In: Operations Management
Situation:
You work for a clothing manufacturing company that makes high quality light weight denim jeans and tee shirts. All of your products are 100% cotton of the highest quality and are known for their excellent workmanship. The company marketing department recently held a brainstorming activity with key customers and other stakeholders and has recognized there is a great deal of short-term potential in the idea of making facial masks which are increasingly required to be worn in response to the COVID 19 outbreak. Though many companies and individuals are making masks, your company is in a unique position to do this with a creative twist. Here is the idea:Facial masks increasingly render facial recognition software in all its various forms and uses useless. The idea is to use technology that would allow customers to upload a photo of their face, then graphically transfer the lower portion of the face to a custom-made mask that would effectively show an individual’s entire face while wearing it. Senior management agrees that this has some great potential in the short term and would like to convert one of the tee shirt manufacturing lines to custom mask production. You have been asked to create a project plan and report your plans back to leadership within 3 days.
Your Task:
Your project is to convert the line and make it ready for production of 5000 custom masks a week for 4 weeks (total of 20,000 masks), with the project starting in just three weeks. Said another way, you have three weeks to get things ready for production. The shipping department will take the completed masks and make them ready for shipping, so this will not be included in the scope of your work. You have been told that time is the most critical constraint so your budget is flexible.
1. Please write a statement of Project Scope
A Thumbs Up! Would be really helpful for me. If you have any questions, please leave a comment and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Here we will write a project scope statement upon manufacturing off face mask during a COVID-19 pandemic.
Title:- MANUFACTURING OF GRAPHIC FACE MASK.
Date:- 27 April 2020
Our clothing manufacturing company is going to manufacture some graphic face mask for the people during this pandemic of COVID-19. We ensure you that, the quality of our product would be excellent and all the face mask would be made up of 100% cotton of supreme quality. This is a tough situation, we all have to fight together against COVID-19. To fight against this virus, we need to be immune and to make sure that all the people are immune and safe. We are manufacturing some graphic face masks. All the people have to do is, upload their pictures so that we can graphically transfer the lower portion of the face to the custom made mask. This is a very effective technique to show an individual entire face while wearing it and this is a very innovative idea. We have a target to produce 5,000 customers a week, and we will produce these masks for four weeks, which comes to a total of 20,000 masks in a total of 4 weeks. We are converting our clothing line into the manufacturing of face masks just for the people who need such equipment the most.
