The aim of the report is to analyze the performance of the project to see how it is progressing in term of
scope, schedule, and cost relative to the plan. This report covers the period starting from 16-2-2014
(Sunday) and it 2-6-1015 (Tuesday). This project performance report will highlight the current status of
the scope including the accomplishments that were achieved so far, the work that is in progress and the
work that is not started yet. It will also highlight the issues that are currently occurring and will suggest
mitigation action that could eliminate and reduce their impacts. Furthermore it will predict the possible
future risks and will state how they can be avoided. It will also contain a list of changes that need to be
done to the project and will show a flow chart for the change in request plan.

Project Status Summary:
Table 1: completed scope, schedule, and cost for the entire project
Scope Schedule Cost 48.73% 42.85 % 54.66%
Table 2: completed scope, schedule, and cost for the until the end of semester 2
Scope Schedule Cost 73.1% 64.28 % 104.37 %
Table 3: variance between the desired and actual completed scope, schedule, and cost for the until the end of semester 2
Scope Schedule Cost 26.9 % 35.72 % (871.568 BD) 4.37% (71.6 BD)
We have completed 33.33% of the scope in semester 1 and have completed 15.40% in semester 2. Therefore the total completed scope is 48.73% while we were supposed to complete 66.67% of the scope until the end of semester 2. This means our progress in scope until this moment is 73.1% of the planned scope for semester 2 and therefore the variance is equal to 26.9%. We have completed 42.85% of the entire project at this stage while we were supposed to complete 66.67% of the entire project. This means we are progressing at 64.28% which means we are behind the schedule by 35.72% (variance cost 2440*0.3572 = 871.568 BD)) We have spent 54.66% of the entire project budget (1640 BD out of 3000); since we should spend 1568.4 BD at this stage. This means we are getting 0.9563 BD worth of performance for every 1 BD spent (we used 104.37 % of the budget specified for semester 1 and 2) which means the variance is equal to 4.37 % (variance cost 1640*0.0437 = 71.6 BD)

Current Status of Open Issues
Table 5, Current status of Open Issues
No. Description Root Cause Impact Contingency Plan
I1 Lack of time
Lack of experts assistance and therefore students took more time to solve the problems.
Lack of resources in the library which caused the students to spend long time researching in the internet.
The insufficient training that was given to the students resulted in manufacturing many parts out of tolerance and therefore they were remanufactured which resulted in time loss.
Delay in the plan.
More cost spent due to the remanufacturing.
Pressure on the students which affected their performance which correspondingly reduced the quality of the car.
Get experts assistance.
Provide username and passwords to students to scientific research databases (such as science-direct, springer, and Elsevier) and EBook library.
Increase the practical training period.
Extend the project period or work overtime.
Increase the number of students per team.
Less preferred solution: decrease the scope of the project.
I2 Damaging the accessories.
Insufficient training period.
Bad quality of accessories.
More money spent on purchasing new accessories.
Extend the training period.
Purchase high quality accessories
Putting rules and guidelines.
I3 Lack of Space Small Workshop.
Injuries have occurred because there are many students working with hazardous equipment in a small place.
Work on UOB labs.
I4 Lack of welding
machines.
There are only two welding machines, and one of them is not working properly.
Being behind the schedule.
Fixing the defective welding machine.
Rent welding machine.
I5 Bad welding
Insufficient training.
One of welding machines is not working properly.
The welding material is thinner than the required for welding mild steel.
Stress concentration.
Heat effected zone which makes the material weaker.
Increase the practice period.
Fixing the defective welding machine.
Purchase the exact welding material, and make sure that is fitted correctly.

Current Status of Change Requests
A. Change Request Log:
Table 7, Change Request Log
Change
Request
Number
Change Request Short Description Request Date Current Status
CR1
Do changes to the chassis design: because it was discovered that the stresses in practical are higher than what was calculated in theory, therefore new triangulations members will be added to the chassis frame, and also it will transformed from two drivers into one driver.
08/04/2014 In Review by Change
Control Board.
CR2 Extend the project period to have more time for manufacturing: because
the lack of time, it is required to have two more working weeks at least. 04/05/2014
Approved and Being Added to the Project Plan.
CR3
Change the rear suspension from McPherson to a solid axial: as the solid axial suspension is less complex and requires less time it is recommended to be used to overcome the lack of time issue.
20/04/2014 Rejected by the CCB.
CR4
Increase the budget in order to purchase high quality accessories: the accessories were getting damaged easily due to their cheap quality, therefore accessories with better quality is required.
01/06/2014 Rejected by the CCB.
CR5
Change the used material in manufacturing the suspension from mild steel 1020 to mild steel 1018: because in the analysis stages we realized that the stresses are high in the suspensions, therefore stronger material is required.
08/04/2014 Rejected by the CCB.

B. Integrated Change Control Process (5)
The change request process was followed in the project was as illustrated in the flow chart below:
1. Change management process
2. Identify the need for a change by, Stakeholder, Customer, and Project Manager.
3. Change is to be logged by the Project Manager in the change request register.
4. Change request to be submitted by the Project Manager to Change Control Board “CCB”.
5. CCB meets “Change control meeting” to evaluate change and decides.
6. Project Manager informs the team by the changes, updates plans and baselines, Implement change if Change Control Board
“CCB” approves the change.

BD saving. (Losing)
CPI (cost performance variance) EV/AC = 1568.44/1640 = 0.9563 We are getting 0.9563 BD worth of performance for every 1 BD
spent. Bad
EAC (estimate at completion) BAC/CPI = 3000/0.9563 = 3137.1 BD New budget which is higher than original.
ETC (estimate to complete) EAC – AC = 3137.1-1640 = 1497.1 We will expect to spend this amount to
complete project
VAC (variance at completion) BAC-EAC = 3000-3137.1 = -137.1 We are expecting to lose 137.1 BD at the end of this project.
