Project Scope Document Managing Complex Projects MBA 6951 Introduction The project scope document is an important step in the project development process and is designed to bring the stakeholders and project manager together in order to set the overall boundaries of the project. This document covers the following topics; customer requirements, statement of work, deliverables, work breakdown structure and acceptance criteria. By thoroughly addressing each of these topics both Hi-Tek Manufacturing and the project manager will be on the same page concerning the project objectives, what is expected throughout the project, how the project will be completed and the criteria needed complete the project successfully. The overall objective of this project is to increase production rates by 35%; with the sub objectives of expanding floor space, new machine installation and shipping and receiving expansion. Customer Requirements Hi-Tek Manufacturing is seeking to expand their current manufacturing facility to increase production times and improve their shipping and receiving capabilities. In order to house 30 additional CNC machines and the additional shipping a receiving space the expansion needs to be 37,450 square feet of additional floor space. To effectively run the new equipment requires extensive plumbing and electrical, this requires additional electric panels and additional pumps to cycle the coolant from the holding tanks to the machinery. Due to the weight of the new equipment the floor of the expansion needs to be twelve inches
thick to support the weight. In addition to the machinery the expansion requires two overhead cranes to enable operators to load and unload large parts from the machines. Hi- Tek requires a specific machine layout to support the flow of work, this will be taken into consideration during the expansion design phase. Statement of Work The expansion of Hi-Tek manufacturing’s production facility is to be completed in four phases; development, design, construction and installation. Phase one of the project is the development phase and it consists of purchasing the land needed to build the addition production space as well as procuring the appropriate permits through the local government office allowing the construction project to take place. This is a key milestone because if there are issues procuring the land or permits runs the risk of not being able to expand their facility at the current location. Phase two of the project is the design phase. Here we identifying the specific equipment that will go into the expansion and blueprint development. Identifying the equipment is required to identify the exact specifications needed to design the new building layout. The risk of not completing this during phase two is that inadequate building materials may be used which can cause delays and additional resources to make the corrections. Once the specifications are identified the engineers can begin the design of the facility and develop the blueprints to start construction. Phase three of the project is the physical construction new production area. The addition adds 37,450 square feet of manufacturing space bringing the total square footage of the facility to 125,000 square feet. The additional space and capabilities are projected to increase Hi-Tek’s production capabilities by 35%. Phase four of the project is the installation and calibration of the new equipment into the new area.
Work Breakdown Structure The work breakdown structure identifies the four phases outlined in the statement of work and organizes them into a chart that visually depicts the flow of work within each phase. Each of these phases correlate with the gantt chart located in the deliverables section. Below is the work breakdown structure that depicts the flow of work throughout the Hi- Tek facility expansion project.
Acceptance Criteria The acceptance criteria for this project are based on the pre-determined conditions set by the stakeholders. Hi-Tek manufacturing’s overall acceptance criteria is a 35% increase in their production capabilities. Through each phase of the project there are specific criteria that must be met before continuing on with the project. The criterial for phase one that must be met is that the land need for construction is purchased and the appropriate building permits have been approved. Without the acquisition of the land adjacent to the facility and approval for construction the project cannot move forward. Phase two has several criteria that must be met. First is the specification for each machine going into the new production area. These specifications are a driving factor in the overall design of the new area and will determine how the engineers develop the plans for construction. Once this has been met the next acceptance criteria for phase two is the design of the blueprints based off the specifications. The design and layout of the area must conform to the production flow anticipated for the new machinery. If the machines are not arrayed
