The document discusses project control and outlines its key aspects:
1. It describes how project control is needed when monitoring indicates a project is behind schedule, over budget, or not meeting quality standards.
2. It identifies the key resources available for project control: money, manpower, materials, and machinery.
3. The elements of project control include re-allocating resources like staff, equipment, finances, and materials. It also involves adjusting the project's size or scope.
4. The mechanisms of project control include cybernetic control which uses feedback loops to monitor outputs, compare them to standards, and trigger corrective actions when needed.

PROJECT PLAN-BUSINESS REQUIREMENT DOCUMENT 2
Abstract
The project plan inception has been complete in last week with introduction documenting the cur-
rent IT network and that system is very important. Many kinds of businesses have an operation in place
to help with project management and implementation requirement. There is a chance for improvement
includes making suitable assessments of how to size a project is and project cost estimated.
There are multiple various names for tools that used with for this process: business needs requirement
and specification, requirements specification or, simply, business requirements. Business requirements
are the significant works of a company that must be done to make the company successful. And a busi-
ness requirements document (BRD) means company work documentation. The BRD process can be
incorporated within a Six Sigma DMAIC Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control culture.
Completion of a quality requirements document allows user needs and expectations to be captured, so
that infrastructure and information systems can be designed properly. Using the requirements document
provided in the course shell as a part of the requirements gathering process. You are to assess the needs
of the company as it prepares to become a multinational organization. You must consider current and
future trends and requirements; however, assumptions should be realistic and carefully considered. The
needs of the organization should be documented. Later deliverables will focus on specifics of all re-
quirements.
In the Business Require Document of this project I will describe the project summary and project
scope of work. In the scope, I will explain how to control the scope. Then I will describe the possible
risks, then integration with database and data warehousing, cloud technology and Virtualization, and
security level. The Project plan in MS Project (.mpp file) will be in the second attaced.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

22. 1. How can we tell when PC is needed?
Why are they “primitive”?
- May be biased.
- Do not consider that progress may be
overestimated or underestimated due to:
- execution of unscheduled work done, or
- execution of more work of low value and less work of high
value

- RIt < 1
- CVt is –ve
- CIt <1
- SVt is –ve
- SIt is < 1
- TVt is –ve
- TIt is < 1
27. 2. Resources for Project Control
Money
Machinery (Equipment)
Materials and Supplies
Manpower (Labor and Supervision)
28. Money as a PC Resource
Not a direct resource
Rather, used to influence the amounts
or quality of the other resources
29. Using Equipment for PC
Often used to augment labor in order to
speed up project
Can be expensive
May involve renting or purchasing
30. Materials and Supplies as a PC Resource
Increase in quality or quantity may be
necessary to enhance project control
Improved inventory systems for materials
31. Manpower as a PC Resource
Project problems (time delays, excess costs,
poor performance, etc.) are partly due to the
human element (action or inaction)
In using Manpower as a tool for project
control, PM encounters human emotions
(anger, fear, frustration, etc.)
34. 3. Elements of Project Control
Manpower-related control
Machinery-related control
Money-related control
Material-related control
3A. Resource-related
Re-allocate resources
35. Elements of Project Control
Manpower
Machinery
Money
Materials
3A. Resource-related
Re-allocate resources
Also referred to as ”Human Resource Control”
- Lay-off/fire any under-performing staff
- Hire staff with needed skills
- Assign staff with specific skills to specific
activities
Issues:
-PM may be seen as a “stern disciplinarian”
- PM must avoid heavy handed actions,
- Fix problems without blaming people
36. Elements of Project Control
Manpower
Machinery
Money
Materials
3A. Resource-related
Re-allocate resources
Also referred to as ”Physical Asset Control”
- Decommission any under-performing equipment
- Bring in equipment with appropriate capabilities
- Re-assign specific equipment to specific activities
37. Elements of Project Control

Machinery
Money
Materials
3A. Resource-related
Re-allocate resources
Also referred to as ”Physical Asset Control”
- Decommission any under-performing equipment
- Bring in equipment with appropriate capabilities
- Re-assign specific equipment to specific activities
Issues:
- Equipment decisions may involve some economic
analysis
- Equipment-based control easier than manpower-
based control
- Some trade-off may exist between manpower and
equipment utilization.
38. Elements of Project Control
Manpower
Machinery
Money
Materials
3A. Resource-related
Re-allocate resources
Also referred to as ”Financial Resource Control”
- How much money should be spent?
- How should it be spent?

- Project accountant
- Project Finance Manager
39. Elements of Project Control
Manpower
Machinery
Money
Materials
3A. Resource-related

45. Cybernetic control mechanisms
Process
Comparator
Standards
Effector
and
Decision-
maker
Outputs
Inputs Mechanism:
- System output monitored by
sensor
- Sensor measurements
transmitted to Comparator
- Measurements compared
with predetermined standards
-- Deviation from standard
sent to decision-maker
-If deviation from standard is
too large, signal sent to
Effector
Monitoring mechanism (e.g.
sensor)
This is a First-order cybernetic control
system. (Standards are fixed)
Example: Thermostat that keeps room
temperature to 70F all year round.
46. Cybernetic control mechanisms
Process
Comparator
Standards
Effector
and
Decision-
maker
Outputs
Inputs Mechanism:
- Same as described for First-
order Cybernetic systems, but:
- Standards are not fixed, but
the manner they change is
fixed.
Monitoring mechanism (e.g.
sensor)
This is a Second-order cybernetic control system (standards vary according to a fixed set of rules)
Examples: Thermostat that keeps room temperature to 70F in winter and 65F in summer,
Robot installations, Automated inventory systems, Automated record keeping systems
Memory Pre-programmed Responses
47. Cybernetic control mechanisms
Process
Comparator
Standards
Effector
and
Decision-
maker
Outputs
Inputs Mechanism:
- Same as described for First-
order Cybernetic systems, but:
- Standards are not fixed but
are variable. Also, the manner
they change is variable because
there is a consciousness
(human element) involved.
Monitoring mechanism (e.g.
sensor)
This is a Third-order cybernetic control system (standards vary according to a variable set of
rules)
Examples: Most Project management systems.
Consciousness Memory, Selection
48. Cybernetic control in Project Management
1. PM must clearly define “outputs” in terms of relevant
project characteristics
2. PM must establish standards for each characteristic
3. Monitoring mechanisms (sensors) must be established to
measure the characteristics at regular intervals
4. For each characteristic, the trigger point or maximum
deviation (difference between “attained level” and
“standard level”) should be established.
5. If triggered, appropriate action should be taken to
minimize the deviation between Attained Level and
Standard Level of performance.
49. “Go/No-go” Mechanisms of Project Control
Testing to see if some specific precondition has been
achieved
Yes/No (discrete)
Control in most PM fall into this category (Cooper,
1994; Meredith and Mantel, 2006)
Example: Was Activity X completed within 6 months?
Did Activity Y cost exceed its budget of $1.5 million?
Some engineering judgment is necessary in exercising
these types of controls.
50. Post-Control Types of Project Control
Also called: Post-performance control, Post-performance
review
Is done after the activity or project is over
Like a post-mortem or report card
Is it “Locking the barn door after the horse has
escaped”?
Or is it “We need to learn from the past to avoid future
mistakes”?
Generates lessons from current projects so that future
projects can be controlled better.
51. Desired characteristics of a project control mechanism
Flexible – PC should be able to react to changes in system
performance
Cost-effective – Value of PC should exceed cost of PC
Useful – Must really satisfy the needs of project, not the
whims of the PM
Timely – Be able to react quickly before the problem
overwhelms the project
Simple –Easy to understand and operate
Adjustable – Capable of being adjusted to reflect changing
priorities
Documented – so that training is possible
52. Some Interesting Issues in Project Control
Flexibility
Trade-offs
Some things to watch out for
Impediments to Project acceleration
Cost-only and time-only actions to control
projects
53. Value of Flexibility in Project Planning
Flexibility is primary defense against risk
Planning too tightly may highly complicate control
Flexibility in construction is key during control
Want adequate float and contingency to change plans if
needed
Be careful on value engineering that limits flexibility!
Some Interesting Issues in Project Control
54. Trade-offs between Performance Measures during
Project Control
Can sometimes only correct for one
performance measure at a time
– Time
– Cost
– Quality
Need to understand tradeoffs and triage
– Pick where to make tradeoffs (e.g. non-critical
activities)
Some Interesting Issues in Project Control
55. Tradeoffs
Time Quality
$
Acceleration $
(Overtime, shift work,
Rework, higher-end
equipment, better crews etc.)
Less $ Low progress
Resource reduction
Selection of poor quality workers
Default of contractor/subs
Quality problems result from
overtime, shift work, new hires
Quality level impacts speed of work,
Level of rework
Need for rework imposes
high expenses
High quality needs can lead
to costly miscalculations
on labor time
Trying to save $
Can lead to substitution,
lower quality
workmanship
Slow progress $
Delayed occupation,
Higher interest on
const. loan
Loss of tenants
Opportunity cost
Some Interesting Issues in Project Control
56. Trade-offs: The Time-Quality-Money Triage
In many cases, the best we can do is to pick
the areas where tradeoffs do the least harm
e.g.
– Move resources from non-critical activities
– Accelerate only critical activities
– Sacrifice quality on non-critical items that can
be remedied after substantial completion
Some Interesting Issues in Project Control
57. Some things to watch out for:
Overreacting/Improvisation, etc.)
When trying to correct, often bump up against other limiting
factors
– Space constraints/Hiring time/Morale/Coordination
difficulties
Improvisation dangerous (working w/o planning)
– Often can lead to “Snowballing” (increased problems at a
rapidly accelerating rate)
– Confusion, discoordination, cascading unanticipated
effects, suboptimal work efficiency, lack of morale
– Breaking “Job rhythm” and learning curves can really
inhibit productivity!
Some Interesting Issues in Project Control
58. Controlling the Time Schedule – Project Crashing
– Adding new project resources
– Changing the “production function” (Change the
technology)
– Change operation conditions by altering the
precedence, sequence, or timing of work
Fast-track, activity overlapping
Overtime
Shift work
– Changes in the tools, methods, operating conditions
– Work in more sheltered location
Some Interesting Issues in Project Control
59. Impediments to Project Acceleration
Human resources
– Multiple-shift work
Environmental/safety issues, High cost, Neighborhood objections
– Overtime/extended workdays
Fatigue, Lower morale, Rework
– Increasing # of workers
Training (takes time of most experienced!), Space constraints, Hiring time
Technology
– Using more, larger or more efficient equipment
Training/learning curve, Procurement time, Space constraints
– Using faster-installing materials
Procurement, Submittals for owner approval
– Alternate construction methods
Skill set, Learning curve, Unknown side-effects
