Ashford 2: – Week 1 – Assignment

 

Project Charter

 

Scenario: Roto Air

 

You will be working with the following scenario throughout this course. You are free to make 

 

reasonable assumptions when facts have not been provided, but do state them as you complete 

 

the assignments.

 

You are a project manager for Roto Air, Inc., a successful manufacturer of autonomous rotorcraft 

 

(drone helicopters) headed by CEO Jackie Copperfield. You work at the research and 

 

development facility in central New York and have been given the assignment of transitioning 

 

the manufacturing processes for the newest product, the Quick Drop 100, to its permanent 

 

manufacturing site in central Florida. The Florida plant is non-union, has lower property taxes, 

 

and lower utility costs than the New York location. You will be sharing an existing building 

 

owned by Roto Air and used for assembly of other similar products. While floor space has been 

 

allocated for your product, the specialized machinery and tools must be procured. One of these 

 

machines is to be custom built and has a lead time of 5 months. Normal support functions such 

 

as human resources, facility maintenance, and manufacturing engineering are already available 

 

in Florida. A manual with the product assembly instructions and specifications is needed for 

 

training the new manufacturing technicians and will remain your responsibility to complete. An 

 

appropriate budget of $1M has been approved for first year transition costs. Annual savings from 

 

the move are expected to be $250,000 per year. The budget is controlled by John Golden, plant 

 

manager in Florida. Manufacturing is scheduled to start in the new location six months from 

 

today. You have a well-qualified team of four other employees that are free to travel as needed 

 

from their New York home to Florida. Although the team members have worked on many 

 

projects, they have not worked together before. Team members are Jackie, Ken, Jose, and 

 

Shawn. Upon successful transition you will return to your responsibilities in New York.

 

Assignment: 

 

This week you will complete the project charter. Various publications and organizations have 

 

differing contents for a charter; however you will be working with the outline preferred by Roto

2. Prepare a scope statement for the transition project.
