1) Make a scope statement of the project.
2) Prepare a schedule and budget for the project. 3) Identify the critical path and critical items in the schedule. 4) Identify any risks and how to accommodate these risks. 

The Advanced Diesel Engine Company is introducing a groundbreaking new engine design. As part of the introduction, the company will be providing world wide maintenance support for the engines. This support will require a field support unit used by maintenance personnel to make updates and repairs as needed. A new feature being introduced with this engine is the ability of the maintenance unit to rapidly produce certain repair parts on site as needed. The engines will be introduced into 3 regions: North America, Europe, and Asia. The Asia region includes China and Japan. The North American region includes the US and Canada (including Hawaii and Alaska). The European region includes Western Europe and Eastern Europe. Specifications: The maintenance unit includes 3 main sub systems that must be procured: region specific chassis, tooling and manuals, and on-board computer diagnostic system with 3D printer. Each chassis can be built in any of the regions and shipped to the region as needed. The cost of procuring the chassis is listed in Table 1. Table 2 and 3 show the cost and time of transporting the unit to the appropriate region. All items must be at the assembler prior to building the unit. Each unit requires 3 months to assemble the completed unit and can produce 1 una per month. Expediting a unit will incur a 20% penalty. Table 1 Chassis costs Manufacture in region North America.
