EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (ABSTRACT)
The island of Eleuthera has for many years requested a hospital. The Bahamas
government heeded to the cries of the Bahamian people. They decided to provide
the island with a state of the art mini hospital. The mini hospital will be called the
Eleuthera Diagnostic & Healthcare Facility (EDHF).
The hospital will assist with
the much needed healthcare on the island. The project will last approximately
elven months. It will be a 50,000 square feet building and financed by the National
Insurance Board (NIB) of the Bahamas.
The Bahamas Government has sought out a consultant and management
company, which is Seashore Management Services (SMS). SMS is a company
that has been around for over thirteen years and they have managed similar
projects successfully.
SMS has hired a construction company, which is Geometric
Design and Construction Company (GDCC). GDCC has been an avid competitor
in the construction field of commercial, residential and government housing
projects and developments.
It is a small based company whose main office is
situated in Nassau, Bahamas.
In the past projects of a similar magnitude has encountered issues, such as ample
or adequate management.
Previous projects would have run into major time
delays and would have had issues with meeting all the projects requirements; and
as a result, they would have suffered from cost overruns.
There were also issues
with tracking similar projects, as there were not adequate information or
methodologies that could have assisted with the proposed project.
The Final Graduation Project’s general objective is to create a project management
plan for the construction of the Eleuthera Diagnostic & Healthcare Facility (EDHC)
project.
The specific objectives were: to create the project charter for the project
and assist with providing a viable project management plan; to develop a project
scope management plan that assists with allocating all work required to
successfully complete the project; to create a time management plan that will
ensure that the project schedule is completed and the management of time
objectives; to create a project cost management plan that will manage the budget
and ensure that the project stays within budget; to create a project human resource
management plan that identifies how resources will be acquired and managed; to
develop a project risk management plan to foresee, identify risks and reduce the
impact of negative risk impact but also identify and exploit any positive risks on the
project; to create a project procurement management plan that will assist in
attaining products and services that will be used by the project; to create a project
communications management plan that will assist with providing actual
communication with vital information during the project; and develop a project stakeholder management plan that will develop key strategies that will engage
stakeholders during the lifecycle of the project.The research methodologies that were used for this study were primary and
secondary information.
The primary sources used were interviews, internet
communications via emails, journals, articles and websites. The secondary
sources used for this study were textbooks, blogs, journals, articles and websites. The methodology used for this research were based on assessments using the
analytical and interview research methods. These methods were selected and
used and analyzed to develop the Project Management Plan for the Healthcare
Facility.
It is concluded that all of the areas will work together to support the Project
Management Plan.
The areas that were discussed were the Project Integration
Management, Project Scope Management, Project Time Management, Project
Cost Management, Project Quality Management, Project Human Resources
Management, Project Communication Management, Project Risk Management,
Project Procurement Management, and Project Stakeholder Management.
The
information concluded for each area was vital in providing the strongest Project
Management Plan possible. There were recommendations derived to provide a more viable Project
Management Plan. One of the recommendations was that Seashore Management
Services (SMS) should use the Project Management Plan as a tool.
Other
recommendations were that SMS should assess each category in the plan, ensure
that the stakeholders matrix is used effectively and a risk management tool should
be looked into as a potential investment.
Also, it was suggested that persons are
hired with the correct skillsets to have a successful outcome and a successful
project. Lastly, it was suggested that SMS use the Project Management Plan
created as a potential and practical framework for any future projects.
