resources as well as budget since both of these work hand in hand and are essential to

facilitate the completion of a given project (Pinto, 2019). While discussing about some of the

constraints in a business, it is clear from the owner’s perspective that there may be project

managers who may not be willing to work with each other. The unavailability of costs, reduced

equipment, inefficient sub-contractors as well as a limited number of technicians also depict

some of the constraints at Sunrise Restoration and Remodeling. From the scenario, there is

the rule on First Come First Served which is mainly meant for the purpose of avoiding the

misuse of technicians and equipment. Nonetheless, this has not yet turned out in the favor of

Ken, because he has been clever in the way he works out his cases. 1 IN ADDITION,

THERE IS NO RESERVATION POLICY THAT MAKES IT SOMEWHAT HARD

FOR PLANNING OTHER PROJECTS.

3 2) IS SUNRISE’S CURRENT MODEL OF PRIORITIZING RESOURCE

ASSIGNMENTS VIABLE? 1 WHY OR WHY NOT?

It is clear from the scenario that the existing method of prioritizing resources assignment

available is not really viable. This is because some of the existing practices of the first come

first serve basis are not really effective since the project managers may not be able to plan

their future endeavors. 4 FOR INSTANCE, AS A RESULT OF THE REDUCED

NUMBER OF EQUIPMENT, I THINK THAT TYLER WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE

EQUIPMENT THAT DELAYED HIS PART OF THE PROJECT FOR AROUND 3

DAYS WHILE THE EQUIPMENT WAS GETTING USED BY KEN. 1 THIS MIGHT

BE A SMALL COMPANY, BUT IT DOES INCLUDE MORE THAN TWO PROJECT

MANAGERS AND IT IS HIGHLY LIKELY FOR THE THIRD MANAGER TO GET

HOLD OF EQUIPMENT BEFORE TYLER, WHICH WOULD BE A VERY BAD

SCENARIO FOR THE PROJECT. IF THE PROJECT MANAGER’S MAIN

CONCERN DRILLS DOWN ON HOW TO GET HOLD OF EQUIPMENT FIRST, HIS

OTHER PROJECT RELATED ACTIVITIES WILL BE IN TROUBLE. FIRST COME

FIRST SERVED BASES COULD HOLD GOODS IF IT HAS A RESERVATION

SYSTEM; THIS MEANS THAT THE FIRST AVAILABLE PERSON TO RESERVE

THE UNIT FOR FUTURE ACTIVITY SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO USE IT. THIS

MOVE GIVES ENOUGH TIME FOR PROJECT MANAGERS TO PLAN

ACCORDINGLY (PINTO, 2019). ALSO, THIS WOULD FALL UNDER LUCK

CATEGORY OF THE PROJECT MANAGER GETTING THE EQUIPMENT EVEN

AFTER 3RD DAY.

3) HOW COULD TECHNOLOGY ALLEVIATE SOME OF SUNRISE’S RESOURCE

MANAGEMENT ISSUES?

4 THESE 3 DAYS OF IDLENESS NOT ONLY INCUR PROJECT TIME DELAY,

BUT BOTH WORKERS AS WELL AS THE PROJECT MANAGERS ARE

SUPPOSED TO BE PAID. 1 IF ANY FOLLOW-UP ACTIVITY IS BEING

PLANNED, THIS WOULD RESULT IN JEOPARDY; these activities include external

parties/vendors. 1 OTHER THAN THIS, SOME OF THE FEES TO ACCOMMODATE

INCLUDE UPDATED TIME OR DAY SETTING WILL BE INCURRED. 4 DESPITE

THE FACT THAT NOT ALL PROJECT MANAGERS WOULD WANT THEIR PLANS

TO BE DISCLOSED TO ONE ANOTHER, TECHNOLOGY CAN HELP KEEP THE

REST OF THE PLAN HIDDEN FROM OTHER PROJECT MANAGERS AND ONLY

HIGHLIGHT THE CONFLICTING PARTS. 1 IN THIS SCENARIO, THE PROJECT

MANAGEMENT RELATED SOFTWARE CAN BE REALLY HELPFUL TO

UNDERSTAND AVAILABILITY OF GIVEN RESOURCE IN FUTURE CASES.

TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN VERY HELPFUL IN DEALING WITH SITUATIONS

LIKE THE ONES MENTIONED IN GIVEN CASE STUDY PERTAINING TO

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT. AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THE RESERVATION

SYSTEM WOULD HELP THE PROJECT MANAGERS TO EFFICIENTLY PLAN

FOR THE PROJECT (PINTO, 2019). IF ALL PROJECT MANGERS’ PLANS ARE

HIGHLIGHTED UNDER ONE APPLICATION, IT WOULD SHOW ALL

CONFLICTING ACTIVITIES OR RESOURCE ALLOCATION BEFOREHAND

GIVING THE PROJECT MANAGER ENOUGH TIME TO NEGOTIATE OR LOOK

OUT FOR ALTERNATIVES AND PROVIDE TIMELINE ESTIMATES

ACCORDINGLY.

4) WOULD TYLER’S SUGGESTION TO HIRE ADDITIONAL TECHNICIANS AND

PURCHASE MORE EQUIPMENT SOLVE THE RESOURCE PROBLEMS AT

SUNRISE? WHY OR WHY NOT?

TIME IS THE PROBLEM. THAT BEING SAID, A SOLUTION SHOULD COME

OUT DEALING WITH HOW THE EQUIPMENT WOULD BE EQUALLY

AVAILABLE TO ALL PROJECT MANAGERS AND ON TIME. 4 ADDING NEW

EQUIPMENT WOULD INCREASE THE IDLE TIME WHICH WILL LATER

CONSUME UP THE BUDGET FROM THE COMPANY, RENDERING IT NON

EFFICIENT. 1 AS RIGHTLY STATED, THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED FOR JUST A

SINGLE PROJECT MANAGER OUT OF MANY, HENCE IT CONSIDERED MORE

SUBJECTIVE THAN OBJECTIVE. THE PROJECT MANAGER NEEDS TO BE CO-

OPERATIVE AND WORK THE WAY OTHER PROJECT MANAGERS WOULD,

THAT IS; not complaining. 4 TYLER’S SUGGESTIONS ARE BASED ON HIS

CURRENT PROJECT, THUS, HIS SUGGESTIONS TO ADD TECHNICIANS AND

PROCURE MORE EQUIPMENT IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE OVERALL PROBLEM.

1 IT MIGHT SOLVE HIS PROBLEM PERTAINING TO HIS PROJECT, BUT IT

WILL CREATE PROBLEM FOR HIS OWNER ESPECIALLY ON THE IDLENESS

OF EQUIPMENT. The main problem is with equipment not available on given time and

since some of the effective technicians have proven to be rather limited in number, Sunrise

Restoration and Remodeling faces similar difficulty as other companies (Pinto, 2019).

Besides, the company does not really have a big list when it comes to effective sub-contractors

who get hired at reduced costs and give great results.
