Project Title: Acme Home Improvements de Mexico Site Construction & Opening Project
Project Start Date: February 28, 2005 Project Finish Date: February 27, 2006
Budget Information: The budget allocated is not to exceed $7.5 million, with a sizeable portion of it going towards the actual construction as well as to associated distributed costs. The various costs include: building materials, landscaping and safety equipment, shipping, labor, temporary housing, and office facilities, travel, administrative expenses, staffing, training, and stocking of inventory. Project Manager: John Tarea, 011-52-444-123-1234, john.tarea@ahim.com
Project Sponsor: Alex R. Fitzgerald, CEO Acme Home Improvements, arfitzgerald@ahi.com
Project Objectives: Deploy Acme's capabilities to meet the commercial and private construction market demands in the Mexico City area. Expand into international markets to meet the competition head-on and beat them, not only at home, but also abroad. To meet this goal and compete effectively Acme must open its first store in this major metropolitan area inside 12 months. To open this store within a year, Acme will build a project team that communicates effectively, operates efficiently, and is experienced in international ventures. The project team will construct a 100K sq ft structure, with an additional 10k sq ft of exterior space for garden products. The store's design must excel in supporting each of Acme's five core business areas: plumbing/electrical supplies, building materials, hardware and tools, seasonal/garden/yard, and paint/wall coverings. The project team will construct a comprehensive plan upon which they will base execution. This plan encompasses all details from site preparation through hiring and
training.
