This is project management course question from BUS 353, SUSS
As the project progresses, the following issues are encountered:
i. The raise floor (Activity 11) requirement is different from the initial design due to lack of the detailed floor plan. Additional work and different materials are required. Two (2) additional days and an additional amount of $3,000 are required. As it is an oversight of MOD, USB will not pay for this additional cost.
ii. Due to the appreciation of Japanese Yen, the Supervise subcontractor on supply and install aircon(Activity 14) costs 10% more.
iii. USB has just purchased a new bank equipment which needs customisation. The duration of Customise banking equipment(Activity 5) has to be increased by three (3) days.
This requirement was not stated in the contract. USB agreed to pay for the additional work, but need the branch hand over date to remain on 3 September 2024. You need to increase Activity 5s duration by 3 days and request Mary to work on weekday, Saturday and/or Sunday when necessary to meet the deadline. Mary agreed despite her disappointment. Make a decision on the dates.
Since the equipment causing the change is not in the contract, the cost will be charged separately to USB. MOD management wants the Cost Performance Index (CPI) to be based on the baselined cost. Hence, leave the Activity 15 cost unchanged.
For the activities that has additional days, do I set them as "increse work but keep hours reseource work per day (units the same or decrease the hour resources work per day (units) but keep the same amount of work?
