Friendly Assisted Living Facility Case-7 It is now just 4 months until the Assisted Living Facility peogram is scheduled to be completed. The team is excited because they can watch the construction of the facility and feel they are moving towand the end of this peogram. Every week since construction began, the construction project manager, Kyle Nanno, has been holding a meeting of his project team. At the moetings he invites representatives of the construction company, the facilities manager from Friendly Medical Center, the Diectoe of Security. and other key people as he decms necessary. The meetings are scheduled every Friday at 1:00 pM and last not mose than 1 hour. No matter who is or is not there, Kyle starts the meeting exactly at 1:00 me. Kyle developed the fol. lowing standing agenda: 1. Review schedule and budget as of todyy's date 2. Review schedule and budget for next 2 weeks 3. Issues impacting schedule of budget 4. Next steps and action items to be completed The conatruction project update presented at the Apell 11,20X1 meeting is shown on the next page. After each moeting the construction project manager emails the minutes of the meeting and the action item list generated to each member of the Construction Project team. He also sends the information to Fred Splient, the peesident of Friendly Modical Centet, as well as to each member of the ALF Project Steering Team. Following the updase is the most recent copy of the action items generated at the \\( 4 / 11 / \\mathrm{X8} \\) construction project meeting. Upon reading the minutes and action items from the weck's meeting. Fred goe quite angry. Fred read the min. utes every week and would immediately phone Kyle to ask why certain decisions still had not been made. This week he wanted to know why the location of the security panel had not been picked out yet, and what the hair salon issue was about. Kyle decided that these mattes would be better discussed face to face. He went to Frod's office. Kyle peoceeded to explain to Fred that the Director of Security, Frank Geagy, had not attended the conotruction project update meeting in weeks. Kyle said that Frank informed him that in light of the cost cutting going on in the hospital, he is short staffed and cannot hire a new securisy guard. Frank states that he personally has to cover shifts during the time when the update meetings take place. Kyle told Fred that he was not comfortable making the security panel decision without the head of security's input, and that Frank has not returned his phone calls of answered his emails. Fred Splient proceeded to tell Kyle in a very loud and angry voice, \"That guy is not shott staffed and is noe busy covering anyone's shift. Who does be thnk he is?\" Fred instructed Kyle to tell Frank to answer the contractor's questions immediately of the decisions would be made for him. Kyle said he would do so and then changed the subject. He told Fred that they were still waiting for the city ofticials to approve the parking lot conatruction permit. Friendly Medical Center's legal officer estimated that it would take 8-10 wecks to hear back on approval. Kyle allocated that amount of time in the schedule. Kyle received notice from Fred to proced with the parking lot construction on January 11, 20X8. On Fetruary 9, he submitted the application for a permit, complete with appropriate plans and descriptions of the proposed lot, and allocated 10 weels to wait for the county to notify him. He expected approval on or before April 19 and scheduled construction to begin April 20. Privately, he doubted he would hear from the county by his target date. The lot would take 3 weeks to build, 2 weeks to install the lighting and add landscaping, and 1 week to pave and stripe. The plot had to be completed by the end of June so that parking spaces would be available when Marketing wanted to begin showing the facility to potential residents. This was a tight schedule, but the marketing people insisted that residents had to begin preparing for this kind of move at least a month before they took residence. Potential residents needed to see the facility, get familiar with apartment lyyouts, and they needed a place to park. Also, Marketing insisted on having some occupancy by the opening date. Kyle told Fred that Legal was calling the county weekly to follow up. Fred wanted to know why the parking lot eonstruction was not cutlined on the project plan for facilify construction. Fred asked Kyle to add it to the Gantt chart and to do a what-if analysis on the assumption that the county did not respond until May 1. Fred also wanted to know the latest date that they could be notified and still meet a June 15 deadline for completion of the lot. As Kyle was leaving Fred's office, Fred asked him about the hair salon. Kyle explained thas the COO and VP of Marketing had come up with an idea to build and operate a hair salon in the facility foe the residents. They thought this might be a great selling point that could generate revenue. They came to Kyle just 2 months ago and asked him to include a hair salon on the first floor of the facility, Kyle explained that he did not have enough information to be able to determine the impact this woeld have on the construction schedule or the cost of this addition. Fred lis tened and then wondered if the members of his team had done any analysis to determine if this was a good idea of not. Fred told Kyle he would set back to him on that one. He then made a phone call to the \\( \\mathrm{OOO} \\) and VP of Marketing
