項目管理，習作

We advise you to use Microsoft Project 2007 for this work. This is an individual assessment. All work submitted must be your own work. Any plagiarism or copying discovered will be referred to the appropriate Head of School and constitutes a serious examination offence.
我們建議您使用Microsoft Project2007為這項工作。這是一個個人的評估。提交的所有工作必須是你自己的工作。任何抄襲或復制發現合適的學校負責人將被稱為檢查構成了嚴重的罪行。

You must submit a written, typed or printed version of your coursework. Electronic submission or submission on a cd-rom or on a memory stick is not acceptable. It is not necessary to word process this assignment - work completed in a fair hand is permissible. If you do word process the task(s), we may wish to examine your work or work area at any stage during or after the assessment period. So please keep any media safe and make regular backups. Disc or printer failure is not an acceptable reason for late submission. Keeping discs and other electronic media (and their copies) safe is your responsibility.
你的課程必須提交一份書面，打字或印刷版。以電子方式提交或提交的CD-ROM或記憶棒上是不能接受的。這是沒有必要的文字處理這項任務 - 在一個公平的手完成的工作是允許的。如果你做文字處理的任務（次），在任何階段，我們不妨來考察你的工作或工作區考核期期間或之后。所以，請任何媒體保持安全，并定期備份。光盤或打印機故障是不是一個可以接受遲交的原因。保持光盤和其他電子媒體（及復印件），安全是您的責任。

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
背景資料：

This case study is based on a job run by a firm of Architects and constitutes the pre-contract programme of an estate restoration scheme.  For reasons of commercial sensitivity some tasks have been deleted, had their durations changed and/or had their links altered (at the reasonable request of the project owners). 
本案例研究的基礎上運行的工作由建筑師事務所和，地產恢復計劃構成合同前的程序。對于商業敏感性的原因，某些任務已經被刪除，改變其持續時間和/或改變他們的鏈接（在項目業主的合理要求）。

The tasks are already grouped and indented - but resource allocations have been stripped out.
 
The project file has been saved with a baseline. It has critical tasks unshaded and non critical tasks shaded. This is so that you can distinguish between them with a black and white printer.
 
Topple Estate Restoration:  Pre-contract Programme
推翻房地產恢復：合同前計劃

The project consists of about 80 tasks (some of which are summary tasks or milestones). The objective is to prepare an estate ready for the main works to commence - but does not include the main works schedule.#p#分頁標題#e#
該項目包括約80個任務（其中有一些是摘要任務或里程碑）。我們的目標是準備準備開始主體工程的房地產 - 但不包括主要工程時間表。

Requirements follow:

Section A:

You are given the following information about the supply of resources (all work based):
 
Resource Name:        Initials:       Max Units:     Standard Rate        O/T rate:
Architect             A           1000%     £75.00/h          £90.00/h
Manager              M           300%      £70.00/h          £85.00/h
Surveyor             S            500%      £65.00/h          £75.00/h
Labourer             L            300%      £35.00/h          £50.00/h
Landscape Gardener     G           200%      £40.00/h          £60.00/h
Interior Designer          D           100%      £60.00/h          £80.00/h
 
Required:      
 
Part A i)

First, allocate these resources to the activities as stated below (where “A”means Architect, “L” means Labourer and so on):
 
ID      Brief Name:                   Resources to be allocated:
6      Analysis of Contents for assimilation of brief    A at 200%
10     Erect scaffolding ...                L at 200%
11     Protection and appropriate pruning ...        L at 200% and G at 100%
30     Essential stripping out/ opening...          L at 300%#p#分頁標題#e#
31    Monitor Building.                     S at only 10% (yes, ten per cent.)
46     Undertake investigation (trial holes ....            S at 100%, L at 300%
54     Preparation of detailed info ..           A at 100%, G at 50%
71     Preparation of Bill of Quantities ...           A at 100%, S at 100%, G at 50%
74     Tender Analysis                      A at 100%, M at 100%
 
Next, using your common sense (and differently from every other student), allocate at least one of these resources to each of the sub tasks as you consider appropriate. Do not add resources to top level summary tasks or milestones (though you may wish to add various fixed costs to these later). 
 
For example, sub tasks which involve surveying will need at least one surveyor (S) allocated to them, those involving landscaping will require the landscape gardener (G) and sub tasks involving any work will need labourers (L). Some tasks may need more than one resource, at your discretion.

It is likely that some resource clashes will occur. For the first three such clashes, document
carefully and explain any changes made to resolve them either by you or by Project. 
 
If more than three clashes occur – just resolve them ... you do not need to document these
additional clashes.
 
Please note (and read carefully) - as guidelines:
請注意：（仔細閱讀） - 作為指導：

* Task numbers listed above correspond with those in the MS Project source file.

* With an acceptable allocation of resources (using the above tasks as guidelines for loadings), you should find that total costs are around £1 million. You should not need to extend the duration of the project. If you do - you are probably loading in too many resources on each task. Try again.

* You are advised to choose the option for “Level within available slack” from the Tools, Level Resources Window and to show the baseline as a reference point via the custom pages of the Gantt Chart Wizard. You should also save the baseline between clashes so as to collect clear evidence of each clash.

* Make sure that when you add resources to tasks you do so in a way that does not change task durations.  Either allocate all the resources to a task at once or add the resources and then reset the duration to it=s original value or turn off the effort driven mechanism (remember to turn it back on for later parts, though).#p#分頁標題#e#
    請相信，當你添加資源的任務，你這樣做不會改變的方式，任務持續時間。要么一次任務分配所有資源或添加的資源，然后重置持續時間=原價值或關閉的努力驅動機制（記得把它后面的部分）。

* If you decide to solve clashes manually then remember that is it better to add new links between tasks rather than “dragging” them forward. Adding new links does not set SNET constraints that may, later, cause you problems.
    如果您決定手動解決沖突的話，記得是能夠更好地添加新的任務之間的鏈接，而不是“拖”他們前進。添加新的鏈接不設置SNET限制后，可能導致你的問題。

* You must explain carefully and fully how either Project (or you) resolved these clashes at task level. You should provide suitable evidence of the changes.

*  You are advised to save versions of the file (with different names) at key points. In general, save your work frequently.
    建議您保存版本的文件（使用不同的名稱）的關鍵點。在一般情況下，保存您的工作。

* You may add other resources if you wish .... provided that you justify their inclusion.
    如果您愿意，您可以添加其他資源....只要你將其列入的理由。
