Objective
The company's main product, technical documentation, is undergoing a fundamental change from paper-based systems to electronically based systems. There is a need to develop client specific, high quality database systems. Technical and software expertise for this purpose is well-developed, but project management lacks behind. In order to meet timely completion very often extra effort has to be put in, resulting in exceeded budgets and therefore commercial losses on projects. The objective of the project is to counterbalance this situation by concentrating on improving some of the management aspects of new development project and bring them to a normal level of profitability.
THE EXPERIMENT
The experiment will be performed in the course of a major development project for interactive electronic technical manuals combined with an interactive electronic parts catalogue for a company in forestry machinery. Improvements will be implemented in the following fields of project management:: analysis of requirements, systematising functional specifications, project planning and budgeting efficiency improvements relating to the process of development (administrative and technical) and project monitoring by generating new information on essential parameters. A better understanding of the customer's demands and wishes is an essential input for good project planning and project execution.
Tedopres B.V. employs 70 people, of which 12 will be involved in the project which will concentrate on the work in the Interactive Electronic Documentation Department.
EXPECTED IMPACT AND EXPERIENCE
Through the project Tedopres will gain knowledge and experience to better prepare and plan projects on the basis of customer's requirements and to keep the projects in well-defined limits of costs and time, creating a positive margin on the projects.
