PROJECT MANAGEMENT, COURSEWORK
项目管理，习作

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.
我们建议您使用Microsoft Project2007为这项工作。这是一个个人的评估。提交的所有工作必须是你自己的工作。任何抄袭或复制发现合适的学校负责人将被称为检查构成了严重的罪行。

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.
你的课程必须提交一份书面，打字或印刷版。以电子方式提交或提交的CD-ROM或记忆棒上是不能接受的。这是没有必要的文字处理这项任务 - 在一个公平的手完成的工作是允许的。如果你做文字处理的任务（次），在任何阶段，我们不妨来考察你的工作或工作区考核期期间或之后。所以，请任何媒体保持安全，并定期备份。光盘或打印机故障是不是一个可以接受迟交的原因。保持光盘和其他电子媒体（及复印件），安全是您的责任。

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
背景资料：

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). 
本案例研究的基础上运行的工作由建筑师事务所和，地产恢复计划构成合同前的程序。对于商业敏感性的原因，某些任务已经被删除，改变其持续时间和/或改变他们的链接（在项目业主的合理要求）。

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
推翻房地产恢复：合同前计划

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#分页标题#e#
该项目包括约80个任务（其中有一些是摘要任务或里程碑）。我们的目标是准备准备开始主体工程的房地产 - 但不包括主要工程时间表。

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#分页标题#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:
请注意：（仔细阅读） - 作为指导：

* 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#分页标题#e#
    请相信，当你添加资源的任务，你这样做不会改变的方式，任务持续时间。要么一次任务分配所有资源或添加的资源，然后重置持续时间=原价值或关闭的努力驱动机制（记得把它后面的部分）。

* 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.
    如果您决定手动解决冲突的话，记得是能够更好地添加新的任务之间的链接，而不是“拖”他们前进。添加新的链接不设置SNET限制后，可能导致你的问题。

* 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.
    建议您保存版本的文件（使用不同的名称）的关键点。在一般情况下，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，您可以添加其他资源....只要你将其列入的理由。
