Woody's Project Outline
1. Statement of Work (Wysocki, 2012, pg11)
• Obtain required documentation;
• Installation of air conditioning for facility;
• Dust free paint and finishing shop installation;
• Additional compressor capacity installation;
• Installation of semi-automatic woodworking production train-research how to employ Industry Foundation classes (IFC) (Boukamp, Akinci 2007);
• Mandatory regulatory inspections.
• Resource allocation
• Project duration 18 months
• Production capacity area enlarged by the equivalent of 25% of existing production capacity;
2. Joint Project Planning Session (Wysocki 2012 pg 157-163), McGowan et al (1993)
• Create WBS including Activity List
• Subject matter experts develop further decomposition.(Laufer et al 1992)
• Estimate task duration and resource needs.
• Construct project network diagram
• a. Proposed methodology- three point technique
• b. Critical Path and Milestones
• c. Overall Project Schedule
• Revision and approval of completion date
• Finalization of resource schedule
3. GANTT CHART
4. WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE
5. RISK IDENTIFICATION & MITIGATION
• Risks - Weather conditions – not being familiar with weather in British Columbia we will assume that it will be winter time which will have an effect on project execution and schedule.
• Schedule has minimal flexibility. Project execution, delivery of resources and equipment as well as regulatory inspections, need to be monitored.
• Obtaining mandatory licenses and permits in a timely manner
(b)Mitigation of the risks
• Weather –advisable to require contractors to protect the work site
• Schedule – effective monitoring and control of tasks especially critical path tasks. If tasks are at risk of falling behind, extra manpower will be provided.
• Mandatory licenses and permits – Scope and Planning processes allow for slack to obtain licenses and permits. RISK MONITORING AND CONTROL
• Upon identification,
• Obtain required documentation;
