Project case review
Trillo Apparel Company (TAC), an apparel design manufacturing company located in Albuquerque, New Mexico which is a profitable business for quite some time is planning on expanding a warehouse in District 4 ten miles away from the current storage in order to increase its profit margin by $1 million per year product revenues to meet the current demand due to the expanded production capacity. The company has a total 3000 workers in its four districts. This year the company has set the following priorities to make it move forward: Increase Sales and Distribution in the East, Improve Product quality, Improve Production in District 4, Increase Brand Recognition and Increase Revenues. District four warehouse expansion project is estimated to take four months; furthermore, bids were received from contractors to build the new office space and production floor along with signed contracts for work. Once both the county and city have passed new construction, work can begin. Building the product level work benches can occur at any time before the move occurs. These company production days are from Monday to Saturday.
Scope of the District 4 Production Warehouse Move project
Project scope is a combination of all that is required to complete the project successfully, and it has included project objective, goals, justification, product acceptance criteria, project constraint, assumptions, risk assessment and description (Tsai, Huang & Wann, 2014). The success a project should have SMART goals in that they are specific, measurable, agreed upon, realistic and timely. According to the Trillo Apparel Company project case provided the company project scope is inclusive of the following:
The company goal is to expand its warehouse in district four 10 miles away from the current one. This project has deliverables whereby after completion of this project the company will reap a profit of $1million per year. Some of the technical requirements of this project are that bid must be made by prospective contractors in time, the contractors will gain the necessary permits and schedule city and county inspections, but these tasks need to be identified separately due to the length of time it can take (Butler et al. 2015). The project milestone is that the new warehouse is ready with enough space and has a shipping department. District four warehouse project will have constraints such as the current warehouse requires renovation to accommodate the operations; the new warehouse is far with 10 miles from the current.
This project faces a risk of costing the company $250,000 in lost revenues In case of a week down time. Limits that this project face is that the time for completing it is four months only, the contractors will gain the necessary permits and schedule city and county inspections, but these tasks need to be identified separately due to the length of time it can take.
