  • Select a different country and examine what policies the central banks enacted that have impacted exchange rates. (Example: China and currency control)

risk management

One of the risks you anticipated for the project was the late delivery of the prototype from the vendor. You adjusted your project schedule to minimize the impact of the risk, built in a penalty for late delivery, and created action plans in case the vendor delivered late. You also identified a risk with the vendor that they have very little technical depth; if the key engineer is not available to your project, the risk of a delay is even greater. You determined how you would monitor the vendor’s performance and ensure a timely delivery. You took a very risk-averse, protective approach to the relationship, but now, as the project is progressing, you are wondering if there is something you could do with the vendor to actually benefit the project instead of just protecting it.
Assignment Guidelines:
Create a 1-page addendum to your risk management plan that describes how you will modify the plans or create new plans relative to that vendor to create an opportunity that will result in lower costs, earlier delivery, higher quality, or other positive impacts.
Also, answer the following questions:

  • What can you change in your plans to create an opportunity?
  • What would that opportunity be?
  • What is the probability that this opportunity could occur? What is the impact?
  • What are the risks (adverse effect) that are introduced by this change in plans?
  • How will you communicate this change to the vendor?

Your submitted assignment must include the following:

  • A 1-page addendum
  • A 2 to 3 page document answering the questions above

cost & schedule

 
A project has an expected duration of 34 weeks with a critical path variance of 6. Suppose the project network is given and the critical path is identified on the network.  Suppose the normal time, crash time, and the associated cost for each activity is given. You have been asked by your supervisor to prepare a research paper that addresses the follow criteria:

  • What is the probability that the project will be completed in 32 weeks or less?
  • If the project is to be shortened by four days, list the process you would take to determine which activities, in order of reduction, would be shortened and the resulting cost.
  • Describe project cost and the requirements for its determination and application in a production facility.
  • Analyze implications of changes in the parameters of project timing and cost determination.
  • Evaluate application of project cost and timing concepts on a firm’s business operations.

Present your findings as a 1-2 page Word document formatted in APA style.

earned value

Using Earned Value to Determine Status
Jennifer turned in her status report for the newly approved mailing activities. She feels that her pieces are on track with nothing for you to worry about. She reports the following information for the critical path tasks:
You review her status report and determine that Jennifer does not have a solid grasp of her status. Ben was unable to provide you with anything more than, “Things are moving along just fine.”

  • Using earned value measurements along with the other information and metrics available, determine the true status of Jennifer’s portion of the project.
  • Prepare an updated status report (1 page) for Jennifer and share the measurements and your rationale in your determination of the status for the project.
  • Create a 2-3 slide presentation explaining the benefits of using EVM.
  • Be sure to document some instructions (1-page document) for Jennifer and Ben for determining the project status for their next project update to you.
  • Also, provide materials that would be used to train Jennifer and Ben on the benefits and application of earned value.
  • The materials should include some guidelines for Jennifer and Ben to help them create and then interpret the metrics.

Use EBSCO Host or Google Scholar to find the case legislature or court documentation that discusses the prosecution outcome. Be sure to include this reference on your reference page. Please follow APA guidelines; provide a title and reference page, use Times New Roman 12 point font, and double-space your lines. The reference for the book is:
