Part 1: Project Charter

Title of the project:

Mobile Manufacturing Unit

Purpose

The purpose of the project is to maximize the production of mobile phones and increase the rate of employment among the working population. The Manufacturing unit will be placed in India. The purpose is to increase and enhance the rapid need for mobile and technological gadgets in the country. Also, there will be a motive to provide employment to Indian youth and resolve their existing unemployment issues.

Project Description and objectives

The project will involve the setting up of a manufacturing area which will have almost six divisions or groups. It will cover approximately 18,00 area m2. The permissible area will be around 15,00 area m2 where the running and functioning of the plant will be done. There will be 6 different divisions which will be working areas that are software unit, Hardware unit, Product design unit, Manufacturing centre, Sales and marketing unit and technical support unit. The manufacturing area will be the largest among them where the assembling and packaging of the hardware and software components will take place. There will be clearance taken from the local authority and government officials so that the mobile manufacturing unit is compatible and satisfies all the standards of workplace safety. There is an estimation to manufacture of 900 mobile phones in a day. The objective of the project is to ensure the mobile manufacturing unit is capable to deliver the growing demand for mobile in India. Also, there will be around more than 100 workers and technicians working in the unit who will be provided with employment.

Success criteria or expected benefits

The success criteria for the following project will be based on its success metrics. The success criteria could be as follows:

· The mobile manufacturing unit can manufacture 1200 mobile phones in a day.

· The manufacturing unit can employ at least 100 unemployed candidates.

· The manufacturing Unit is running for a minimum of 18 days a month.

· There are no fatal cases or injuries in the working area.

· The shipment of the produced mobile phones is adequately done without damage to the new mobile phones.

· The manufacturing area is the non-toxic zone where managers and workers have good working conditions.

· The production is not at a halt due to the unavailability of the resources or uneven distribution of resources.

Funding

The funding for the mobile manufacturing unit is given to the respective company where the funding could be implied with the financial institutions and banks. There will be a one-third share of the Indian government to uplift employment and enhance mobile productivity in the country. The estimated cost and required funding for respective items for the manufacturing unit are given below:

Major deliverables

The major deliverables from the project are as follows:

· Manufacturing of six different stations/units (software unit, Hardware unit, Product design unit, Manufacturing centre, Sales and marketing unit and technical support unit).

· There are new job opportunities and employment created.

· There are around 900 mobile phone units manufactured and delivered to the respective warehouse.

· The manufacturing unit copes with the increasing need and demand for mobile phones.

· To make India self-resilient to manufacture mobile and decrease the dependency on other countries.

Acceptance criteria

The acceptance criteria for the project will be defined and based on the effectiveness of the project deliverables. The project will be accepted when the following deliverables are efficiently performed:

· There are minim defects in the designing and planning phase of the manufacturing unit.

· The project manager is adequately able to coordinate and collaborate with the team.

· The working stations are equipped with resources and power backup supplies.

· There are no fatalities while working at heights.
