CHAPTER 3B: PROJECT MANAGEMENT

CLO3 Apply the engineering design


process and the importance of
C3 PLO7
project management in
organizations.
Definition
 A project is a unique set of coordinated
activities, with definite starting and finishing
points undertaken by an individual or an
organization to meet specific objectives with
defined schedule, cost and performance
parameters.

 A project management is the discipline of


organizing and managing resources in such a
way that these resources deliver all the works
required to complete a project within defined
scope, time and cost constraints.
(British Standards Institution)

Characteristics of a Project
1. Has a specific goal.
2. Has a set of different activities to do.
3. Has a definite start and finish date.
4. Consumes resources.
5. Has uncertainty and risk.
6. Unique in some way.

Project Life Cycle
1. Defining stage – consists of the inception and
feasibility stages.
2. Planning stage – planning is carried out with
regard to the project scheduling, budget and
quality level desired.
3. Execution stage – the production of physical
product.
4. Delivering stage – completion and handing over of
the project to the owner. This may also include
repair and maintenance activities. The project
cycle is concluded by a demolition or
decommissioning activity.

Project Management Objectives

To complete a project on time.


To complete the project within budget.
To complete the project with the desired
quality.

6
Importance of Planning &
Scheduling
To increase project efficiency and performance.
To identify, assess and reduce risks.
To define the sequence of activities to ensure optimum use
of resources.
To provide a framework for decision making in the event of
change.
To assess project cost and whether the project is within
budget.
To know how long the project will take.
To disseminate information to people.

Types of Cost in a Project

1. Direct labour cost – cost associated with the wages to


perform a specific work
2. Direct non-labour cost – cost associated with the
material, equipment, transport, sub-contractor, etc.
meant for the specific work
3. Indirect costs – those that cannot be attributed to a
single task of work, such as office rental, utility bills, etc.

8
Techniques for Cost Estimating
1. Expert opinion
2. Analogy estimate
Proposed cost
= Analogous cost x [Proposed capacity / Analogous capacity)]0.7
3. Parametric estimate
Proposed cost = Parameter x “Cost per unit parameter” rate
4. Cost indexing

C2 = C1 x Index1 / Index2
5. Analytical estimating

Cost of project = Σ cost of all elements


9
Step by step Procedures in Scheduling
1. Establish the project objectives that are to
be achieved
2. Determine work activities and sequencing
3. Determine the activity durations
4. Determine the logical relationships
5. Identify the critical path
6. Implement the schedule
