Etc. • Approach and Methodology- This can have sub-sections. Justify your approach. What other approaches were available to you? This section should contain a literature review, with pertinent references cited from your reference section. Describe how you approached the problem - methods and procedures, assumptions, analysis techniques used, data sources. Why did you choose your approach? Teams are expected to make and justify their own assumptions in areas where information provided is unclear or insufficient. IENG 471 Facilities Planning

12. Project Report Format • Results - Provide a summary of numeric and qualitative results. Discussion of results and their sensitivity to changes in assumptions. Some graphs and charts would be good in this section. Detailed printouts or calculations should be put in an appendix. Note, all pertinent information must appear within the body of the report. The reader should only need to refer to the appendices to get more detailed information. • Recommendations and Implementation- Describe a clear list and discussion of your short-term and long-term recommendations.
