Scope Inclusion
What Business or technical need will be filled by this project?
To address our critical business need for expanding manufacturing capabilities to
accommodate growing market demand. Expand manufacturing capabilities at least by
30% to meet the growing demand for our product. This will allow the company to attract
new market opportunities.
To increase current production facility in order to explore new opportunities.
To increase operational efficiency by 12% through improved workflows and the
implementation of advanced equipment and assembly lines. This will reduce production
costs and improve product quality.
To enhance production output and operational efficiency
What end-user’s requirement will be addresses?
The design will prioritize safety, adhering to all relevant regulations and incorporating
comprehensive safety training for employees.
The facility will support increase production through advanced equipment and assembly
lines.
The layout will optimize production processes, minimizing material handling and
maximizing worker productivity. Safety will be paramount, adhering to all relevant
building codes and safety regulations. The facility will incorporate comprehensive safety
training programs for all employees.
The layout will optimize workflow, minimizing material and personnel movement.
The facility will incorporate Eco-friendly construction practices and energy-efficient
features.
Employee amenities will be integrated, providing comfortable and accessible
workspaces and accessible facilities. The design will prioritize energy efficiency. This
could include features like natural lighting, LED fixtures, and potentially solar panels to
reduce the environmental impact and operational costs.
Employee well-being will be considered by including break rooms, locker facilities, and
accessible restrooms that meet disability standards.
What deliverable will be produced?
Site preparation activities including land clearing, soil testing, and foundation
construction. Completion of all site preparation activities ensuring a solid base for the
new facility.
Construction of a new manufacturing facility with a total floor area as specified on the
drawings. The facility will include structural elements, electrical wiring, HVAC systems
for temperature control, and a plumbing system for water supply and sanitation.
Design and implementation of an optimized interior layout that accommodates
production lines, storage areas, employee workspaces, and adheres to all safety
regulations..
Optimized interior layout to accommodate production requirements and employee
areas, adhering to safety standards.
Implementation of energy-efficient building systems (potentially including solar panels).
Completion of exterior landscaping.
Scope Exclusion
What Business or technical need will be filled by this project?
Implementation of a new supply chain management system for material tracking. This
will be a separate project undertaken by the IT department.
Development of a comprehensive training program for operating the new production
equipment. While the project team will provide basic familiarization training, in-depth
operational training will be handled by the manufacturing department.
Construction of a new transportation infrastructure for material distribution. This might
be a future project depending on logistics needs.
What end-user’s requirement will be addresses?
Construction of a cafeteria facility. This may be considered in a future phase depending
on budget and employee needs.
Integration of advanced technologies beyond the scope of production equipment, such
as robotics or automation.
