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.
