ABC company has got a new contract to build a state of art manufacturing plant making Plastic bottles. Your group is the project management group and you as a group will do the project management. The project cost is estimated at $5 million ( +- 10% is allowed in the contract) with six blow moulding machines from the husky company. The project duration is six months.

There are few additional inputs for you to build the project management and they are as follows:

1. Husky is a blow moulding machine manufacturer based in Ontario, their lead time is 2 months. (order ASAP so you have enough time for installation)
2. There is no need to build the factory as there is already unused building space for the project. You need electricity, water, and compressed air supply from a nearby machine.
3. You need the machine installation mechanically, electrically connect water and airline. You also need to work with husky customer service when installation is complete, so they can come and run the trial production run.
4. Work schedule Monday to Friday 9 AM to 5 PM
5. No overtime is allowed unless a special requirement exists.
6. The project scope is not included a trial run from Husky after sales, however, if any installation is incomplete as highlighted by the Husky team, will be a job for the project.
7. You need to hire a safety representative for 4 hours a day (Monday to Friday)
8. Consult a lawyer once for the legal aspect.
9. Husky machines will cost $750,000 each.
