...Project Management Systems Week 4: Planning and Monitoring the Projects: Cost, Budget, and Earned Value Jan 22-28, 2012 The Huntsville Plant Project Planning and Monitoring Costs, Budget and Earned Value Analysis It is important that the SEITZ Corporation understands our progress in relation to both the project team and the SEITZ Corporation’s strategic goals and objectives, regarding the progress of the Huntsville plant. As a continued effort to report the progress that is being made on the plant project we would like to report how our project team is planning and monitoring costs, budget and earned value. As the project manager, I have used Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to identify that the project is currently within budget. We have assigned fixed costs to the following tasks: * Building Design = $32,000 * Site Cost = $216,000 * Permit Cost = $3,200 * Building Cost = $1,200,000 * Equipment Cost = $780,000 * Equipment Installation = $120,000 * Truck Cost = $135,000 * Landscaping = $26,000 Total fixed costs = $2,512,200 In addition to assigning the fixed costs we have identified the total cost for the allocated resources to be $119,268. Between the fixed costs of tasks scheduled and the allocated resource hours that are utilized during the ‘Planning Phase’, we are looking at a budget of $283,882 thus far. Currently the ‘Planning Phase’ is set to take 10 weeks to complete with a total of 1,066 hours of allocated resources...

...Assignment 4: Project Motorcycles – The Comprehensive Project Plan Submitted By: Dhruv Jolly BUS 375 Dr. Mark C. Bojeun November 28, 2013 As a project manager, you’ll need to define Project Scope no matter what methodology you choose to use. Defining what is needed is the first step towards establishing a project timeline, setting project goals and allocating project resources. These steps will help you define the work that needs to be done – or in other words, define the Scope of the project (CIO, 2011). Scope is the summation of all deliverables required as a part of the project. This includes all products, services and results (Kerzner). The Scope here, is to successfully transition from manufacturing of ‘cruiser’ motorcycles, which have an engine or motor size ranging from 500 cc - 1,000 cc, to manufacturing of ‘touring’ motorcycles, which have an engine or motor size of 1,100 cc or larger. Project Scope, is the work that must be completed to achieve the final scope of the project, namely the products, services, and results. In this case, the Project Scope will include delivery of a larger engine or motor and transitioning from manufacturing ‘cruiser’ motorcycles, to ‘touring’ motorcycles. The Project Scope will list work that needs to be accomplished to deliver a product or service, with the specified features and functions. It will include benefits of the product to target audience, such as, comfort while driving long distances on the ‘touring’ motorcycles, engine...

...(DQ_1)Since the success of a project rests largely on the performance of the team, what are some techniques a project manager can employ to foster a group of individuals in becoming a cohesive and high-performing team? Motivating individuals can be a real challenge, adding the team aspect (depending on the size of the team) brings up many more challenges. If the project manager has the opportunity to pick his/her own team one can bet s/he is going to pick individuals that can be trusted. When a project manager is give a team that assigned to the project s/he will need to meet with each member to find out strengths and weakness; this will allow the manager to make correct assignments to the members. I fill that if the team members are assigned a portion of the project that fits their strengths, than the team will work well. Short projects, as a rule are easy to stay focused on. The motivation is to be quick and proficient, it is the long drawn out project that one may start to see separation of team members and lost motivation. I think one of the ways to keep a team running smoothly is to set mile-stones throughout the project, and make a note of showing appreciation when these mile-stone are met. Let the team know that not miles-stone can be met every time. The manager should then let the person(s) know that if there is a need of assistance, tell them to speak up letting the manager know that there is a need for help. One of the main jobs of the project manager is making sure...

...OPS 571 WEEK 4 PROJECT PLANNING STRUCTURES A+ Graded Tutorial Available At: http://hwsoloutions.com/?product=ops-571-week-4-project-planning-structures Visit Our website: http://hwsoloutions.com/ Product Description OPS 571 Week 4 Project Planning Structures Project Planning Structures Projects have different structures. A pure project structure uses a self-contained team to work on a project full time, and the project manager has full authority over the entire project (Jacobs & Chase, 2011). Secondly, a functional project coincides with the functional division of the company. Therefore, it is very likely that a team member will work on several projects at any given time (Jacobs & Chase, 2011). Finally, the project can be set-up as a matrix project. It is a blend of both the functional and pure project structures. The project manager is held responsible for the completion of the project, and upon completion, the project team will most likely have another job in the queue (Jacobs & Chase, 2011). According to Jacobs & Chase (2011), the ability to plan, direct, and control resources define the roles of project management. For example, people, equipment and material to meet the technical, cost, and time constraints of the project. All in all, there are many different approaches and processes of project management. However, most are illustrated by the traditional process of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. The...

Abraham Lincoln “The virtue of justice consists in moderation, as regulated by wisdom”. Aristotle ”Nobody gets justice. People only get good luck or bad luck”. Orson Welles Justice = mid-12c., "the exercise of authority in vindication of right by assigning reward or punishment;" also "quality of being fair and just," from Old French justice "justice, legal rights, jurisdiction" (11c.), from Latin iustitia "righteousness, equity," from iustus "upright, just" . The Old French word had widespread senses, including "uprightness, equity, vindication of right, court of justice, judge." The word began to be used in English c.1200 as a title for a judicial officer. Meaning "right order, equity" is late 14c. Justice of the peace first attested early 14c. In the Mercian hymns, Latin iustitia is glossed by Old English rehtwisnisse. To do justice to (someone or something) "render fully and fairly showing due appreciation" is from 1670s.

...improvement and future success of this company moving into the public market. In order to properly perform an assessment of the LBJ Company, there first had to be some set of standards or regulations that outline the internal controls and proper procedures for companies and businesses to adhere to for financial reporting. As it turns out internal control is a key component of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act(FCPA) of 1977 and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act(SOX) of 2002 which required companies to follow this set of internal controls. This list of internal controls is as follows: 1). Conduct its business in an orderly and efficient manner, 2). Safeguard its assets and resources, 3). Deter and defect errors, theft, and fraud, 4). Ensure accuracy and completeness of accounting data, 5). Produce reliable and timely financial and management information, 6).

...such as someone’s vacation hours and stocking merchandise for the store, those tasks should be delegated out to the assistant manager and to the store clerks. Being a supervisor means being in a role of leadership, logic, common sense, and decision making for yourself, the employees, and for the company. The “in Basket” debate and discussion gives us and our fellow classmates the opportunity to see if we can successfully delegate out certain tasks as a supervisor at a fictitious company. The discussion between me and fellow classmates was a great one and it appeared as though everyone agreed on everything accept for different incidents. The only two incidents where I came across disagreement were in regards to task number 3, and task number 4. These are the examples in which I will be using in this paper as far as disagreeing is concerned. Task number 3 is in regards to the mall hours changing for an upcoming holiday and that there is a request for store plans. In my own opinion and the opinion of all of my fellow classmates accept for one that I could find agreed that this task needed to be done by the Supervisor.
