What would the scope management plan look like?
Given the following charter:
| Project | Capacity Planning | Sponsor | |
| Project Manager | Date Updated | May 18, 2023 | |
| Business Case: Background | SAP was implemented in February of 2023 from Metalware. The business has noticed longer than usual lead times and has to figure the lead time per machine manually. The capability to do this is inside SAP by use of capacity tools. | ||
| Business Case: Business need and business benefits | The business wants to drop lead times from eight weeks to four weeks. To do this, they need to see their machines' capacity and where they are regarding machine utilization. The business needs to be trained in the proper use of capacity tools inside of SAP; this will help them see capacity utilization per work center and allow them to give more accurate lead times and allow them to see where overtime may be needed or where production can be shifted in able to meet the customer's demand and, in the end meeting the goal of lead times of four weeks. | ||
| Objectives | Reduce business lead times from eight weeks to four weeks Identify potential bottlenecks in the existing process Develop capacity framework inside SAP Develop an understanding of SAP capacity tools and capabilities Look at current resources and realign as needed Improve communication between OMS, schedulers, and customers | ||
| Scope | In Scope | Out of Scope | |
| Machine routing times | Forecasting | ||
| Training of SAP capacity tools | S&OP process | ||
| Adding and removing work centers | Plant layout | ||
| Time Studies | All other plants | ||
| Reallocation of resources | Capital for new equipment | ||
| test plant | |||
| Refine capacity planning processes on regular bases | |||
| Establish KPIs for measuring success | |||
| Deliverables | Deliverables | Dates | |
| Look at current process, to include bottle necks | 4/24/2023 - 4/28/2023 | ||
| Look at capacity tools inside of SAP | 5/1/2023 - 5/31/2023 | ||
| Run Machine Time Studies | 5/1/2023 - 5/31/2023 | ||
| Adjust routing Times where applicable | 6/1/2023 - 6/9/2023 | ||
| Train proper indivduals on SAP Capacity Tools | 6/12/2023 - 6/19/2023 | ||
| Lead times down to six weeks | 6/19/2023 - 7/19/2023 | ||
| Documentation of Capacity requirments | |||
| Update routing inside SAP where needed | |||
| Budget | Minimal budget as resources are already in place and meetings and training will be conducted virtually | ||
| Key Considerations | Assumptions & Constraints | ||
| Assumptions: Support and cooperation from managers and stakeholders; Access to relevant data needed for machine routing times; Proper resources available for implementing and training capacity planning inside SAP | |||
| Constraints: Project timeline limitations; accurate and timely data dependency to meet timeline; initiative not being pushed from the top; resistance to change; resources stretched beyond their current jobs; Custom code needed inside of SAP | |||
| Success criteria | Success from the project would be getting lead times down to six weeks in the first month with goal of four weeks within three months. | ||
| Being able to roll findings in test plant out to the rest of the plants | |||
| Using SAP to figure lead times and not have to use outside tools | |||
