This document outlines a project plan to add air freight capacity to Schenker AG's portfolio. The objective is to meet market competition and provide rapid delivery by introducing cargo plane services. The plan includes work breakdown structures, a critical path, resource and cost estimates, risk management, communication, and change management plans. Key aspects include developing routes in North and South America, Australia, and the UK initially. Budget estimates total $257,376,000. The plan was constrained by licensing issues and lacked effective marketing. It focused more on market share than retention. Future recommendations include improved marketing, prioritizing route development, and a staged country expansion based on customer response.

There is need for concentrating on route strategy, we had anticipated to introduce 42 cargo air
planes, throughout north, west, south America, India and Asia. To gain customer and market
share. We are now concentrating on Australia and united kingdom, America with the right
balance of speed, reliability and trust.
10. Change
Management
Reason for the Requested Change
After analyzing Market from all view point, to get hold on market share that we had anticipated in the
initial stages of the project. We have decided to concentrate north, west, South America and Australia
and United Kingdom, because Australia and United Kingdom global shipment market in these
countries are booming according to International monetary Fund world economic by this we can
increase the retention rate from 24.8% to 48%- 49%. After 5 year down the line we are concentrating
on acquiring the market in India and Asia because these two countries are long terms success in
terms of wider market. So we think that before capturing these market we should have better stability
and capacity in terms of investment and resources

14. CLOSURE
REVIEW AND ANALYSIS
Project Closure and
Recommendation
• Route strategy was constrained to the certain limit in terms licensing.
• Overall productivity of the project team and co-ordination was good
• We gave more importance to customer needs
• Marketing strategy was not well implemented
• Route strategy has to be introduced in certain countries and than wait and see the response of
the customer rather than forecasting
• Gave more importance to acquiring market share but not retaining scope of the project
• In future we should concentrate on Marketing strategy
• Must give importance to route development in order to compete against the competitor
