Introduction TCG Airlines has a total of 1,000 employees (administrative staff , technical staff and pilots). It is a company of internal flights in Greece covering exclusively all the Greek islands. Given that customers of TCG Airlines are Greeks and foreigners, TCG Airlines tries to cover the needs of the customers using different aircraft type. Thus, the portfolio of the aircrafts available to TCG Airlines is huge – 35 in total: small four-seat aircraft, helicopters, Jets, Boeing and Airbus. Each of these 35 different planes are of different manufacturers and of different technology. TCG Airlines covers the maintenance for most of the airplanes on her own, while some are given to the aircraft manufacturer. Regarding the training, TCG Airlines …show more content…
If this happens we will negotiate Remedy: Continuous progress monitoring of the project Project phases The phases of the project are following (Weiss, 2002). Phase 0: Concept Exploration and Definition. This phase deals with the initial idea and the reasons for the decision on the selection of a single vendor aircraft for the airline TCG Airlines and the definition of the project scope. Phase 1: Requirements Analysis and Market Analysis. This phase refers to the analysis of the company's claims regarding the appropriate type of aircraft and the analysis of the suppliers for choosing the most appropriate. Phase 2: Engineering and Manufacturing Development. Definition of the requirements and the technical standards for the purchase of the new aircrafts. Phase 3: Control and Deployment. This phase refers to the technical inspection of the new aircrafts and the proper installation. Phase 4: Training, Operation and Support. This phase refers to the training of the administrative stuff, the pilots and the technicians so as the aircrafts to operate
Which of the following is not one of the design process phases given in the textbook?
II. Planning Stage - PM meets with VP of Tech to go over spec. The two collaborate to create a Project Plan including a Gant Chart or equivalent to determine team member deadlines (individual initiatives) four launch.
The second stage is market/commodity this needs to be taken place after the buyer has got the buyer needs to a high specification to ensure that at this stage the right product is chosen. At this stage the procurement department need to research all options available within the market. By getting an estimate of what is on the current market, it enables the buyer to pick out potential suppliers also familiarising the buyer with the competition in the market. This is also the stage where the procurement department would be able to look into conducting an analysis on how they are going to achieve the product i.e. make or purchase it/ utilize the service. By conducting market research it gives stakeholders a clear picture of the market.
Canceling this project is a restructuring theme that will have the goal of improving overall-profit margin through a narrower focus on the company’s core military project business. Our competitors are already well established in the civilian aircraft market. We are not ignorant of the significant financial, emotional and reputational investment
BIDDEFORD - Police investigate what might have caused the death of their colleague and now former policeman, Patrick Maloney. Officers who responded found him dead inside of his house on Friday, December 4th, but the cause of this 44 year old man's death has not yet been released.
Development program are successful project at the core of Boeing’s 767. Indeed, without an efficient, method for planning, scheduling and controlling the thousands of activities required to assemble an aircraft as large and complex as the 767, it would have been virtually impossible for this program ever to take off the ground. According to one of Boeing’s web site of project management , the part giant utilized a containing of variety a sort of tools and methods to proctor and control project performance. Boeing’s 767 were developed at the start of the project to define how the project would be managed. The plan defined the developed activities required to
Boeing adopts a very thorough, well planned out process to manage the project. The stages are defined clearly and tasks involved in each stage are carried out sequentially. The first stage of their approach is the project definition phase during which Boeing identified holes in the market not met by existing planes, assessed future airline needs, considered alternative plane configurations, explored feasibility of possible technologies and performed preliminary estimation of costs. During the market assessment, analysts gathered information regarding future needs of airlines by speaking directly to
This is a case about three different companies dedicated to the manufacturing of aircrafts. Those three major companies are: Boeing, Airbus Industry and McDonnell Douglas; each of one was struggling to produce enough aircraft to satisfy a seemingly unquenchable need for passenger and freight transport around the world, developed in this form many kinds of aircrafts in different models and styles.
This paper of Philip Condit and the Development of the 777; describes the management, and technological changes that Philip Condit made to the development style of the Boeing Company. Before Philip Condit took over the 777 program, Boeing had been making airplanes in the same fashion as it had been doing for 70 years prior. Mr. Condit saw the chance to bring Boeing into the 21st century not only with the new technology of computer aided drafting, but with modern management techniques as well. The 777 program proved to be the perfect testing ground for a companywide change in the way Boeing did its business.
6.2 The Boeing model adopted was to spread the design and development to suppliers on a global scale with costs met by suppliers (Ostrower & Lublin, 2013). A strategy such as this should have been tightly controlled from the outset. Without this control, difficulties in assembly and ill-fitting parts requiring redesign added to the delays experienced by the project (Denning, 2013), with hundreds of Boeing engineers sent to various companies to solve technical problems (Tang & Zimmerman, 2009).
Boeing’s management plan shows determination to improve through creation of new more members of their airplane family (commercial airplanes). This would also be achieved through integration of military platforms, systems for defense and the war fighter by use of network-centric activities. Boeing plan is also inclusive of creation of improved technology to solve problems across all business units. Boeing plans to e-enable airplanes where automation is the key to this development. Finally, Boeing is determined to arrange for financing solutions to its customers. Through this it will be able to attract more potential customers. Moreover, it can also be able to establish a better relationship with its customers through provision of incentives and sales promotion.
In the define phase proposals are formulated, estimated and tested for feasibility. The results will be presented to the senior management in order to receive a "go" for the project which often is in the form of a contract.
As the new president of the airline, Stephen’s first concern is to create a financially solid company since it is a common presumption for airline industries that maintenance costs rise with the age of aircrafts.
This is the phase where the requirements are noted, feedback regarding requirements are obtained from users
Phase 2 – Develop, test and implement the plan. Here, attention to detail and active participation by all stakeholders ensure the development of a plan worth implementing. The plan itself must include the recovery strategy with all of its detailed components and the test plan.
