Develop a work breakdown structure for an Inventory Management System. Include at least 3 levels in your diagram.

An Inventory Management System for automotive parts is currently being developed for a manufacturing company producing the Neptune. The Neptune is an energy efficient solar powered cross over vehicle, manufactured by an automotive manufacturing company. The Inventory Management System has been created to effectively manage all parts used to make the cross over vehicle and the parts required to for the tools that are used to manufacture the cross over vehicle.

Change is inevitable in the development and the sustainment of any system. It ensures the system evolves over time to a specific future state of capabilities needed to meet the needs of the user. The goal is to optimize performance of the system throughout its life cycle (Prosci, n.d.)

External Event Supplier can ship the wrong version or a service auto part used for an earlier version of the vehicle. If this part is entered into the Inventory Management System and delivered to the assembly line, retrofitting will be required if the service part is installed. This can be an expensive mistake because the vehicle will need to be removed and the correct part installed. However, during the installation of the incorrect/service part, adjacent parts may be damaged. The supplier can avoid this situation by conducting a root cause analysis (e.g. fish bone diagram). The spare parts can also be housed in separate areas of the suppliers facility, appropriately labeled and identified.

Error or omission in scope of product The inventory management system may have an omission in the scope of the product by having only suppliers from the United States because they are the most commonly used suppliers. However, the inventory management system must be able to handle deliveries from suppliers from the United States as well as Mexico, Japan, and Germany.

Error or omission in scope of project The inventory management system may have an omission in the scope of the project by not having a trigger to order additional parts when the inventory levels reach a certain level. It must be able to have the ability to automatically generate an order for the approval parts when quantities reach an established minimum quantity on hand.

Value-added change The inventory management system can offer an accounting module within the system that allows for integration with other systems to support invoicing, billing, and auditing.

Risk Response The inventory management system can have multi-factor authentication to minimize unauthorized intrusions. Risks can be minimized with multi-factor authentication. In the event of a breach in the system, the system will automatically lock for that user and not display the contents of the inventory management system. Instead, it would prompt the user to contact the helpdesk or system administrator for support.
