Project Proposal
Project Name: Brewery Capacity Upgrade
Date:11/7/21
Introduction/ Background
The brewing industry is a booming business that has existed for centuries, from monks
brewing beer and supplementing their fasting rituals, to the modern-day homebrewer, making
small batches to share with friends. The opportunity to strike out and make a living off of this
industry is a definite possibility, with some major room for profit.
Business Objective
To expand operations and make a 30-barrel brewing system, that will allow higher capacity in
order to increase revenue, without having an effect on operations that are ongoing in the
smaller production line. This production can produce a separate revenue of income that will
return costs within expenses within one year
Current Situation and Problem/Opportunity Statement
Currently the small brewery is operating and making profit, but there is a limit on the amount
of production that is possible. The opportunity here is to increase the production value of the
facility without stopping production that already exists. The ability to make the money will
only depend on being able to sell to the distributors, and no longer have constraints on the
amount that can be produced.
Analysis of Options and Recommendation
The options for further production:
1.
Increase work hours on the production line.
2.
Plateau the earnings that can be made.
3.
Increase production capabilities.
Based on the options, the only way to expand and keep happy workers is to expand operations
to allow for more production without straining the staff.
Financial Analysis
4
This ROI shows there is a considerable margin for profit with investing in larger setup for
producing beer. The risk is that this is assuming that the beer sells in time before needing to
waste any bad product, as well as there is no margin for wasted product due to production
error.
2. Project Charter
Project Title
: Small Brewery Capacity Upgrade
Project Start Date:
Jan 2022
Projected Finish Date:
Jan 2023
Budget Information:
The company has made a lot of money and will attempt to finance
this with all reinvestments from the company. This will limit any interference from
stakeholders that are external to the company.
Project Manager:
Tyler Dugan
Project Objectives:
Increase the capacity of the brewery to output more product on a
separate production system. This upgrade will increase the potential output of the product
by 1000% and increase revenue by the same margin.
5
Critical Assumptions and Constraints:
Assumption for the project is that there will be
availability of the equipment and the labor needed to install, and test the system. Another
assumption is that there is available space in the brewery that already exists. Constraint
will be on the ability of the labor personnel to be able to complete the tasks
Preliminary Project Requirements:
Budget approval. Floor space dedicated for project.
Engineering plans for layout. Procedure for testing and implementation of equipment.
Maintenance procedures and periodicities for all equipment.
Success Criteria:
On time completion of project
Product output increase by 1000%
Approach:
Find and negotiate pricing for system that will meet space requirements.
Ship system to site location
Hire install team to complete installation
Test and complete install with successful output of product

3. Project Cost Estimate
It is difficult to know what techniques to use in order to project a cost estimate that will
hold any merit, especially for a business proposal. It is important to get as much information as
possible and give a good estimate so that investors can feel confident about the money they are
putting forward.
Three-Point Estimating
This technique is more or less the Goldilocks method, in which there are three estimates
that are projected (Stobierski, 2021). There is an optimistic, best-case scenario, a pessimistic,
worst-case scenario, estimates that are made, plus another that is hopefully, just right (Stobierski,
2021).
Reserve Analysis
This is a technique that assumes that there will be things that will be unforeseen. It takes
into account that there are accepted risks, and that there needs to be an allotment set aside for
these occasions (Top 10 tools and techniques to estimate project cost, n.d.). This reserve is not a
part of the baseline estimate but is included in the overall budget, and will require permissions in
order to use (10 techniques for Project Cost Estimation: Pros and cons, 2021).
Cost of Quality
This is split into two categories of quality, one of conformance and one of non-
conformance (Top 10 tools and techniques to estimate project cost, n.d.). The cost of
conformance is money that is allotted to prevent mishaps and appraisals (Top 10 tools and
techniques to estimate project cost, n.d.). The cost of non-conformance is to make up for any
failures, whether they are internal or external (Borad, 2021).
Vendor Analysis
This technique is essentially shopping around for the best deal. The project can be put out
to get bids from vendors, in order to get a good idea of the overall cost of the project (Rinaldi,
2017).
Group Decision Making Techniques
This involves the technical experts that will be performing the work (Top 10 tools and
techniques to estimate project cost, n.d.). This will get a good idea of the overall cost while also
getting the workers to have more of an investment in the project (Top 10 tools and techniques to
estimate project cost, n.d.).
These techniques can all be used together to get the best idea of how much a project will
cost. This is important to not oversell or undersell and in an ideal world the estimate would be
exact.

Analyse several voltage and current situations in different loading scenarios in a simplified radial (transformer to consumption) medium-voltage power system example. There are only 2 nodes in the 35 kV line – node 0 from the 110/35 kV and node 1 with one consumer. The physical characteristics of the line and the loading scenarios are individualized for each student – please see the attached file Excel “WM9P3 Task1 data” for your particular data set.
Briefly reflect on the complexity of the calculations for known input or output voltage, as well as for fixed or voltage-dependent consumption in this simple power system model.
Analyse and discuss the sensitivity of the voltage drop [in % of amplitude and the degrees of phase] with respect to the current level [in %] and to the power factor.
