EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (ABSTRACT)
The Regional Health Service (RGD) is a semi-governmental organization responsible for primary healthcare in the coastal area of Suriname. With more than 45 healthcare facilities and 30 employees houses, it is the largest organization in its category. In the past 5 years the RGD, has managed a few construction projects. All these projects were completed over the final delivery date, resulting in a loss of resources, budget and opportunities. The main reason for this is, that except from the architectural plans, no other plans were developed on how to manage the project and there is little to no experience and knowledge in project management methodologies.
The organization is planning the construction of seven healthcare centers in the coastal area, starting with the construction of the healthcare center Limesgracht. In order to make this project a success, the organization has to adhere to project management guidelines and develop a project management plan to guide the execution, monitoring/ controlling and closing of the project. The PMBOK Guide 5th Edition was used as reference to develop the Project Management Plan and all the subsidiary plans for the development of the project.
The general objective of this FGP was to develop a Project Management Plan for the construction of the new RGD Health center Limesgracht. The project management plan defined the approach used to manage, control and deliver the intended project management scope. The specific objectives were: to develop a project charter that authorizes the project, to create a scope management plan to manage the scope and required works, to create a time management plan to manage the project schedule, to ensure the project is completed within the allotted time frame, to develop a cost management plan to manage the project budget, to create a quality management plan to identify the quality requirements and expectations for the project, to develop a human resource management plan to identify and manage all required human resources, to create a communication management plan to ensure effective communication and sharing of information, to create a risk management plan to identify and examine risks and how to minimize these, to create a procurement management plan to serve as a guideline on how to obtain products and services and to create a stakeholder management plan to identify all the project stakeholders and how to manage them.
The methodology used for the research was analytical or explanatory. The main sources used to gather information included The Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) Fifth Edition, the Green Project Management P5 Standard for Sustainability in Project Management (GPM P5 Standard) and interviews. The information obtained was analyzed to create the subcomponents of each of the subsidiary plans.
The Project Management Plan, developed using the PMBOK® Guide 5th Edition, will provide the RGD, a set of best practices for project management that can be used as knowledge to develop a new methodology to manage future construction projects. The RGD should consider the use of the documents and templates, developed during the development of the Project Management Plan for the New RGD Health center Limesgracht as a basis for future projects.
