Project Objectives

​

The project's objectives were to analyze the current manufacturing process, develop an optimization plan, and implement the updated processes. 

 

Outcome

 

The outcome was an increase in process efficiency by 50% and a reduction in production failure by almost 80%.  

​

My Role 

 

My role was as Project Manager. 

​​

​

My responsibilities

​

I work with the project sponsor, the owner of the firm, to help create the project charter. I visited the manufacturing unit on a regular basis to collect the requirements from multiple stakeholders. Further, define the project scope and as well out of scope activities. I created a team of 6 members to help create the work breakdown structure. Further, I developed the budget, created the project schedule plan, and got it approved by the sponsor. 

​

I created the plan for quality management to be verified as the project was executed. I compiled all the risks that can occur with both qualitative and quantitative risk assessments and created the risk management plan with the risk register. I discussed with all the stakeholders their communication mode and have planned ways to keep them engaged regularly. Further, I assigned resources based on the activities leading to the creation of the plan for resource management. Thus my entire project management plan was ready to be executed. 

​

Now, I acquired the team by hiring two additional resources and started the work. As the project work was in full swing, I worked towards resolving any team conflicts as and when they arose and finding solutions in a timely manner. Any change requests during the project execution from the stakeholders were processed through the defined change management processes. I also monitored the work daily to ensure that the work was under scope, time, and within budget, further avoiding any scope creep. 

​

Upon completion of the work, I facilitated the sponsor's acceptance of the deliverables. I then formally closed the project by documenting all required Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and process improvements, conducting a comprehensive lessons-learned review, officially disbanding the project team, and securely archiving all project records.

​​​​​​Deliverables

 

​The deliverables of the project were the entire new set of standard operating procedures with proper documentation — production scheduling charts with information radiators placed at prominent locations in the manufacturing unit. The employees of the firm were trained to understand and implement the updated process flow on a daily basis.​
