1. Manufacturing of new steel design.
2. Innovative and attractive product.
3. Link to existing and future renovation of colony.
4. Improved safety.
5. Utility relocation.
6. Decommissioning of existing design.
7. Improve the standard of society.
Scope Exclusion:
The following are excluded from the project scope of work- servicing or enhancement of
adjacent properties, design fabrication for future construction, servicing of old design etc.

Project Objectives
a. The project aims to develop the new and innovative design for the
residents.
b. The project also aims to improve the living standard of society and
provide the safety for the residents.

PROJECT APPROACH

PHASE I
The schedule for this phase consider the time required for detailed design, steel
manufacturing and fabrication equipment and machinery allocation, machine
operators, designer, raw material purchasing and testing, labour allocation, budget
allocation for every activity, risk analysis and deadline set up for project completion.
PHASE II
Production process of steel design started according to client expectation and as per the
standard.
PHASE III
The testing of product and design as per safety standard. Aging testing of developed
design.
PHASE IV
Necessary changes in design. Final assembling of design, cutting and welding.
PHASE V
Products and designs fabrication at minor level. Painting of products and designs. Delivery
of product.
Project Resources
There is a minimal impact on the financial aspect on this project as this is more of a stream
lining of the processes and procedures.
The different departments involved will just have to adjust to the new workflow in order for
this project to be a success.
Commitment among the three departments, namely, manufacturing department,
fabrication and operation and design is the most important resource in the successful
implementation of this project.

The project will be using Microsoft Office Project 2007 for which the company already has acquired
licenses prior to this project in preparation for use on different projects implemented and to be
implemented by the company.
Each department involved in the project will have an officer in charge that is able to access their MS
Office Project 2007 to view and update the progress on their assigned tasks.
The use of the existing email system will be a commonly used way of communication to update, get
updates, and do follow ups in the deliverables of each department involved.
A weekly meeting is to be held by the project team, which composed of Area managers, managers
assigned to work on the. An emergency meeting is to be held when necessary.

Cost Budgeting
The overall cost of designing and manufacturing is estimated Rs. 50lacs and assuming no change in to
current economic conditions and specifically steel prices and availability of qualified labour. This a
cost estimated as provided in October 2010 and includes acontingency of 15%.

Cost breakdown:
Cost of raw materials: 25lacs
Manpower Cost: 4lacs
Consulting Cost: 1lacs
Operating cost: 5lacs
Fixed cost: 3 lacs
Inventory cost: 3 lacs
Other cost: 2lacs

Profit :
Revenue –all cost andExpenses
50lacs- 43lacs = 7lacs
