...analysis of the current project risk management Procedure followed by the Spanish Business Unit of an automotive multinational company, which manufactures steering wheels and airbag modules. Different changes are established in the current procedure for the purpose of defining and implementing a project risk management procedure more useful and efficient. Introduction In the competitive business environment, organizations are seeking to get and stay ahead of the competition by making significant advances in the products and services, and operating as efficiently as possible. Many businesses use projects as vehicles to deliver that competitive advantage. Clearly each organization wishes to move ahead as quickly as possible, and that involves taking risk as the business exposes itself to a range of uncertainties that could affect whether or not it achieves its desired aim. Risk can be broadly defined as the probability of variation surrounding an anticipated outcome. Risk has been examined across multiple Disciplines, including economics and management. Within the project management context, the important thing is not keep risk out Projects, but to ensure that the inevitable risk associated with every project is at a level which is acceptable, and it is effectively managed. A project risk management includes the processes concerned with identifying, analyzing and responding to project risk. It includes...

...Analysis of the Regency Plaza case study 4.0 Risk Evaluation and Management of Regency Hotel Project Any project will presents risk elements that represent opportunities or threats that can undermine the smooth running or even completion of the project. Similarly the Regency Plaza project with its high stake of the deliverables, careful managing of risk should be top priority. Using the four stages of Risk Management framework, we shall attempt to evaluate how well risk was managed in the case Regency Plaza project. 4.1 Risk Identification: Sources of Risk Identifying the sources of risk is paramount; detect as many as possible and should be directly related to the project objectives. Uncertainties will happen during the project runtime; hence identification of all possible of risk elements should be meticulously specified, and in the case of Regency Plaza, it can be associated with the design, development, quality, staffing, schedule and budget. Since the Regency Plaza was a mixed use project, and being the first of its kind undertaken by the Group, they may lack the experience in running this project. This was further compounded by the complication of the size and layout of the floor plate in terms of the difficulty of designing a structure to accommodate condominiums over the hotel rooms, seated over a parking garage. Elevator core location and column spacing were essentially fixed by these constraints. At the same time issues such as length of the hallways, floor...

...teams for five risks in the areas of Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality Operations, and Supply Chain. The project team has assessed the benefits, costs, and risks of alternative contingency strategies and have selected several plans that we recommend for each of the core risks. The project team has evaluated the probability and impact of each of the core risks, and prioritized them using a scoring method below. These two dimensions used to evaluate and determine the score and priority of the risk valued as Low=1, Medium=2, and High=3. The five major risk that will adversely effect the project schedule, cost, and ultimately the success of the project are the event that the LapDock App software module is not completed on time. Second to that would be ensuring high compatibility with the various smartphones and their operating systems. Third is the maintaining the quality of the LapDock hardware manufactured by our oversees partners. The fourth risk event is the possibility that our components supplier goes out of business, or has problems delivering parts due to environmental or political factors. The fifth core risk is the event that LapDock devices and its packaging are damaged during shipping due to production process and quality of materials. The Risk Identification List shown in Fig 1 below summarizes the risk analysis and evaluation. |Risk Identification List | |Risk Analysis ...

...from RFID devices installed in a class rooms. Based on the verification of student identification at the entrances system, the RFID tag can be embedded in the ID card of the individual. First to activate a new session(hour) the teacher swipes her RFID tag this marks a new attendance session during which the students can swipe once to increment their attendance. The RFID module operate in 125Khz range, when a tag passes through its vicinity, the module senses its presence and extracts its unique serial number and passes this code into microcontroller which matches the code to the correct person and increments the attendance of the particular person. CONTENTS 1.Introduction 2.Block Diagram and Description 3.Circuit -Circuit Diagram -Circuit Description 4.Software 5.Printed Circuit Board -PCB Layout 6.Estimate 7.Conclusion 8.Bibpiography INTRODUCTION The two major problems faced by organizations are time consuming manual attendance and wastage of electrical power. Our project is going to solve these problems by using RFID technology. The project is designed to store up to 50 card IDs but it is easily scalable up to 65000 card IDs but for that it requires external memory. Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is an automatic identification method, relying on storing and remotely retrieving data using devices called RFID tags or transponders. So the RFID is a wireless identification. Normally the RFID system comprises of two main parts: RFID Reader and RFID Tag. RFID...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Student absences jeopardize student and school success. Academic achievement scores are correlated with school attendance. Students who are not at school cannot receive instruction. Excessive school absence is a precursor of school dropout and is related to juvenile delinquency. And, because average daily attendance rates are a common determiner of school funding, absences mean that schools have less resources to do the job. Given all this, it is not surprising that reducing school absences is a top priority for many schools. (http://smhp.psych.ucla.edu) Now-a-days intelligent automation has stepped its presence in every field all over the world. This project has a stepping in the attendance and power management of the classrooms in the colleges/schools. The use of low cost technologies for highly reliable applications with the help of newly innovated algorithms makes the automation process to reach the consumers at cheaper and reliable cost. (http://www.muxtronics.com) The widespread of embedded computer networks as part of everyday peoples’ lives is leading the current research towards smart environments and Ambient Intelligence (AmI). AmI is a new information paradigm where people are empowered through a digital environment that is “aware” of their presence and context and is sensitive, adaptive and responsive to their needs.

...A Risk Management Standard Published by AIRMIC, ALARM, IRM: 2002 Introduction This Risk Management Standard is the result of work by a team drawn from the major risk management organisations in the UK - The Institute of Risk Management (IRM),The Association of Insurance and Risk Managers (AIRMIC) and ALARM The National Forum for Risk Management in the Public Sector. In addition, the team sought the views and opinions of a wide range of other professional bodies with interests in risk management, during an extensive period of consultation. Risk management is a rapidly developing discipline and there are many and varied views and descriptions of what risk management involves, how it should be conducted and what it is for. Some form of standard is needed to ensure that there is an agreed: should be viewed not just in the context of the activity itself but in relation to the many and varied stakeholders who can be affected. There are many ways of achieving the objectives of risk management and it would be impossible to try to set them all out in a single document.Therefore it was never intended to produce a prescriptive standard which would have led to a box ticking approach nor to establish a certifiable process. By meeting the various component parts of this standard, albeit in different ways, organisations will be in a position to report that they are in compliance.The standard represents best practice against which organisations can measure themselves. The standard has...
