Project: ALC Panel Factory

You project team is assigned to prepare a detail plan for designing and building an Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete Panel (ALC Panel) production factory in Queensland, Australia. Before you begin the detailed design process you decide to undertake a preliminary design of the factory and manufacturing process as well as estimate the cost and time required to design and build the facility. Also, you would like to estimate the demand for the product and the envisaged production rates of the ALC manufacturing facility to determine whether the project is feasible (i.e. consider a Return of Capital ratio).

What should the assignment include?

- Complete a basic preliminary design of the factory (size, layout, resources requirements etc.)
- Complete a preliminary design of the manufacturing process for ALC panels (i.e. schematics of the process and required machinery).
- Layout of the manufacturing process within the factory (see example attached).
- An itemised list of the tasks required for constructing the building and its internal manufacturing processes.
- A work breakdown structure (WBS) for the proposed project.
- A detailed estimate of the resources required for each activity (Labour, machinery, materials, supervision etc.). Allocate costs to each activity in the WBS.
- A Gantt chart for the proposed project using Microsoft Project or Primavera.
- A PDM diagram for the project (utilise both manual techniques and Microsoft Project software).
- A time analysis for the project including Critical Path, ES, LS, etc. Comment on these results.
- A resource analysis for the project and resource histograms. Consider areas where resources may be critical and comment on an approach to levelling the resources.
- A detailed description on strategies to make the best use of resources.
- A cost estimate for the project including all relevant costs (site establishment, materials, labour, overheads, machinery etc.)
- Detail strategies to crash the network. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of this strategy?
- A cash flow analysis for the project and a cash flow diagram.
- A report on the profitability of the proposed project. Based on the total cost of the project, estimated demand for the product and the envisaged production rates of the ALC manufacturing facility, determine whether the project is feasible (i.e. consider a Return of Capital ratio).
- A risk management plan for program delays, resource availability etc.

Civil and structural elements should be considered for the planning and estimation for the ALC Panel production facility, but detailed costing and scheduling is not required. However, you should be able to detail the basic elements of the structure such as footings, slab, frame, girts, purlins, sheeting etc. and their order of construction. See the ‘Project 1 overview' file for brief information about the proposed project.
