Introduction

When it comes to project communication, it is important to note how the information flows from one team member to another and how it impacts the project development. The design and building of the new infrastructure require team support from everyone. This means clear development of substantive information regarding time, resources, procedures, and processes focusing on the building of new infrastructure. Since the warehouse is not enough to initiate product development and to serve the needs of the customers in District 4, the company has to develop a new warehouse using a diverse communication framework.

Stakeholders on the District 4 Move

When it comes to mentioning the stakeholders involved in the District 4 Move, we have to establish their responsibilities in the current warehouse. It starts with the shipping department. The group of employees is the ones in charge of the shipping operations of a warehouse. This means that their role is crucial to initiate development of the warehouse in District 4. Secondly, Administrative Assistants. These ensure that the warehouse is managed and operates in the right way. The information technology department is another dominant framework to support the IT operations of the new warehouse and to integrate it to the position of the customers in the market (Bojkovic, Bakmaz, & Bakmaz, 2015). The third stakeholders include designer and customer services. Designers know how the apparels are made as per the interests and preferences of the customers.

On the other hand, customer service will always have to meet and interact with the customers around them for them to initiate development of the warehouse. District manager and order fulfillment are also instrumental in the operations of the warehouse in District 4. They ensure that orders go as planned and that every operation and needs are fulfilled on time. Others include operations, project manager, accountant, and sales team.

Communications addressed by each of the Customers

As reiterated above, the project manager will start with the establishment of the warehouse. The project manager will be communicating between the contractors and the senior executives of the company. He/she will draw the plan for the project and design the right frameworks to employ in supporting developments of infrastructure and financial operations of the project. Operations will be in charge of supporting the machinery works in the right way regarding sewing the machines. The operations officer will communicate about efficiency and any lagging problems associated with the machinery (Bailis, Narayanan, Miller, & Han, 2017). The stakeholders mentioned above come after the completion of the warehouse. Accountants will communicate about the amount of cash generated against the number of funds used for the running of the company’s operations. They will give reports to the chief finance officer.

The shipping department will always look at the transportation and delivery of products. They will talk about the right way to improve efficiency and encourage flexibility in handling orders. The administrative assistants will serve as a dynamic force in informing the senior management of the importance of changing operations and encouraging changes to align labor, skills, and organizational goals with the needs of the customers (Dasgupta, de Oliveira, & Vasseur, 2006). Designers will work under administrative officers and will communicate the modern designs needed to attract and maintain the market. They will carry out research and ensure that they come up with a competitive product. They create meetings which are used to inform the company on the essential products for the market.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the warehouse will work properly if all the plans on developing communication will work as per the needs of TAC. It will have to engage all its employees in communication and practical decision making for a positive outcome.
