A successful project management includes key elements like capital cost, time, and value. It also involves important processes such as project initiation, planning, execution, control and validation, and closeout and evaluation. There are different forms of project organization including line and staff, divisional, and matrix structures. Project management requires disciplined definition, planning, communication, and control to ensure projects deliver as intended.
Projects and project management processes vary from industry to industry; however, these are more traditional elements of a project. The overarching goal is typically to offer a product, change a process or to solve a problem in order to benefit the organization.

Introduction
Have you ever been part of a project team that did not know where it was—or where it was
going? While most projects go through predictable phases toward completion, sometimes
team members get so involved in their own detailed tasks that they lose sight of the whole
process. When this happens, projects can suffer because of a lack of urgency. It seems that
there is no “flow” of work toward an end point, just a lot of individual tasks getting done.
To avoid this situation, someone must be able to see the big picture to ensure that tasks
are completed according to schedule and that the project constantly moves toward its final

deliverables. This process of shepherding the project along as an integrated effort is called
governance. We will address this function in this chapter, along with the various phases in
a typical project.
Now that you have an introductory view of the field of project management, we will focus
on the project management process and its five major phases. This chapter is an overview of
these broad, sequential phases of project management, each of which adds value and content
to the project as it moves from initi.

Automatic power factor_improvement_and_monitoring_by_using_plc[1]ferozpatowary
Power factor correction (PFC) is a process of negotiating the unwanted effects of electric loads that create a power factor less than one. Power factor correction may be applied either by an electrical power transmission utility to enhance the efficiency of transmission network. In this paper three transformers of different ratings have been used which acts as inductive load each of which produce different power factor variation. The power factor of the supply line is directly monitored by the Power Meter which is connected in parallel to the supply line. The value of the capacitance (capacitor bank) required for correcting the power factor variation due to each transformer and their combination is found out separately. Capacitor bank for the respective load is triggered by using PLC.
Automated Cafeteria System for Efficient Food Servingferozpatowary
The restaurant is now gaining more importance in terms of automation. The usual procedure used for food ordering in restaurants is a manual process. It involves the waiters noting down the menu from customers, transferring the orders to the kitchen, serving the menu and finally preparing bills. This process even though looks simple, is prone to human errors while note making and delays involved. So the customers end-up with unsatisfactory service. Considering this fact and with an aim to improve efficiency and reduce errors in conventional food ordering system, new technology is introduced to automate the process. The ordering process is made simple through which the customer can order the food item from the table itself. It consists of Mobile App and LCD display to order the food item and to display the ordered food item to the customer respectively. The ordered food item will be transferred to the kitchen using the Bluetooth Module. The serving process consists of food serving conveyer belt which is used to serve the foods to the customer depending upon their order. The conveyer belt uses arduino microcontroller for programming. The cost of the ordered food item will get added up and the total bill amount will be shown to the customer and it will be sent to the billing counter. Website will also be created for the restaurant.
Automatic Power Factor Improvement by Using PLC & SCADAferozpatowary
Power factor correction (PFC) is a process of negotiating the unwanted effects of electric loads that
create a power factor less than one. Power factor correction may be applied either by an electrical power transmission utility to enhance the efficiency of transmission network. In this paper three transformers of different ratings have been used which acts as inductive load each of which produce different power factor variation. The power factor of the supply line is directly monitored by the Power Meter which is connected in parallel to the supply line. The value of the capacitance (capacitor bank) required for correcting the power factor variation due to each transformer and their
combination is found out separately. Capacitor bank for the respective load is triggered by using PLC, which connects the capacitor bank parallel to the load and thereby bringing the power factor near to unity. This paper represents the most effective automatic power factor improvement and monitoring by using static capacitors which will be controlled by a PLC with very low cost although many existing systems are present which are expensive and difficult to manufacture. In this study, many small rating capacitors are connected in parallel and a reference power factor is set as standard value into the PLC. Suitable number of static capacitors is automatically connected according to the instruction of the PLC to improve the power factor close to unity. Some tricks such as using resistors instead of potential transformer and using one of the most low cost PLC SIEMENS S7-200 CPU215 DC/DC/DC which also reduce programming complexity that make it most economical system than any other controlling system.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Presentation of project management (905, scm. rajib ahashan rashel)
1. Topic: A successful project management
includes few elements, process and forms: an
analysis
Course Name: Project Management
Presented by:

Roll No: 905, EMBA,
Batch: 37th
Faculty of Business Administration
University of Science and Technology Chittagong
2. Introduction:
The professional management of projects requires a disciplined approach to
defining, planning, strategizing, communicating, and controlling a project. It is
assuring that the project will deliver. What do the world’s tallest building, the trip
to the moon, a film that breaks box office records and a wedding are in
common? For organization projects are a set of activities that produce a specific
result with in a defined time bound.
3. Key elements of project management are as
follows:
Capital cost: Cost of capital is the required return necessary to make a capital
budgeting project, such as building a new factory, worthwhile. The cost of capital
depends on the mode of financing used. It refers to the cost of equity if the
business is financed solely through equity, or to the cost of debt if it is financed
solely through debt.
Time: When you have a detailed list of all the tasks that you must achieve to
complete the project then you can begin to estimate how long each will take.
You can lose a great deal of credibility, and money, by underestimating the length
of time needed to implement a project. If you underestimate time, not only do
you miss deadlines, you can also put other people under unnecessary stress.
Value: One of the greatest challenges Project Management usually face is to sell
the value of project management to other stake holder. It is difficult to prove the
tangle benefits of project management especially in dollars and cents.
4. Elements of project management (General)
Objective: Project objectives are goals, plain and simple. These are the business objectives that you want
the project to accomplish.
Complexity: Complexity helps understand the social behaviours of teams and networks of people
involved in and around a project. The ideas apply equally to small in-house projects as to large
complicated projects. In this regard, ‘complexity’ is not a synonym for ‘complicated’ or ‘large’.
Uniqueness: Project Uniqueness is a characteristic of a particular project that has special or unequalled
parameters that determine the project’s originality and authenticity. It describes an absolute state of the
project as compared to other projects.
Uncertainty: Uncertainties have a defined range of possible outcomes described by functions reflecting
the probability for each outcome. Uncertainties functions can describe discrete events or continuous
ranges of outcomes. The schedule for a project contains uncertainty because the estimated effort or
duration of each task has some uncertainty associated with it.
Temporary nature: The temporary nature of projects, combined with the very real limitations on power
and discretion most project managers face, constitutes the core challenge of managing projects
effectively.
For example, within a functional department it is common to find people with more homogeneous
backgrounds. This means that the finance department is staffed with finance people, the marketing
department is made up of marketers, and so on.
Life cycle: The project life cycle is a 4-step framework designed to help project managers guide their
projects successfully from start to finish. The purpose of the project life cycle is to create an easy to
follow framework to guide projects.
5. Process of project management
The five main project management processes in detail as follows:
Project Initiation: Project initiation is the starting point of any project. In this process, all the activities related to
winning a project takes place. Usually, the main ac, there are multiple deliveries to be made during the project
execution. Usually, the main activity of this phase is the pre-sale. project deliveries are not onetime deliveries
made at the end of the project. Instead, the deliveries are scattered throughout the project execution period and
delivered upon agreed timelines.
Project Planning: Project planning is one of the main project management processes. If the project management
team gets this step wrong, there could be heavy negative consequences during the next phases of the project.
The project plan is derived in order to address the project requirements such as, requirements scope, budget
and timelines. Once the project plan is derived, then the project schedule is developed.
Project Execution: To execution the project each member of the team carries out their own assignments within
the given deadline for each activity. The detailed project schedule will be used for tracking the project progress.
There are multiple deliveries to be made during the project execution. Usually, project deliveries are not onetime
deliveries made at the end of the project. Instead, the deliveries are scattered throughout the project execution
period and delivered upon agreed timelines.
Control and Validation: During the project life cycle, the project activities should be thoroughly controlled and
validated. The controlling can be mainly done by adhering to the initial protocols such as project plan, quality
assurance test plan and communication plan for the project. Validation is a supporting activity that runs from first
day to the last day of a project.
Closeout and Evaluation: Once all the project requirements are achieved, it is time to hand over the
implemented system and closeout the project. If the project deliveries are in par with the acceptance criteria
defined by the client, the project will be duly accepted and paid by the customer.
6. Forms of Project Organization:
Line and staff organization: Line and staff organization is a modification of line
organization and it is more complex than line organization. According to this
administrative organization, specialized and supportive activities are attached to
the line of command by appointing staff supervisors and staff specialists who are
attached to the line authority
Divisional organization: The divisional structure is especially useful when a
company has many regions, markets, and/or products. However, it can cause
higher total costs, and can result in a number of small, quarreling fiefdoms within
a company that do not necessarily work together for the good of the entire
entity.
Matrix organization: In a matrix there are usually two chains of command, one
along functional lines and the other along project, product, or client lines. Other
chains of command such as geographic location are also possible.
