Case study – Grand Wines
You are an employee of Grand Wines Ltd and project leader of a proposed project to equip each of the
company’s 20 sales representatives with a wireless data entry device by which they could instantly
communicate customer orders to the company’s central sales database in Sydney. The sales
representatives operate over all areas of NSW and service around 400 independent wine and liquor
stores in the state.
Currently, the sales representatives complete customer orders manually and after leaving a copy with the
customer, they forward the customer orders by mail or fax to the sales department in Sydney, where the
orders are entered into the sales database and processed through the inventory system for shipment to
the customer.
The problems with the current process are:
• At least one-day is lost in supplying customers with products because of the delays in getting
orders into the system.
• Sales representatives do not know the latest inventory position of their products when they accept
orders from the customer. Delays in delivery can result when orders are placed on “back-order”
because of a lack of stock.

2. • Orders are often “lost” or entered into the sales database incorrectly through human error.
• The sales representatives and many customers are dissatisfied with the current situation.
Competitive wine companies have improved their order systems and are outperforming Grand
Wines Ltd in terms of delivery speed, order accuracy, availability of ordered stock and overall
customer satisfaction.
Your CEO has stressed the importance of the project to the company and asked you to use your skills as
a project manager to make sure the project is successful by following the relevant project management
processes.
You have been assigned a project leader of this project. Your manager has given you guidance that the
project needs to be completed within 6 months and that costs should be minimised wherever possible.
Rationale

• be able to demonstrate how a practicing project manager actually applies project management
skills, methods, techniques and tools;
• be able to use an industry standard project management software tool (Microsoft Project);
• apply project management skills, methods, techniques and tools to a real world problem typical of
a project manager;
• be able to describe what exactly a quality system is and how it is achieved in project
development;
• be able to identify how the disciplined application of quality assurance can lead to significant
productivity gains; and
• be able to demonstrate how to expedite project tasks during project delivery.
