Scenario 1




– You are the Plant Manager in a large custom fabrication shop. Your shop has a history of providing high-quality structural steelwork for the growing southern Ontario market. However, due to domestic and offshore competition, you and your team made the recommendation and received approval to automate your cutting and welding areas with new CNC Machinery. This addition will increase capacity, productivity, and lower cost per ton of structural steel produced. This project includes modifications to the plant, moving and/or selling old machinery, plant modification to the electrical and control system, crane modifications, and shop employees' training in the use of the machinery and software programming. You have decided to create an Internal Change Team, assigned the Design Engineer as Project Lead, and requested he makes his team members from current employees. Everyone on the project will still be responsible for their existing roles and contribute to this project. This project has a 4-month window and a $1.8 million budget.
