A feasibility study in industrial engineering is a comprehensive assessment that evaluates the viability of a proposed project. This type of study is crucial for determining whether a project is worth pursuing and involves a detailed analysis of various factors including technical, economic, legal, operational, and environmental aspects.

  • Technical Feasibility: This involves examining whether the technology and resources required for the project are available and adequate. It includes assessing the technical requirements, infrastructure, and technology options to determine if the project can be successfully implemented using existing technologies and resources. This could involve testing new sensing devices, evaluating thermal processes such as innovative oven or dryer designs, or assessing novel design features in a factory context.
  • Economic Feasibility: This aspect evaluates the financial viability of the project. It involves estimating the total cost, projecting revenue, analysing the return on investment (ROI), and determining the payback period. This is particularly relevant when exploring the cost-effectiveness of new industrial equipment such as fryers, heaters, dehydrators, or condensers, and analysing the potential for heat recovery or heat pump designs to improve overall profitability.
  • Legal Feasibility: This examines whether the project complies with all legal and regulatory requirements. It involves reviewing permits, licenses, and regulations to ensure that the project meets all necessary legal standards and does not face any legal obstacles. This also applies to the environmental and safety regulations surrounding new equipment and process implementations.
  • Operational Feasibility: This evaluates how well the project fits within the current organisational structure and processes. It assesses whether the project can be integrated smoothly into existing operations and whether it aligns with the organisation's goals and capabilities. This includes determining how new industrial equipment or process designs will be operationalised within a factory setting without causing disruption to current workflows.
  • Market Feasibility: This involves conducting market research to analyse the demand for the proposed project. It includes studying market conditions, competition, customer preferences, and trends to gauge the project's potential market success. For projects introducing new equipment or energy-efficient designs, it’s essential to understand the demand for these innovations in the market and whether they offer competitive advantages.
  • Environmental Feasibility: This examines the potential environmental impact of the project. It involves assessing how the project will affect the environment and ensuring that it complies with environmental regulations and standards. This is especially important when exploring heat recovery options or implementing new thermal processes that aim to reduce the environmental footprint.
  • Risk Analysis: Identifying and analysing potential risks and challenges that could affect the project's success. This includes evaluating their likelihood and impact, such as technical failures with new sensing devices or the underperformance of heat recovery systems, and developing strategies to mitigate these risks.

The outcome of a feasibility study is typically a detailed report that includes an executive summary, analysis of key factors, conclusions, and recommendations. This report serves as a crucial decision-making tool, helping stakeholders determine whether to proceed with the project, make adjustments, or abandon it altogether​.
