Frequently Asked Questionnaire (FAQ)

Kingstone-Bryce Limited
Frequently Asked Questionnaire (FAQ)
What is the purpose or definition of the project?
The primary purpose of this project is to increase the
profitability of Kingstone-Bryce
4. Limited by improving the quality of the products that we
produce to achieve a competitive
advantage. We will require additional resources and also work
as a team to meet the project
scope.
What is the timeline of the project?
The goals of the project should be completed by the end of the
financial year 2021. The
financial year runs from January to December, just like the
calendar year.
What is the project budget?
The projected cost that we need to achieve the profitability that
we projected is $5000. The
budget includes costs like the labor costs of $1000 since we will
need to employ an
additional workforce to achieve the deliverables of the project
within the financial year
2021. There is also a material and procurement cost of $2000 to
secure the raw materials.
Other operational costs, such as the bill payment of power and
water, will be $1000. An
allocation for the unforeseen circumstances will be $500, with
the other $500 allocated for
5. payment of taxation needs.
Who are the stakeholders in the project?
The project will have five key stakeholders, including the
customers, the quality
improvement will directly impact our customers, and therefore
they will be the first group
of stakeholders. The investors are also other stakeholders as
they invest their capital in the
business in terms of shares. They expect to earn specific rates
on the invested capital; thus,
making any changes in the Company would require them
("Stakeholder," 2021). They are
also the providers of the working capital that will make it
possible to continue with the
quality improvement project. The suppliers are also important
stakeholders. This project
will require a constant supply of high-quality raw materials.
The government is also an
automatic stakeholder since the business requires authorization
to produce a particular
product, and also the government generates income through
taxation. The government can
6. also be a shareholder in the Company or even offer grants to
fund the project.
The community members are also stakeholders since, with
increased production, the
Company will need to expand its size in terms of land, and the
community owns this land.
They should therefore be kept happy to sell it to the Company.
Who will manage the project?
The project will be managed by a project manager who will
select a project team to ensure
all the project outcomes are achieved by the end of the specified
period.
What project management tool or methodology will be used in
the project?
The project will utilize the six-sigma project methodology that
helps in the continuous
improvement in all the aspects of the project. It involves first
defining the objectives and
the scope that the project is expected to meet. There is also a
measurement phase that
details the metrics in which the project outcome is evaluated.
For example, we can evaluate
after every three months to see if we are going according to
plan. There is also an analysis
7. phase that focuses on finding the root cause of the problem. For
instance, the problem of
reduced profitability is caused by the reduction in the quality of
our products. The next
phase is to improve where we come up with solutions to the
problem, such as improving
the quality by either changing suppliers or going for a quality
raw material. Then there is
the control phase, which involves evaluating the implemented
solution, which is the change
of suppliers and standardizing the entire process.
What evaluation technique will be used?
The Company will use the goal-based outcome evaluation
method to ensure high quality
and profitability are achieved.
What are the project team collaboration tips?
After selecting the project team, we will give them a common
goal to be achieved, thus
encouraging collaboration and success will also be rewarded.
