REALITY PROJECT – Due 9/18/2016
Description- The idea is to create a gun safe that not only is made of recycled, hardened plastics instead of steel, but also designed in a new way to be more accessible from the bedside with less noticeable movement. After design, details on manufacturing the needed resources into the product will be determined and sales goals will be decided to begin marketing of product.
Purpose- Protection. There is a lack of close contact gun safes in the market. With this product that is attached to the bedside the consumer can rest easy to know they are safe with their weapon by their side if ever needed.
Value (benefits) –Safety. Current situation is a consumer needs to go to their gun safe buried in the nightstand, behind their bed, or even worse, in a different room. With this product the consumer will be benefited by the proximity of their gun safe for quick access when needed.
Who it will influence – All consumers who want to rest easy knowing they are safe in case of an intrusion.
Cost (labor and materials) - $1.2 million to start. Cost of resources, cost of manufacturing equipment and molds, payment of employees.
Implications of success, delays, and total failure? – Success is implicated by increased sales and increased manufacturing efficiency with reduced costs. Delays by lack of employee base (sickness, vacation days, time off which reduces employee output) and total failure being a lack of market desire for the product which would lead to zero sales and no cash flow, bankruptcy.

The Microsoft Project document for Ecotech Improvement Project
In the Microsoft Project for GM’s Ecotech Expansion Project. Here we can see a few of the tasks needed to complete this project successfully. This document should help keep the project on track scheduling wise to ensure we made the launch of December 2017 so we can get our new products to our consumers. Keeping the project on time is very important to make sure we have the proper amount of time to test to ensure the products are safe for consumers to use.
This documents makes it simple to keep track or change or add to the current schedule is new challenges may arise or if the product gets ahead of schedule. This will be reviewed by the manager and team leaders during monthly, and bi-weekly to weekly reports to update the project document as needed for the project. Currently the Ecotech Expansion and Improvement project is set at 100 Million for labor, technology, and materials cost to improve the Ecotech line.
Why Improve the Ecotech Line
Improving the Ecotech line will allow General Motors to stay ahead of the curve of engine companies going green and becoming more efficient in their products. This will allow the company to continue to be innovative and be a leader in its market as well as providing customers with the best products possible.
