Scenario:

Use the following information for the remaining part of the assignment.

You have been passed some notes from an initial project planning meeting after a design breakthrough. You have been tasked with preparing the feasibility study.To manufacture your new revolutionary component requires 3 manufacturing processes and a packing process. Quotations for the machinery have been obtained.

1. Process 1:

Cost of machinery is £10k, 2 operators, 50 units per hour, maintenance 6 month intervals at 4hours, running cost £25/ hour

2. Process 2:

Cost of machinery is £20k, 1 operator, 100 units per hour, maintenance yearly at 8hours, running cost £30/ hour

3. Process 3:

Cost of machinery is£5k, automated, 200 per hour, maintenance monthly at 1hour, running cost £10/ hour

4. Packing process, current equipment can be used, 1 operator, 20 units per hour, maintenance by operators daily at 30 minutes.

Installing the machines takes 1 half day each and requires 1 electrical and 1 mechanical fitter.

Training takes 1 hour per operator and requires the machine being available.

Commissioning each machine takes 2 days, requires both fitters and 1 operator.

Production is to be spread evenly across the year, with batches produced in a single run, once per week.

Labour costs are £15 per hour per operator, £20 per hour for fitters.

Task 3 - Learning Outcomes 4.1

Establish the project resources and requirements

List the total resources and associated costs required to complete the whole project for a 2 year production run.

Task 4 - Learning Outcomes 4.2

Produce a plan with appropriate time-scales for completing the project

Produce a project plan covering installation, commissioning, training and operating production for the two years.

Task 5 - Learning Outcomes 4.3

Plan the human resource requirement and costs associated with each stage of the project

Plan the human resources required listing the requirements on a weekly basis and costs on a monthly basis using organisational methodology to show resources movement between possible contracts.
