MGMT 302 Assignment 4
You will hypothetically make a prototype product, create a bill of materials and process sheet, develop a comprehensive manufacturing strategy, and determine the probable direct cost of the product when manufactured in large quantities. Do not develop a product that is made in your apartment, garage, etc.. Imagine that this project is being developed to present to the board of a global corporation, not a "Mom and Pop" enterprise!
Describe, in a paper of approximately 3-4 pages (excluding charts and diagrams), how you would undertake such an effort. A thoughtful, thorough, neat Project Management Chart, showing key activities and events leading up to the manufacturing process would be a very useful planning tool. Employ management principles and techniques as learned in other management or business subjects, along with your own style and common sense.
