Project 2 : ORION Systems (A)
Introduction
This report is based on the case study of “ORION Systems (A)” (chapter3, page 94–97 in the textbook). Rosas was assigned to be the project manger of Jaguar project which was the important project of ORIAN that had just been awarded by the government to build the next generation of high-speed, light-rail trains. Rosas realized that the increased competition always come with the higher performance expectations regarding completion time, quality, and reliability and cost. In addition, organizing and managing projects in ORION structure would be a key to achieve the expectation of Jaguar project. Due to cost utilization and the limitation of resources, the organization was developed to matrix structure. There were four persons who had responsibilities for different tasks on the completion of the project. However, project management was limited only to the design and development. In addition, the development and manufacturing period of a project such as Jaguar takes around 6-7 years to complete. There are many points which were identified as problems such as quality concerns, customer support, and scope creep. From these concerns, Rosas was aware and tried to figure out the best way for new Jaguar project. In the following report, all the comments from team members have been considered as important assistance. The remainder of this report is organized as the following. In the first section, answers of two questions will be shown. In the second section, performance of team members
