectiveness of a proposed system. More commonly known as cost/benefit analysis: the procedure is to determine the benefits and saving that are expected from a proposed system and compare them with cost. If benefits outweigh cost, a decision is taken to design and implement the system. Otherwise, further justification or alternative in the proposed system will have to be made if it is to have a chance of being approved. This is an ongoing effort that improves in accuracy at each phase of the system life cycle.

Hence the engineer will not find any difficulty at the installation time and after installation user also newer find difficulty i.e. hang, slow speed or slow response time. One project is compulsory for each student this project is either dummy or lives. If I am developing a live project then it gives a lot of confidence. It is better for me and for company because, I am developing a system with out any money. So every thing is in favor now, I can say the cost of this software is I think negligible.

Hence the economical feasibility is very good.
