Project Management Assignment: Automated Car Wash Center in Dehradun

$$

You are tasked with managing a project to build an automated big car wash center in Dehradun. The objective is to successfully plan and propose this project by conducting a feasibility study, creating a Work Breakdown Structure $($WBS$),$ an Organizational Breakdown Structure $($OBS$),$ a project baseline schedule, and cost estimation.

The first phase involves a comprehensive feasibility study. In the market analysis, you will assess the demand for a car wash center in Dehradun by conducting surveys or research on current facilities. This includes identifying target customers, estimating the potential market size, and analyzing competitors and their offerings. The technical feasibility requires determining the type of automated technology to be used, such as touchless, brush, or conveyor systems. You will identify suitable locations for the car wash center and assess the availability of necessary infrastructure, including water supply, electricity, and drainage. Financial feasibility involves estimating the initial investment required, projecting potential revenue and profitability, and identifying funding sources or financial partners. Additionally, legal and environmental considerations must be addressed by investigating zoning laws and regulations related to car wash centers in Dehradun, evaluating environmental impacts, and proposing mitigation strategies.

The second phase is the development of the Work Breakdown Structure $($WBS$),$ where you will break down the project into major deliverables and sub$-$deliverables, defining tasks and subtasks required to complete each deliverable using a hierarchical structure. In the third phase, you will create the Organizational Breakdown Structure $($OBS$)$ by identifying key project team members and their roles, mapping team members to specific tasks and responsibilities in the WBS$,$ and ensuring alignment between the WBS and OBS for efficient project execution.

The fourth phase involves developing the project baseline schedule. You will identify all project activities and milestones, estimate the duration of each activity, and create a Gantt chart or network diagram to visualize the project timeline. The fifth and final phase is cost estimation, where you will break down costs into categories such as construction, equipment, labor, and permits. You will provide detailed cost estimates for each category and include contingency costs to account for potential risks and uncertainties.
