1.Executive Summary Introduction
Tesla, Inc. is an American automotive and energy company
based in Palo Alto, California. The company specializes in
electric car manufacturing and, through its SolarCity subsidiary,
solar panel manufacturing.
Real Tech Inc is an Oracle implementation specialist and an
Oracle platinum partner. Tesla has awarded Real Tech Inc to
implement the e-business suite of applications in its
headquarters situated in Freemont, California. The suite of
applications contains modules like Inventory management,
Order management, Discrete manufacturing (Work In the
process, Bills of materials) and financial modules (Accounts
payable, receivable, Fixed assets and general ledger). The
duration of the project is estimated to be 1 year (on the higher
side). The team consists of 6 functional consultants, one
database administrator, one Project Manager, one ERP practice
head.
1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this project is to implement Oracle's business
suite of applications for Tesla. The implementation will consist
of replacing the existing application which is JD Edwards with
oracle’s supply chain and discrete manufacturing modules.
Oracle is a single platform that integrates multiple modules in
order to enable the business to run on single software. The
implementation will consist of the following modules:
Inventory (INV)
Purchasing (PO)
Order Management (OM)
Work in process (WIP)
Bills of Materials (BOM)
Implementing the above-mentioned modules will help the
business in the following ways:
Reporting: Improves reporting of live transactions of the
business.
Data Quality Helps in identifying the customer/suppliers that
are not active and eliminate the records instantly.
Credit & Debit: Centralizes the credit and debit transactions in
the organization.
Revenue: Provide the ability to recognize the revenue for a
quarter.
Planning: Helps in reducing the carrying associated with the
inventory.
Friendly UI: The application is user-friendly and welcomes
customizations when required.
Increases revenue: Reduces the processing time of an order
which ultimately contribute to increased revenue.
Dashboards: Provide executives with interactive dashboards that
help in making quick decisions.
Customer satisfaction: Customer experience is amazing as the
order process is quick and easy.
Competitor advantage: Oracle has a competitive advantage as
the order to cash and procures to pay cycles are seamless and
gives the business a holistic view of the live transactions.
1.2 Scope
The Scope of this project is to implement an ERP system for
Tesla Motor Company. A breakdown of the scope is as follows:
1. Review Tesla’s current business process and objectives and
come up with a list that addressed the current issues.
2. Map Tesla’s business process with Oracle's standard flows by
accommodating Tesla’s key business initiatives.
3. Provide Tesla with an ERP Application Implementation
Roadmap, which outlines all the programs that must be
performed within a given time frame.
4. In situations where standard flows do not meet Tesla’s
requirements, customizations will be done to the application to
meet the requirement.
2.Project Overview2.1 Project Description
Tesla motor company will be implementing Oracle e-business
platform version 12.2.3. This is the latest version that oracle hs
to offer. This version is known to have very little bugs and
Oracle has developed the necessary patches to overcome the
bugs. The implementation is scheduled to complete in 12
months. Tesla motor company will replace existing ERP system
like JD Edwards with Oracle by the beginning of 2020. The
implementation methodology is Aim for business flows also
called Show and Tell, which basically offers the customer with
the best standard solution oracle has to offer. The AIM
methodology is solution driven and the mapping of the business
process with the standard Oracle process is done in the design
phase of the project. multiple runs of conference room piloting
(CRP) sessions are done to minimize customizations and
provide the customer with a clear prototype of what the actual
system might look like in the future.
2.2 Problem Statement
Tesla is one of the fastest growing electric automobile giants in
the world. The integration within the current systems are not
seamless and are prone to data integrity issues. In addition, the
executives do not have the luxury to view dashboards that show
the values based on live transactions. Finally, the need to
implement a robust application is for supporting the growth of
the company and minimize the time and effort to involved in
closing the financial periods of a given month.
2.3 Goals
Business Goal 1: Minimize the time to close the inventory
accounting periods for the month
· Project Objective - Identify the stuck transactions that are
stopping the periods from closing
· Project Objective - Need to provide seamless integration
between the supply chain and financial modules.
· Project Objective- Provide instant alerts/ reporting of any
system issues that may prevent the closure of the periods.
Business Goal 2: Reduce the lead time to process a sales order
· Project Objective 2.1: Reduce the order booking time and
capturing the payment.
· Project Objective 2.2: Reduce the time to locate the inventory
and pack the order.
· Project Objective 2.3: Reduce the logistic time to ship the
order to the customer.
Business Goal 3: Reduce the lead time to process a purchase
order.
· Project Objective 3.1: Reduce the time to source a vendor.
· Project Objective 3.2: Reduce time to create a purchase order
and have it approved.
· Project Objective 3.3: Reduce time in receiving the item from
the supplier by providing seamless communications with the
supplier.
2.4 Project Background
Real tech will be implementing Oracle’s business suite of
applications for Tesla. The implementation is estimated to
complete in 1 year. The implementation will follow the
traditional waterfall approach for successful completion.
Stakeholders will be included in testing and signoff in every
phase of the project. The project will advance to the next phase
only after a formal signoff is received from the stakeholders of
Tesla. Tesla will be using the supply chain, manufacturing and
financial modules offered by Oracle. The single integrated
platform offered by Oracle will help Tesla capture the end to
end business transactions like procure to pay and order to cash
in a single system.
2.5 Product Objectives
Below are the primary product objectives of oracles business
suite of applications.
· Reduce the time taken to close the financial periods and create
financial statements for the executives for review.
· Show the accurate system quantity and adjust if the physical
quantity and the system quantity do not match.
· Reduce the lead time to create and fulfill a sales order placed
by the customer.
· Reduce the lead time to create a purchase order in the system.
· Provide effective communication methods between the
supplier and buyer to ensure timely delivery of the purchased
goods.
· Integrate the finance, supply chain and manufacturing modules
to streamline the order to cash and procure to pay flows in the
system.
· Reduce the time to collect manufacturing data and come up
with reports.
2.6 Assumptions, Constraints, and Dependencies

4.Schedule Component
4.1 Purpose/Overview
Project scheduling is a vehicle for communicating the tasks that
are currently worked on by the resources in a given timeframe.
To ensure successful delivery of the work that is currently being
worked on, a scheduling document must be created.
In Addition, a schedule is kicked off once the tasks are assigned
in the work break down the structure. The tasks can be
scheduled in an automatic or a manual way. In an automatic
schedule, the tasks are automatically scheduled when the
schedule of a single task is adjusted.
Milestones help review the progress of the project. Milestones
mark an important event in the project that needs to be met in
order to achieve successful progress in the project. Milestones
are benchmarks that help identify the potential roadblocks and
the risks associated with the project.
Another important component of scheduling is sequencing. A
task may not always require another task to depend on. A task
can be independently worked on based on the type of
sequencing. There are 4 types of sequencing:
· Finish to Start (FS)
· Start to Start (SS)
· Finish to Finish (FF)
· Start to Finish (SF)
Schedule Baseline
Tasks
Description
Creation of the Activity List and attributes
The functional analysts will sit down with the business and
gather requirements by way of interviewing, brainstorming and
prototyping techniques. Once the activities are collected, the
project manager and the project sponsor will decide the priority
of each activity and schedule the activities in the WBS.
Estimation of activity resources
The estimation of the activity is based on the story points that
are decided by the team. The resource allocation will be taken
care of by the project manager. The allocation is based on the
previous experience and the complexity of the project. An
estimate of the resource (equipment) is given by the project
manager to the sponsor to initiate the procurement.
Activity duration estimates
The duration of the activity is based on the point system. We
use an ascending odd number sequence for the level of
difficulty. For example, 1 is an easy task, 3 is a medium level
task that could take 1 week to complete and 5 is hard to level of
complexity which could take close to 2 weeks to complete the
task. In addition, tasks may not always be independent. There
could be some tasks that are dependent on the predecessor and
successor. In such a situation the estimation is manually
adjusted based on the real-time completion of tasks.
Approval of the schedule baseline
The approval of the baseline is made by the project manage and
the project sponsor. The approval of the schedule baseline is
important for the initiation of the project as the project cannot
be moved forward without the signoff of the schedule. Both
parties must take into consideration the unexpected delays that
could take place during the project.
Schedule Control
Performance reviews
The project managers review the project progress by looking at
the metrics that indicate if the milestones are met as per
schedule. The issues that arise during the project in terms of
scope, time and budget is compared to what was planned and
what has occurred. The issues that are not a roadblock can be
handled in the maintenance phase of the project. In addition, the
roadblock issues are presented to the change control board for
approval before any change is implemented in order to fix the
issues.
Schedule control thresholds
In the project, there are often delays due to unforeseen
circumstances. Before the project is initiated, a buffer for the
timeline and the budget must be considered. An 8% identified
risk is accepted and if the risk percentage is above 8%, the
board is to decide the on how to move forward with the risk.
The functional analysts can work 80% of their total availability.
The project managers can work 75% of their total time
available.
Schedule performance reporting
The change is schedule is done in the following way:
· Identify the issue
· Come up with the necessary action to overcome the issue.
· Document the change
· Submit the change to the CCB with the necessary
documentation.
· All the members of the CCB are free to ask questions openly
in the meeting
· Once the change board approves, update the project documents
· The change must be given to the team to work on.
· Action the change and update the project schedule.
5.Resource Plan with RACI
5.1Overview/Purpose
The purpose of this RACI matrix is to provide structure and
clarity on the tasks assigned to the respective stakeholders.
RACI makes sure that the assigned tasks are assigned to the
correct stakeholders based on accountability and responsibility.
In my project, I have identified the most important tasks that
need to have more visibility for the stakeholders and listed them
in the RACI matrix based on the priority and sequence of
events. Each task has at least one stakeholder who is
responsible for the successful implementation of the task. The
RACI matrix is discussed with all the stakeholders before the
start of the project.
5.2 Resourcing Strategy & Assumption
The resourcing strategy of the project is done by a Real tech
who is the implementing partner for Tesla. Real tech will source
all the project members that include business analysts, technical
consultants, testers and project managers. Tesla has awarded the
Oracle Implementation project to Real Tech and the duration of
the project is scheduled to complete with one year. The
implementation team will be present throughout the
implementation and support of the project. In addition, the
implementation team has a few offshore resources in India to
support the development work, which includes forms of
customization and report building. The project assumes that
there will not be any changes to the schedule of the projected on
all the stakeholder's review and approve the project schedule.
The procurement arrangements like the servers and office
equipment must be procured before the start of the project. The
project manager of the implementing partner is the focal point
of all schedule negotiations and resource allocation to the tasks.
The project managers must consider the key performance
indicators of the project to endure quality work is being done
and delivered on time.
5.3 Resourcing Development
The resources on the project are both on site and offshore. The
on-site team is responsible for the requirement gathering,
design, implementation, and post-go-live support of the project.
The offshore team are responsible for customization and report
the development of the project. The implementation of the
project assumes that the off-shore team will be available during
the on-site working hours. In addition, the offshore team must
be available 24/7 during the maintenance phase of the project
(support). All on-site team members must have access to
Microsoft products and experience with testing and automation.
Moreover, the team is required to have a working knowledge of
Visio to design flow charts that may be presented to the
sponsors for review and approval of the process document.
6.Risk Management Plan
.1 Review of Risk Management Plan
Oracle ERP system implementation is a massive undertaking for
a company. As implementing a new system will require a lot of
time, money and patience. Because of the size of an ERP
implementation, the execution of the project is prone to failures
and uneventful outcomes. Having a risk management plan will
help the company to proactively identify and mitigate the
various risks associated with implementing the Oracle
application.
A common misunderstanding is that IT is wholly responsible for
implementing the ERP application. Stakeholders and change
management managers must fully involve in the implementation
and ensure the proper functioning of the application post “Go
live”. Due to the nature of the testing, the managers may try to
fasten the testing phase to meet the go-live date. Good testing
will ensure a healthy system post go live. The testing of the
application is broken down into 3 phases namely
· Unit testing
· Integration testing
· User acceptance testing (UAT). we will discuss in more detail
later in the document.
.1 Risk Identification
The Oracle ERP system is designed to provide information to all
departments of the company in a seamless, uninterrupted and
accurate manner. As multiple systems are integrated into the
framework. The application is prone to a lot of risks. One of the
significant risks is that the stakeholders do not communicate
among the project members. This leads to inaccurate
requirements, which finally lead to the failure of the
implementation project. Most stakeholders simply neglect the
fact that stakeholder involvement is important to build a
successful ERP system.
Below are the risk identification techniques used in our
organization to identify risk.
· Documentation review: The lesson learned documents are
reviewed to understand what techniques were used to mitigate
or completely avoid the potential risk.
· Brainstorming- A group of people that includes stakeholders
and project team members are brought into a room and ideas
are asked for potential risk.
· Review of Risk Register- The risk register is reviewed when a
risk is predicted.The risk register will help us identify the root
cause of the risk and the ways to respond to the risk.
· Probability and impact matrix- This matrix will help us
identify the risks that require immediate attention.
6.3 Risk Analysis
The risk in the organization is analyzed based on the impact and
probability matrix:

6.4 Risk Monitoring Plan
The is monitored by the below process:
· Risk identification: The risk is identified and documented
before submitting to the project manager for review.
· Access: The risk is accessed and the prioritized based on the
values derived from the above matrix.
· Control: The risk is controlled based on the mitigation
strategies. In addition, the root cause is identified and updated
In the risk register.
· Monitor: The risk is periodically reviewed and the mitigation
strategies are kept in place to action the risk.
Below are the roles and responsibilities used to monitor risk.

7.4 Escalation Process
An action n plan is first developed to action concerning matters
in an efficient manner. The issue or concern must follow the
communication path in order to quickly direct the issue to the
concerned person for resolution. The escalation must clearly
identify the process to action the issue. Before escalating the
issue, the users must perform their due diligence and spend
some time before escalating the issue. Documentation of the
issue provides a great resource to resolve the issue in the future.
The escalation process:
1) Document and review the issue with the teams in the weekly
status report.
2) All team members must first escalate the issue to their
immediate manager before letting the higher-ups know about the
issue.
3) The issue must clearly be documented by describing the
mitigation strategies to resolve the risk.
4) All escalation must have the approval of the immediate
managers.
Flow chart of the escalation process:
. Procurement
The purpose of this document is to define all procurement
related activities for implementing Oracle for Tesla motors.
This section of the procurement management plan will outline
all the procurement management activities and resources that
are required for implementing the software. The document will
also give an idea of the risk involved in procuring the software.
The procurement strategy used by Tesla is called Fixed- Price
Contract. This type of contract is also called Lump- sum
contract. The reason for choosing this contract is that there is
no uncertainty in the scope of the project. The purchasing
module in the Oracle ERP software will help improve the
procure to pay cycle in the organization. The ERP
implementation partner is bound to finish the implementation
within one year at the cost of $350,000. The implementing
partner bears the risk of completing the project within the
schedule. The benefit of this contract is that both the buyer and
the seller know the scope of the project and the cost of
implementation.
Most of the times the sellers tend to give out the lowest bid at
the time RFQ and later try to make more money by adding extra
scope to the current project. The procurement manager is often
involved in negotiating with the sellers for reducing the price of
the items and provide the items as soon as possible. The due
date on the purchase order is the date when the buyer requires
the product and the promised date is the date when the seller
can promise the product to the buyer.
Below is the list of items that are required to be procured-
· Rack server for the software implementation
· Printer/ scanner
· Car for consultant travel
· Laptops
· Tables
· Chairs
· Internet
· Onsite office room
· Office supplies- paper, pen miscellaneous items used in office
· Outside consulting services
· Oracle license
· Consultants for implementation
· Security
· System maintenance
· Hardware and software installation
Key Players involved-
Raj- Buyer
Kevin- Buyer
Collin- Senior buyer
Govind- Procurement Manager.
The process of procurement takes place as follows:
The below process is fully processed in the purchasing and
Accounts payable module in Oracle.
RequisitionRequest for quotationQuotation Purchase order
Receipt of goods match receipt to invoice make payment.
The procurement process is initiated when the requester places a
requisition in Oracle. The requisition is sent for approval to the
procurement manager, once the manager approves the
requisition, the buyer will create a request for quotation. The
buyer will mention the item, quantity, target price, due date for
the quotation in the RFQ. This RFQ is sent to the suppliers and
the supplier’s response to RFQ is a quotation. The buyer will
receive multiple quotations based on the RFQ and approve one
quotation based on the best price and delivery. The buyer will
now create a PO and send it out the supplier. The supplier will
send goods to the buyer based on the purchase order. The buyer
inspects the goods that were received and then pay the supplier
for the goods accepted after inspection.
The procurement manager has a vital role in the procurement
process. The procurement manager is responsible for vendor
analysis. He must also build a good relationship with the
vendors that provide goods and services on time. A good
relationship with the vendor will help the business save time for
procuring any item. The Procurement manager and the vendor
must work together to adhere to the fixed contract terms
mentioned in the procurement contract.

The company will procure goods and services form its vendors
as and when it is required. Below Is the table that explains all

9. Cost
9.1 Introduction
The purpose of this document is to provide is to showcase the
elements of the cost management plan and the process to
introduce a change in the current cost management plan. The
elements of the cost management plan constitute a detailed view
of the money allocated the resources that were utilized in the
course of the project. The resources are both man and material
that was used in the implementation of the ERP software.
Cost Management Plan
A cost management Plan defines cost baseline, modifies it
whenever necessary, and uses it for monitoring and controlling
cost. A project cost management plan generally includes
descriptions, procedures, and responsibilities for items such as
Costs included, activity resource estimating, cost estimating,
cost baseline, budget determination, and cost control
9.2 Estimate Cost
The cost estimate is a process of providing an estimate of the
resources of that will be used throughout the duration of the
project. The project manager is responsible for maintaining the
resource sheet with up to date expenditure of resources. The
project manager is responsible to submit the resource sheet to
the sponsors when necessary. Below is a list of resources that
are used in the completion of the project.
Full-time employees’ cost
Temporary employees’ cost
Office supplies
Oracle software license
Oracle support fees
Offshore team expense
Hardware cost
Third-party software installation fees
9.3 Contingency Reserve Project Purpose or Justification
The contingency reserve is an independent cost that is set aside
in case of overcoming issues related to unforeseen
circumstances. Although the funds are made available, the
project manager is responsible for documenting the expenditure
and getting formal approval from the sponsors before utilizing
the funds. A buffer of 15% is kept aside as apart of the
contingency reserve.
9.4 Budget
The budget gives the actual money incurred in the utilization of
resources. The budget is explained below

Cost Control and Monitoring
9.5 Performance Monitoring
The costs incurred in implementing the ERP software will be
monitored in a periodic manner by comparing the actual cost vs
the planned cost listed in the above table. The project manager
is responsible for monitoring the costs on a weekly basis and
report the discrepancies to the sponsors. The report will give a
clear idea to the sponsors if the project is over or under
schedule. Before the start of the project, 10% of the entire
project cost is allocated toward a contingency reserve. At the
time of an unforeseen event, the project manager should get
approval from the sponsor to overcome the unfortunate event.
9.6 Project Reports
Please see attached-
9.7 Cost Change Control
When a change to the cost baseline is identified, the project
manager should present the change to the change control board
and get the approval before implementing the change. The
approval of the CCB is required because the change may affect
the budget and schedule of the project. Please see section 10 of
the plan to understand the change control process
10. Integrated Change Control
10.1- Introduction to change control process.
The change control process is initiated when a change is
required to be implemented in the project. The project manager
records the change in the changelog present in the IT shared
drive. The change is entered by entering the scope, budget and
schedule and the impact of the change to the organization. In
addition, the necessary steps to implement the change and the
rollback plan in the case so an error at the time of implementing
the change is described in the change request document. The
project manager sets the priority of the change to high, medium
or low based on the urgency of implementing the change. If the
change request is accepted by the CCB, the employees who are
responsible to implement the change are notified to implement
the change. In case the change is rejected, the changelog is
updated and closed.
10.2 Change control flow chart:
Change control evaluation:
The change is to implement a license module. Tesla has recently
started building manufacturing plants in China and Europe. The
currently implemented modules do not capture freight
shipments, export duties, compliance policies. The customs
form will act as a Bolton to the current order to cash process.
The customization will require the development team to develop
a custom form which captures all the export information before
shipping the order through an oracle.
The benefit of change: The manual process of capturing data in
a paper-based format will be removed. All information will be
stored electronically and provide a streamlined process to the
order to cash process.
Cost of implementing the change: $60,000
Impact to project schedule (including testing)- 30 days.

This section provides control for the development and
distribution of revisions to the Project Plan. The Project Plan
changes throughout the project life cycle. It is developed at the
beginning of the project (immediately following project
initiation approval, and in the earliest stages of project
planning). The Project Plan provides an ongoing reference for
all project stakeholders. The table below includes the revision
number (defined within your Documentation Plan Outline), the
date of update/issue, the author responsible for the changes, and

1. Document Overview
1.1 Introduction
The P Project Management Plan provides a statement of how
and when a project's objectives are to be achieved, by showing
the major products, milestones, activities and resources required
on the project. It is used as a baseline against which to monitor
project progress and cost stage by stage. It provides the
business case with planned project costs and it identifies the
management stages and other major control points.
The Project Management Plan provides an overview of the
purpose, scope and objectives of the project for which the Plan
has been written, the project assumptions and constraints, a list
of project deliverables, a summary of the project schedule and
budget, and the plan for evolving the Project Management Plan.
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of the Project Management Plan is to gather all
information necessary to control the project. It describes the
approach to the development of the software and is the top-level
plan generated and used by managers to direct the development
effort.
The following people use the Project Management Plan:
· The project manager uses it to plan the project schedule and
resource needs, and to track progress against the schedule.
· Project team members use it to understand what they need to
do, when they need to do it, and what other activities they are
dependent upon.
1.3 Scope
This Project Management Plan describes the overall plan to be
used by the Educator Information System (EIS) project,
including deployment of the product. The details of the
individual iterations will be described in the Iteration Plans.
The plans as outlined in this document are based upon the
product requirements as defined in the Functional Requirements
Document.
1.4 Overview
This Project Management Plan contains the following
information:
Project Overview — provides a description of the project's

2.1 Project Description
The Educator Information System (EIS) Project was created to
reengineer, and implement an information system to support, the
educator certification processes for the Maryland State
Department of Education (MSDE), Division of Certification and
Accreditation (C&A).
The product of this project is a Web-based Automated Educator
Information System that will allow secured storage, rapid
retrieval, and a clear presentation of relevant certification
information for evaluation
The Educator Information System (EIS) is a partnership
between the Division of Certification and Accreditation and
Invoke.
During fiscal year 2001 (FY01), The Maryland State
Department of Education - Teacher Certification Division,
initiated the Educator Information System (EIS). The EIS is
envisioned to become an integrated and comprehensive system
designed to automate the educator certification process. The
project spans over several fiscal years, Phase I started in
January 2001 and is scheduled to be completed by January
2002. Funds for Phase I of the EIS Project were encumbered
during FY01. The FY01 outcomes and benefits of Phase I
include: web-based technology, sophisticated software, and
powerful hardware to significantly improve the speed and
quality of the certification process in Maryland. The new
educator certification process will include on-line interactivity
with certificate holders and local school systems, as well as
scanning capabilities to store and retrieve documents.
Specifically, the FY01 outcomes and benefits associated with
the EIS project can be categorized into six distinct groups: 1.)
Current Certification Workflow Analysis, 2.) Requirement
Analysis, 3.)
Solution
s Analysis, 4.) Comprehensive System Design, 5.) Web Site,
and 6.) Document Storage. An expanded discussion of each of
these is provided below.
1. The Current Certification Workflow Analysis consisted of
documenting the current teacher certification processes, sub-
processes and roles. This activity was completed during FY01,
with the completion of the final MSDE EIS Current Workflow
Analysis - Final As-Is Process Model on 30 April 01.
2. As of September 2001 the Requirement Analysis Document is
undergoing final review and expected to be completed by mid
October 2001. Virtually all of the current and future
requirements for the EIS, including that of the Local School
Systems (LSS), have been identified and documented. The draft
MSDE Teacher Certification Requirements Analysis Educator
Information System Functional Requirements (MSDE EIS and
LSS Combined) Document was completed on 27 August 01.

The company specializes in electric car manufacturing and, through its SolarCity subsidiary, solar panel manufacturing. Real Tech Inc is an Oracle implementation specialist and an Oracle platinum partner. Tesla has awarded Real Tech Inc to implement the e-business suite of applications in its headquarters situated in Freemont, California. The suite of
  • 4. applications contains modules like Inventory management, Order management, Discrete manufacturing (Work In the process, Bills of materials) and financial modules (Accounts payable, receivable, Fixed assets and general ledger). The duration of the project is estimated to be 1 year (on the higher side). The team consists of 6 functional consultants, one database administrator, one Project Manager, one ERP practice head. 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this project is to implement Oracle's business suite of applications for Tesla. The implementation will consist of replacing the existing application which is JD Edwards with oracle’s supply chain and discrete manufacturing modules. Oracle is a single platform that integrates multiple modules in order to enable the business to run on single software. The implementation will consist of the following modules: Inventory (INV) Purchasing (PO) Order Management (OM) Work in process (WIP) Bills of Materials (BOM) Implementing the above-mentioned modules will help the business in the following ways: Reporting: Improves reporting of live transactions of the business. Data Quality Helps in identifying the customer/suppliers that are not active and eliminate the records instantly. Credit & Debit: Centralizes the credit and debit transactions in the organization. Revenue: Provide the ability to recognize the revenue for a quarter. Planning: Helps in reducing the carrying associated with the inventory. Friendly UI: The application is user-friendly and welcomes customizations when required.
  • 5. Increases revenue: Reduces the processing time of an order which ultimately contribute to increased revenue. Dashboards: Provide executives with interactive dashboards that help in making quick decisions. Customer satisfaction: Customer experience is amazing as the order process is quick and easy. Competitor advantage: Oracle has a competitive advantage as the order to cash and procures to pay cycles are seamless and gives the business a holistic view of the live transactions. 1.2 Scope The Scope of this project is to implement an ERP system for Tesla Motor Company. A breakdown of the scope is as follows: 1. Review Tesla’s current business process and objectives and come up with a list that addressed the current issues. 2. Map Tesla’s business process with Oracle's standard flows by accommodating Tesla’s key business initiatives. 3. Provide Tesla with an ERP Application Implementation Roadmap, which outlines all the programs that must be performed within a given time frame. 4. In situations where standard flows do not meet Tesla’s requirements, customizations will be done to the application to meet the requirement. 2.Project Overview2.1 Project Description Tesla motor company will be implementing Oracle e-business platform version 12.2.3. This is the latest version that oracle hs to offer. This version is known to have very little bugs and Oracle has developed the necessary patches to overcome the bugs. The implementation is scheduled to complete in 12 months. Tesla motor company will replace existing ERP system like JD Edwards with Oracle by the beginning of 2020. The implementation methodology is Aim for business flows also called Show and Tell, which basically offers the customer with the best standard solution oracle has to offer. The AIM
  • 6. methodology is solution driven and the mapping of the business process with the standard Oracle process is done in the design phase of the project. multiple runs of conference room piloting (CRP) sessions are done to minimize customizations and provide the customer with a clear prototype of what the actual system might look like in the future. 2.2 Problem Statement Tesla is one of the fastest growing electric automobile giants in the world. The integration within the current systems are not seamless and are prone to data integrity issues. In addition, the executives do not have the luxury to view dashboards that show the values based on live transactions. Finally, the need to implement a robust application is for supporting the growth of the company and minimize the time and effort to involved in closing the financial periods of a given month. 2.3 Goals Business Goal 1: Minimize the time to close the inventory accounting periods for the month · Project Objective - Identify the stuck transactions that are stopping the periods from closing · Project Objective - Need to provide seamless integration between the supply chain and financial modules. · Project Objective- Provide instant alerts/ reporting of any system issues that may prevent the closure of the periods.

To ensure successful delivery of the work that is currently being worked on, a scheduling document must be created. In Addition, a schedule is kicked off once the tasks are assigned in the work break down the structure. The tasks can be scheduled in an automatic or a manual way. In an automatic schedule, the tasks are automatically scheduled when the schedule of a single task is adjusted. Milestones help review the progress of the project. Milestones mark an important event in the project that needs to be met in order to achieve successful progress in the project. Milestones are benchmarks that help identify the potential roadblocks and the risks associated with the project. Another important component of scheduling is sequencing. A task may not always require another task to depend on. A task can be independently worked on based on the type of sequencing. There are 4 types of sequencing: · Finish to Start (FS) · Start to Start (SS) · Finish to Finish (FF) · Start to Finish (SF) Schedule Baseline Tasks Description Creation of the Activity List and attributes The functional analysts will sit down with the business and
  • 19. gather requirements by way of interviewing, brainstorming and prototyping techniques. Once the activities are collected, the project manager and the project sponsor will decide the priority of each activity and schedule the activities in the WBS. Estimation of activity resources The estimation of the activity is based on the story points that are decided by the team. The resource allocation will be taken care of by the project manager. The allocation is based on the previous experience and the complexity of the project. An estimate of the resource (equipment) is given by the project manager to the sponsor to initiate the procurement. Activity duration estimates The duration of the activity is based on the point system. We use an ascending odd number sequence for the level of difficulty. For example, 1 is an easy task, 3 is a medium level task that could take 1 week to complete and 5 is hard to level of complexity which could take close to 2 weeks to complete the task. In addition, tasks may not always be independent. There could be some tasks that are dependent on the predecessor and successor. In such a situation the estimation is manually adjusted based on the real-time completion of tasks. Approval of the schedule baseline The approval of the baseline is made by the project manage and the project sponsor. The approval of the schedule baseline is important for the initiation of the project as the project cannot be moved forward without the signoff of the schedule. Both parties must take into consideration the unexpected delays that could take place during the project. Schedule Control Performance reviews The project managers review the project progress by looking at the metrics that indicate if the milestones are met as per schedule. The issues that arise during the project in terms of scope, time and budget is compared to what was planned and
  • 20. what has occurred. The issues that are not a roadblock can be handled in the maintenance phase of the project. In addition, the roadblock issues are presented to the change control board for approval before any change is implemented in order to fix the issues. Schedule control thresholds In the project, there are often delays due to unforeseen circumstances. Before the project is initiated, a buffer for the timeline and the budget must be considered. An 8% identified risk is accepted and if the risk percentage is above 8%, the board is to decide the on how to move forward with the risk. The functional analysts can work 80% of their total availability. The project managers can work 75% of their total time available. Schedule performance reporting The change is schedule is done in the following way: · Identify the issue · Come up with the necessary action to overcome the issue. · Document the change · Submit the change to the CCB with the necessary documentation. · All the members of the CCB are free to ask questions openly in the meeting · Once the change board approves, update the project documents · The change must be given to the team to work on. · Action the change and update the project schedule. 5.Resource Plan with RACI 5.1Overview/Purpose The purpose of this RACI matrix is to provide structure and
  • 21. clarity on the tasks assigned to the respective stakeholders. RACI makes sure that the assigned tasks are assigned to the correct stakeholders based on accountability and responsibility. In my project, I have identified the most important tasks that need to have more visibility for the stakeholders and listed them in the RACI matrix based on the priority and sequence of events. Each task has at least one stakeholder who is responsible for the successful implementation of the task. The RACI matrix is discussed with all the stakeholders before the start of the project. 5.2 Resourcing Strategy & Assumption The resourcing strategy of the project is done by a Real tech who is the implementing partner for Tesla. Real tech will source all the project members that include business analysts, technical consultants, testers and project managers. Tesla has awarded the Oracle Implementation project to Real Tech and the duration of the project is scheduled to complete with one year. The implementation team will be present throughout the implementation and support of the project. In addition, the implementation team has a few offshore resources in India to support the development work, which includes forms of customization and report building. The project assumes that there will not be any changes to the schedule of the projected on all the stakeholder's review and approve the project schedule. The procurement arrangements like the servers and office equipment must be procured before the start of the project. The project manager of the implementing partner is the focal point of all schedule negotiations and resource allocation to the tasks. The project managers must consider the key performance indicators of the project to endure quality work is being done and delivered on time. 5.3 Resourcing Development
  • 22. The resources on the project are both on site and offshore. The on-site team is responsible for the requirement gathering, design, implementation, and post-go-live support of the project. The offshore team are responsible for customization and report the development of the project. The implementation of the project assumes that the off-shore team will be available during the on-site working hours. In addition, the offshore team must be available 24/7 during the maintenance phase of the project (support). All on-site team members must have access to Microsoft products and experience with testing and automation. Moreover, the team is required to have a working knowledge of Visio to design flow charts that may be presented to the sponsors for review and approval of the process document. 6.Risk Management Plan .1 Review of Risk Management Plan Oracle ERP system implementation is a massive undertaking for a company. As implementing a new system will require a lot of time, money and patience. Because of the size of an ERP implementation, the execution of the project is prone to failures and uneventful outcomes. Having a risk management plan will help the company to proactively identify and mitigate the various risks associated with implementing the Oracle application. A common misunderstanding is that IT is wholly responsible for implementing the ERP application. Stakeholders and change management managers must fully involve in the implementation and ensure the proper functioning of the application post “Go live”. Due to the nature of the testing, the managers may try to fasten the testing phase to meet the go-live date. Good testing will ensure a healthy system post go live. The testing of the application is broken down into 3 phases namely · Unit testing · Integration testing
  • 23. · User acceptance testing (UAT). we will discuss in more detail later in the document. .1 Risk Identification The Oracle ERP system is designed to provide information to all departments of the company in a seamless, uninterrupted and accurate manner. As multiple systems are integrated into the framework. The application is prone to a lot of risks. One of the significant risks is that the stakeholders do not communicate among the project members. This leads to inaccurate requirements, which finally lead to the failure of the implementation project. Most stakeholders simply neglect the fact that stakeholder involvement is important to build a successful ERP system. Below are the risk identification techniques used in our organization to identify risk. · Documentation review: The lesson learned documents are reviewed to understand what techniques were used to mitigate or completely avoid the potential risk. · Brainstorming- A group of people that includes stakeholders and project team members are brought into a room and ideas are asked for potential risk. · Review of Risk Register- The risk register is reviewed when a risk is predicted.The risk register will help us identify the root cause of the risk and the ways to respond to the risk. · Probability and impact matrix- This matrix will help us identify the risks that require immediate attention. 6.3 Risk Analysis The risk in the organization is analyzed based on the impact and probability matrix: Impact Status Impact factor Description High
  • 24. 3 The risk needs immediate attention. The risk must be responded with necessary mitigation strategies. Medium 2 The risk may interfere with the critical path Low 1 The risk may not interfere immediately with the critical path.

The response to risk can be prioritized and actioned based on the below table. 2 2.5 3 1 1.5 2.5 0 1 2 Low medium high High Medium Low 6.4 Risk Monitoring Plan The is monitored by the below process: · Risk identification: The risk is identified and documented before submitting to the project manager for review. · Access: The risk is accessed and the prioritized based on the values derived from the above matrix. · Control: The risk is controlled based on the mitigation strategies. In addition, the root cause is identified and updated In the risk register. · Monitor: The risk is periodically reviewed and the mitigation strategies are kept in place to action the risk. Below are the roles and responsibilities used to monitor risk. Role
  • 26. Responsibilities Project Manager · Analyze risk, establish contingency plans and identify trigger events and responsibilities for initiating mitigating action. Customer project Sponsor · Approve change in strategies based on anticipated risk Business Consultant · Serve as a primary architect of the business model for given Oracle implementation. · Identify the risk and present it to higher management. Customer solution expert · Map and validate performance indicators Project Team Lead · Analyze risk, establish contingency plans and identify trigger events and responsibilities for initiating mitigating action. Data migration architect · Setting up a concept for migration (data and application) and the transition approach regarding time, costs and risk 7.Communications Plan 7.1 Overview/Purpose The purpose of the communication plan is to ensure the Project Management Improvement Project provides relevant, accurate, and consistent project information to project stakeholders and other appropriate audiences. By effectively communicating the project can accomplish its work with the support and cooperation of each stakeholder group. The communication plan provides a framework to manage and coordinate a wide variety of communications that take place
  • 27. during the project. The communication plan covers who will receive the communications, how the communications will be delivered, what information will be communicated, who communicates, and the frequency of the communications. The following outlines the targeted audiences, the key communication messages to be delivered, and the method for delivering the information, the communicator, and the frequency of the delivery. 7.2 Communication Message and Delivery (Matrix) Audience Message Delivery Method Delivery Frequency Communicator Finance department On hand quantity report update Ticketing system Daily Plant manager Gap Analysis in the current process Gap analysis is done on the current process to identify gaps Word document is emailed to the IT department to action the current gaps Monthly Process improvement department Change control board.

  • 29. 6) The versions of the attachments must be updated when a change is made. 7) Signature is required in all email communications. 8) Email chains must be attached where required. Communication Guidelines—Meetings: 1) Meetings must have pre-published agendas, prior to meeting request…agenda must accompany the OUTLOOK meeting request. 2) Attendees must be present 5 minutes before the meeting starts. 3) The meeting initiator must make sure the remote attendees are connected to the meeting. 3) Projector and must be used when a PPT is presented. 4) Meetings must not extend the allocated time. 5)The meeting should not deviate from this agenda. 6) All necessary people must be invited to the meeting. 7) Swear words are strictly prohibited in the meetings. . 7.4 Escalation Process An action n plan is first developed to action concerning matters in an efficient manner. The issue or concern must follow the communication path in order to quickly direct the issue to the concerned person for resolution. The escalation must clearly identify the process to action the issue. Before escalating the issue, the users must perform their due diligence and spend some time before escalating the issue. Documentation of the issue provides a great resource to resolve the issue in the future. The escalation process: 1) Document and review the issue with the teams in the weekly status report. 2) All team members must first escalate the issue to their immediate manager before letting the higher-ups know about the
  • 30. issue. 3) The issue must clearly be documented by describing the mitigation strategies to resolve the risk. 4) All escalation must have the approval of the immediate managers. Flow chart of the escalation process: . Procurement The purpose of this document is to define all procurement related activities for implementing Oracle for Tesla motors. This section of the procurement management plan will outline all the procurement management activities and resources that are required for implementing the software. The document will also give an idea of the risk involved in procuring the software. The procurement strategy used by Tesla is called Fixed- Price Contract. This type of contract is also called Lump- sum contract. The reason for choosing this contract is that there is no uncertainty in the scope of the project. The purchasing module in the Oracle ERP software will help improve the procure to pay cycle in the organization. The ERP implementation partner is bound to finish the implementation within one year at the cost of $350,000. The implementing partner bears the risk of completing the project within the schedule. The benefit of this contract is that both the buyer and the seller know the scope of the project and the cost of implementation. Most of the times the sellers tend to give out the lowest bid at the time RFQ and later try to make more money by adding extra scope to the current project. The procurement manager is often involved in negotiating with the sellers for reducing the price of the items and provide the items as soon as possible. The due date on the purchase order is the date when the buyer requires
  • 31. the product and the promised date is the date when the seller can promise the product to the buyer. Below is the list of items that are required to be procured- · Rack server for the software implementation · Printer/ scanner · Car for consultant travel · Laptops · Tables · Chairs · Internet · Onsite office room · Office supplies- paper, pen miscellaneous items used in office · Outside consulting services · Oracle license · Consultants for implementation · Security · System maintenance · Hardware and software installation Key Players involved- Raj- Buyer Kevin- Buyer Collin- Senior buyer Govind- Procurement Manager. The process of procurement takes place as follows: The below process is fully processed in the purchasing and Accounts payable module in Oracle. RequisitionRequest for quotationQuotation Purchase order Receipt of goods match receipt to invoice make payment. The procurement process is initiated when the requester places a
  • 32. requisition in Oracle. The requisition is sent for approval to the procurement manager, once the manager approves the requisition, the buyer will create a request for quotation. The buyer will mention the item, quantity, target price, due date for the quotation in the RFQ. This RFQ is sent to the suppliers and the supplier’s response to RFQ is a quotation. The buyer will receive multiple quotations based on the RFQ and approve one quotation based on the best price and delivery. The buyer will now create a PO and send it out the supplier. The supplier will send goods to the buyer based on the purchase order. The buyer inspects the goods that were received and then pay the supplier for the goods accepted after inspection. The procurement manager has a vital role in the procurement process. The procurement manager is responsible for vendor analysis. He must also build a good relationship with the vendors that provide goods and services on time. A good relationship with the vendor will help the business save time for procuring any item. The Procurement manager and the vendor must work together to adhere to the fixed contract terms mentioned in the procurement contract. Procurement schedule- The company will procure goods and services form its vendors as and when it is required. Below Is the table that explains all the items that need to be procured.

Cost 9.1 Introduction The purpose of this document is to provide is to showcase the elements of the cost management plan and the process to introduce a change in the current cost management plan. The elements of the cost management plan constitute a detailed view of the money allocated the resources that were utilized in the
  • 36. course of the project. The resources are both man and material that was used in the implementation of the ERP software. Cost Management Plan A cost management Plan defines cost baseline, modifies it whenever necessary, and uses it for monitoring and controlling cost. A project cost management plan generally includes descriptions, procedures, and responsibilities for items such as Costs included, activity resource estimating, cost estimating, cost baseline, budget determination, and cost control 9.2 Estimate Cost The cost estimate is a process of providing an estimate of the resources of that will be used throughout the duration of the project. The project manager is responsible for maintaining the resource sheet with up to date expenditure of resources. The project manager is responsible to submit the resource sheet to the sponsors when necessary. Below is a list of resources that are used in the completion of the project. Full-time employees’ cost Temporary employees’ cost Office supplies Oracle software license Oracle support fees Offshore team expense Hardware cost Third-party software installation fees 9.3 Contingency Reserve Project Purpose or Justification The contingency reserve is an independent cost that is set aside in case of overcoming issues related to unforeseen circumstances. Although the funds are made available, the project manager is responsible for documenting the expenditure and getting formal approval from the sponsors before utilizing

Quarterly Budget: Q1 $72,861.00 Q2 $200,069.60 Q3 $50,988.00 Q4 $149,600.00 Total $473,518 Cost Control and Monitoring 9.5 Performance Monitoring The costs incurred in implementing the ERP software will be monitored in a periodic manner by comparing the actual cost vs the planned cost listed in the above table. The project manager is responsible for monitoring the costs on a weekly basis and report the discrepancies to the sponsors. The report will give a clear idea to the sponsors if the project is over or under schedule. Before the start of the project, 10% of the entire project cost is allocated toward a contingency reserve. At the time of an unforeseen event, the project manager should get approval from the sponsor to overcome the unfortunate event. 9.6 Project Reports
  • 39. Please see attached- 9.7 Cost Change Control When a change to the cost baseline is identified, the project manager should present the change to the change control board and get the approval before implementing the change. The approval of the CCB is required because the change may affect the budget and schedule of the project. Please see section 10 of the plan to understand the change control process 10. Integrated Change Control 10.1- Introduction to change control process. The change control process is initiated when a change is required to be implemented in the project. The project manager records the change in the changelog present in the IT shared drive. The change is entered by entering the scope, budget and schedule and the impact of the change to the organization. In addition, the necessary steps to implement the change and the rollback plan in the case so an error at the time of implementing the change is described in the change request document. The project manager sets the priority of the change to high, medium or low based on the urgency of implementing the change. If the change request is accepted by the CCB, the employees who are responsible to implement the change are notified to implement the change. In case the change is rejected, the changelog is updated and closed. 10.2 Change control flow chart: Change control evaluation: The change is to implement a license module. Tesla has recently started building manufacturing plants in China and Europe. The currently implemented modules do not capture freight shipments, export duties, compliance policies. The customs

The customization will require the development team to develop a custom form which captures all the export information before shipping the order through an oracle. The benefit of change: The manual process of capturing data in a paper-based format will be removed. All information will be stored electronically and provide a streamlined process to the order to cash process. Cost of implementing the change: $60,000 Impact to project schedule (including testing)- 30 days.

Project Overview This section of the Project Management Plan provides an overview of the purpose, scope and objectives of the project for which the Plan has been written, the project assumptions and constraints, a list of project deliverables, a summary of the project schedule and budget, and the plan for evolving the Project Management Plan. 2.1 Project Description The Educator Information System (EIS) Project was created to reengineer, and implement an information system to support, the educator certification processes for the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE), Division of Certification and Accreditation (C&A). The product of this project is a Web-based Automated Educator Information System that will allow secured storage, rapid retrieval, and a clear presentation of relevant certification information for evaluation The Educator Information System (EIS) is a partnership between the Division of Certification and Accreditation and Invoke. During fiscal year 2001 (FY01), The Maryland State Department of Education - Teacher Certification Division, initiated the Educator Information System (EIS). The EIS is envisioned to become an integrated and comprehensive system designed to automate the educator certification process. The
  • 69. project spans over several fiscal years, Phase I started in January 2001 and is scheduled to be completed by January 2002. Funds for Phase I of the EIS Project were encumbered during FY01. The FY01 outcomes and benefits of Phase I include: web-based technology, sophisticated software, and powerful hardware to significantly improve the speed and quality of the certification process in Maryland. The new educator certification process will include on-line interactivity with certificate holders and local school systems, as well as scanning capabilities to store and retrieve documents. Specifically, the FY01 outcomes and benefits associated with the EIS project can be categorized into six distinct groups: 1.) Current Certification Workflow Analysis, 2.) Requirement Analysis, 3.) Solution s Analysis, 4.) Comprehensive System Design, 5.) Web Site, and 6.) Document Storage. An expanded discussion of each of these is provided below. 1. The Current Certification Workflow Analysis consisted of documenting the current teacher certification processes, sub- processes and roles. This activity was completed during FY01, with the completion of the final MSDE EIS Current Workflow Analysis - Final As-Is Process Model on 30 April 01. 2. As of September 2001 the Requirement Analysis Document is undergoing final review and expected to be completed by mid
