Appendix 1: Example project

Rotating tower crane

This example demonstrates elements of a Project management project that would be implemented to deliver a rotating tower crane to a customer.

The following diagram shows the main components of a rotating tower crane (RTC).

Structure

For additional information see Project structure.

The first stage of this example project would be to draw up a structure diagram for producing the rotating tower crane above.

This example project will be structured using the three master phases that need to be tracked from a financial perspective: a "design" phase, a "manufacturing" phase and an "installation" phase.

The "manufacturing" phase incorporates the manufacturing of the major components of the crane.
The "installation" phase in this example includes both assembly and quality assurance elements.

An example Project management structure diagram is provided below.

The project details must be created in the Project management function (GESPJM).

A cost structure to track costs is defined.

An operational structure to track replenishments and delays is defined.

The following sample screen represents a section of the operational structure from the structure diagram.

The labor task T10101 is to manage the assembly of the T10101A (Crane tower unit) task. Time planned and consumed, and the costs can be tracked using this task.
Tasks T10102-4 are the material tasks. In this example these tasks manage the product deliveries.

The labor tasks for the project are represented by the following example diagram:

The material tasks for the project are represented by the following example diagram:

It is important to have a clear vision of the expected follow-up of your project before creating the project structures and before starting your project. Defining the expected follow-up levels for both Budget and Tasks is a key element of this vision.
This appendix has demonstrated that whilst both structures can be different, for the simplest projects a single structure can be defined. This is described further in Project budgets.
