Once upon a time….
• There was a bottling plant• There was a lot of spillage because of
improper positioning of bottles• The production manager proposes a new
computer-controlled conveyor belt to position items on the conveyor belt within <1mm. .
What will the new system do?
• The proposed project will produce a new system for future installations and for replacement of those in the field at a low cost
• The computer controlled conveyor belt has the potential to be a critical unit in 30% of the systems installed in factories.
Project Charter
• Statement of work: To set-up a conveyor belt to improve precision
• Project Sponsor: Plant manager• Project Manager: Senior Manager-Engineering– Responsible for resource allocation– Monitoring of project
• Project Scope:– Purpose: to reduce cost of wastage, Right First Time– Need: FMEA and SPC tools have shown that reducing
wastage of Spills will—Project will also be a foundation on which new improvements can be implemented.
Project Charter
• Benefits:– Process control, RFT (Right First Time) and hence
wastage reduction
• Requirements/Constraints:– Resource Requirements for finishing it within 530 Days
• Project Deliverables:– The system should be in running condition– Finish it within 530 Days– Within Budget
Stakeholders
• Engineering Department:– Resources:• Design• Development• Assembly• Documentation• Purchasing
• Production Department:– Their work may be put on hold because of
installation of the conveyor belt.

MONITORING AND CONTROLLING
• Management By Exception– Management devotes its time to investigating
only those situations in which actual results differ significantly from planned results.
– Buffer Management as a method of Management By exception
What is the necessity of measurements?
• Decision making: To FOCUS!• How do I decide Priorities, when resource contentions
are there• To concentrate where expediting is necessary
MEASUREMENTS
1. % of the critical chain completed– What does it measure: How is the project
progressing?2. % of completion buffer consumed relative to %
of the critical chain complete– What does it measure: Is Progress Satisfactory?
3. The rate of consumption of completion buffer– What does it measure: • Determines whether the project is under control or not• To verify in early stages if our corrective actions bring us on
track
Measurement-1
• % of the critical chain completed– Gives incentive to fix problem rather than shifting
resources and attention to other tasks in order to report short term progress on projects
Measurement-2
• % of completion buffer consumed relative to % of the critical chain complete– Let’s say the critical chain has finished 50% and
the completion buffer has been depleted by 20% do we need to be worried??
– Let’s say the critical chain is completed by 50% and the completion buffer has been depleted by 80%, do we need to be worried??
Measurement-3
• The rate of consumption of completion buffer (say 1/3rd of the lead time of project)– If in a given time interval the rate of consumption is
greater than 1/3rd of the interval time • Another 10 days have passed 5 additional days of
completion buffer have got depleted
– If in a given time interval the rate of consumption is less than 1/3rd of the interval time• Another 10 days have passed
COMMUNICATION PLAN
• Hence, what should be communicated?– Resources should frequently report their estimation of
when the task they are working on will be completed.– How much has each activity eaten into the buffer:
BUFFER REPORT
• When should it be reported?– Frequently, every two days.
• Discussions will be based on the buffer report• Resource allocation can be done more efficiently
