BAE Case
Case: BAE Automated Systems
1. Evaluate the implementation of the Denver International Airport Baggage Handling System?
By understanding the case, it can be said that the Denver International Airport Baggage Handling System implementation was not successful due to the factors such as advanced technology, no proper implementation of time, lack of planning and scheduling. Apart from this, there were many more problems like the airport opening was delayed to the actual proposed date. By considering all the reasons, it can be said that the project was unsuccessful.
2. What do you believe were the top 3 factors that contributed to the project’s failure?
There are many factors that led to the project’s failure but when compared to all strategy planning, communication and timing plays as major factors in the project failure.
Strategy Planning:
This segment plays a very important role in the project. BAE made a contract with United Airlines for building a baggage system. But, the project was a failure as the proposal of building baggage system was not included in the construction plan. Therefore, there were lot problems when they started building baggage system due to which the system has to redesign and fit in another place. Communication:
The project team and the consultants have a communication gap which led to the lot of issues. Likewise, the work is not allotted in time as the projected previous work was prolonged than the proposed completion time which made the delay in completion. There were some issues between workers due to lack of communication like the materials were ordered, when the delivery was there the employee was unaware that those are needed and he sent back the delivery thinking that those are not necessary for construction. In this way, it took more days to get redelivery and the work got postponed in the gap. Timing:
For any project, timing plays an important role. Here in this project, lot of problems raised as the building started
