The Printed Circuit Board Assembly Line Move project was approved to outsource non-core competencies from PBNI's Syracuse facility to Santa Maria in Guadalajara, Mexico. The project involves producing a 6-month inventory bank at the Syracuse facility by June 2017, relocating the assembly line to Mexico by October 2017, and training Santa Maria personnel. The total budget is $2.2 million with expected savings of $9.23 million and a payback period of 17 months.

This project explains the Order-Delivery-Time (ODT) of IKEA-Breezemount warehouse and the factors that have influenced the performance of ODT process. The project focuses on finding current weaknesses and the possible problems that has hindered improvements in ODT. A new ODT process is proposed based on the findings from the current ODT process. ODT process
performance has a significant importance for IKEA-Breezemount warehouse because it determines the company’s ability to deliver certain number of goods in a given time. The quicker the ODT process, the quicker the company is capable of responding to customer’s needs.

Work breakdown structure WBS Columbia Southe.docxericbrooks84875
Work breakdown structure
WBS
Columbia Southern University
Tiffany Williams
The work breakdown structure is a key project deliverable that organizes the team's work into
manageable sections. Is a "deliverable oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed
by the project team." The work breakdown structure visually defines the scope into manageable chunks
that a project team can understand, as each level of the work breakdown structure provides further
definition and detail. (Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). (n.d.). Retrieved from
https://www.workbreakdownstructure.com)IN this case, I would use a three level work breakdown to
illustrate the processes in the construction project. In the paper am going to outline the work break
down structure for the construction project of a warehouse showing the various stages, participants, the
budget, as well as project timeline and constraints.
The depiction of the WBS will be using both charts and tables indicating codes for the various activities.
The idea process can be illustrated in the diagram below together with the OBS

Project Description The new computer-controlled convey.docxbriancrawford30935
Project Description
The new computer-controlled conveyor belt is an exciting project that moves and positions
items on the conveyor belt within 1 millimeter. The project will produce a new system for
future installations, and for replacement o f those in the field, at a low cost. The computer-
controlled conveyor belt has the potential to be a critical unit in 30 percent of the systems
installed in factories. The new system is also easier to update with future technologies. Table 1
has been developed for you to use in completing the project exercises.

Project Scope
1. Scope Statement
The project – Print Circuit Board Assembly Line Move has been approved by Phillipe
Broadband Networks, Syracuse, New York to outsource non-core competencies from the
Syracuse manufacturing facility to Guadalajara, Mexico. The purpose of this project is to
reduce costs and recoup market share. The scope of this project includes all aspects
including budgeting, planning, logistics, production of inventory bank, quality assurance
and training. The Syracuse facility will produce six months’ worth of finished circuit
boards. All necessary equipment will be relocated to the Santa Maria facility within seven
months of project start; and validated and tested prior to live production within four
weeks and project completion is estimated at approximately 10 months. Circuit boards
will be qualified and inspected by the QA department at least four weeks prior to
production. Supplier personnel will receive four weeks of training by Phillipe Broadband
Networks personnel.
2. Goals
• Complete 6-month Inventory bank by June 16, 2017.
• Relocate Printed Circuit Board Assembly Line to Mexico and complete transition
by October 27, 2017
• Reduce manufacturing costs, with total savings of $9.3mil.
• Ensure quality standards and training requirements are maintained by Santa
Maria facility.
3. Supplier Selection Summary
• Savings from Peterstar = $ 9,188,521.92
• Savings from Santa Maria = $11,427,908.83
• By the cost estimates above, it can be concluded that working with Santa Maria
will be a more cost effective solution for Phillipe Broadband Networks.
• The Capital tooling requirements are higher for Santa Maria, but the total costs
are still lower than Peterstar by $2.24 million, based just on the prices of the two
suppliers.

Network Diagram
The network diagram shows all parallel tasks, along with the Critical Path in the red. The critical path suggests that the project should take
approximately 44 weeks (10 months and 5 days) for completion.
12. 11
EVM Exercise
1. Budgeted at Completion (BAC) = $850,000
2. Planned Value (PV) = 6 months completion on 12 months given time = 6/12x100 = 50
= 50% x $850,000
= $425,000
3. Earned Value (EV) = Actual % complete x BAC
= 50% x $850,000
= $425,000
4. Actual Cost (AC) = Money Spent on Project = $623,000
5. Cost Variance (CV) = EV – AC
= $425,000 - $623,000
= -$198,000
6. Schedule Variance (SV) = EV – PV
= $425,000 - $425,000
= $0
7. Cost Performance Index (CPI)= EV / AC
= $425000 / $623000
= 0.682
8. Schedule Performance Index (SPI) = EV / PV
= $425,000 / $425,000
=1
9. Estimated at Completion (EAC) = BAC/ CPI
= $850,000 / 0.682
= $1,246,334.31
10. Estimated to Completion (ETC) = EAC – AC
= $1,246,334.311 - $623,000
= $ 623334.31
11. Variance at Completion (VAC) = BAC - EAC
= $850,000 - $1246334.31
= - $ 396334.31
12. To Complete Performance Index (TCPIc) = BAC – EV)/ Remaining Funds
= $ 850,000 - $425,000 / $227,000
= 1.872
13. The project is on time (As Schedule Variance is zero)
14. As TCPIc > 1, the project is over budgeted
