PROJECT SCOPE STATEMENT

PROJECT OBJECTIVE

This stores expansion will be using the walk crawl run technique in order to meet our organizations objectives. The first objective will be to move forward with expanding the core product line by 10%. Expanding the core product line may appear as a small step and could take time to expand all active retail stores. Expanding one store at a time will be a building block and learning experience for other stores to eventually emulate. Increasing this stores revenue by 10% is the first step and has the potential to add an additional 30% across the business once all stores in the chain have expanded their product lines by 10%. In the years to come, our organization should have met the objective of expansion of the original three stores and completed construction of the fourth store across state lines with a 25% increase in revenue meeting the objective of an annual revenue of at least $5 million. After the organization has established all objectives as mentioned above each store will reach out to local communities throughout the state to support and sponsor local events. Meeting these timelines and objectives will allow our stores to also meet our vision statement “The Retail Store strives to be the leading retailer as measured by fiscal results and community improvement advocacy within every small community.”

DELIVERABLES

1. Marketing analysis and strategies driven towards building a larger base of loyal Retail Store customers, as well as maximizing the sales on new products.

2. Provide customers with a more robust product line and better service aimed at enhancing their Retail Store shopping experience.

3. Cost analysis of receiving dock automation options.

3. Floor layout design document, which will provide an illustrative understanding of how the new floor plan will be laid out.

4. Additional store shelves that meet footprint requirements and match current store shelving.

5. Marketing advertisements to be used for grand re-opening; television, newspaper, and radio.

MILESTONES

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

1. There is a need for receiving equipment that is automated to decrease the off-load times of trailers which will enable off-load of the expected increase in trailers. Receiving dock forklift or off-load conveyor will reduce offload time and increase the rate of product flow.

2. Dependent on receiving dock automation results, additional power requirements to the dock will be necessary to handle the increase in power consumption

3. Extension of the hazardous material program (storage & disposal) and safety protocols will be required to meet state and federal requirements based on automation results.

4. Training of new employee and current receiving dock employees on specific duties associated with their department.

LIMITS AND EXCLUSIONS

1. New employees will not be hired due to a negligible increase in work requirements, per employee.

2. Employees’ salaries will not be increased despite a slight increase in the workload.

3. No additional or external training for receiving dock automation will be requested. All training will be conducted on site and retained as part of the initial contract.

4. Marketing area will be limited to the local community and no further than 25 miles surrounding.

5. New products will be limited to current suppliers unless market analysis indicates a greater than 50% request.
