According to Denning (2013), Boeing has made some mistakes that caused them to fail to deliver improvements to the efficiency of materials and technology on their commercial airplanes. Introducing new technologies produce their own new set of risks, and Boeing has seen their share of fallouts from this. Time and time again Boeing has failed to recognize the risks of introducing new technologies and strategizing ways to assess and mitigate the risks. Coordinating the outsourcing of experienced workers and suppliers for components for the new technologies can be a challenge to avoid affecting the cost, scheduling, quality or safety of everyone involved. However, controlling the risks involved with outsourcing the development of new technology, and the integration on to the aircraft, Boeing will need a system that will help manage and control the risks involved.

This project is to develop a risk management plan to eliminate or mitigate the effects of production risks that can arise from integrating new technology to the development of new aircrafts. The Boeing aircraft company understands that new technology will appease customers, but the risks involved with new technologies can cause financial pressure and strain on relationships with suppliers over the life of the project. The relationship among these risks favor the use of a risk management matrix and continued risk assessment (Kerzner, 2014).

The intended outcome of this project is to develop a risk management matrix that will detail the activities of designing and integrating new technologies and include strategies that will help assess the risks and develop plans to address them. The risk management matrix will assist the production of new technology that Boeing is intending to launch by identifying existing and potential risks, and strategizing ways in which the risks can be eliminated or mitigated.

This project will influence the way in which the manufacturing and maintenance facilities identify and respond to risks on projects to integrate new technologies on to commercial airplanes. This will also influence the market of passengers the commercial airline attracts. If passengers feel safer about the new comforts the company can provide them, the more confident they will feel about traveling on the Boeing commercial airplanes and the company will improve its competitive edge.

The project is estimated to cost around $41,690.37.

Project Significance

The project to develop a commercial airplane technology risk plan is important for the Boeing commercial airline division is important for the organization in that it will provide the organization with the capability to successfully identify and respond to potential risks before a new technology is place in production on commercial airplanes. The risk management plan will enable the company to perform risk assessments during various points of production of new technologies to determine the level of risk involved. Integrating the risk management plan will improve the process in which the company evaluates new technologies on their commercial airplanes.

Any delays in developing the risk management plan will result in postponing the integration of new technologies on commercial airplanes. This will also result the company in potentially losing their competitive edge against other competitors, and lose revenue in sales because the company cannot deliver what their stakeholders are expecting.

The failure of the commercial airplane technology risk plan will result in failure to identify and resolve risks from integrating new technologies on commercial airplanes. The safety of the passengers on the commercial airplanes are top priority, and not carefully analyzing the risk of new technologies can potentially put the lives of the passengers at risk. Also, if the risk plan is not established then the organization may feel that new technologies cannot be introduced onto their commercial airplanes because there is no process in place to identify risks and come up with responses to those risks.

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.
