Interface OUT OF SCOPE |
The following systems are identified to be OUT OF SCOPE and NOT FUNDED for this phase and may be implemented in a later phase, at a later time. There will be no automated functionality or exchange of data in the first phase of the Production Integrator with the following systems:
Application | Purpose |
PD Factory Applications: - Investment Efficiency Toolset - Calendarization Model - Work Hours Management system (eWHMS, Black & White) - Budget & Actual Reporting (BOPS)(GBOPS) - Engineering Inventory - Global Cycle Planning System (GCPS) - input program timing, vehicle volume, powertrain lineup, global cycle plans, program information. - Global Resource Management (GRM) – determine sharing program timing and resource requirements. - Global Program Resource Report (GPRR) - Advanced Vehicle Bill of material (AVBOM) | |
Vehicle Class Data Set (VCDS) | Apply agreed approach to use VCDS data as applicable to new solution. |
PD QOS | Complete integration and reporting of health chart metrics at the functional and vehicle program level is out of scope. Only receiving timing metrics is in scope. |
Allow suppliers to use Integrator directly (CDSID) to complete assessments, usually on a monthly basis. | |

(phase 0.3) Current assumption is this will be contained within budget.
Financial & Overall Implementation Benefits Summary: |
Overall reduction in IT custom enhancement work to ensure compliance with GPDS changes and business requests: $288K Annually
$4.3M Annual save across Product Development and Quality specifically with PMT and PD factory engineering efficiencies as they track and deliver Global Product Development System (GPDS). (See attached matrix for details).
Supports D&R council and PMT Effectiveness QPIP efforts to improve Engineering Productivity through reduction in redundant data entry (Robust FDJ etc.).
Eliminates hidden factory reporting outside of Integrator Supports global program efforts to manage status and reporting efficiently.
Opportunity to eliminate application costs associated with GCPS (Global Cycle Planning System) as well as GRM (Global Resource Management) but leverage a single toolset for all functions.
Business Owner signoff.
Application control review signoff from the SCC/ICC team
Customization of reports and Integration systems web services customization for the production launch
# | Critical Risk Factor | Mitigation Strategy |
1 | Availability of SMEs across CBGs | |
2 | Availability of Integration Team resources | |
3 | For Reporting, Planisware reporting may not meet our requirements. Setting up the VPP timing with Benoit in Planisware was “pretty rough”. We may need to additionally look at Congo’s and/or Web Focus for reporting. Planisware is working on a new BI module that is scheduled for release in early 2012. | set a go/no go date in the VPO (or one of the pilots) for using Planisware for reporting. |
The Risks and mitigation strategies will be maintained in Clarity. Additional risks may be identified during the Project progress at which time they will be added to the Clarity tool and managed
Project Risks | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Project Risks (Cont'd)
Risk Category / Risk Description | |
Unclear Objectives and Requirements | |
| The support model between the business and IT is not agreed on. Need agreement on development and on-going support to get an accurate deployment cost estimate |
Resource availability | |
| Availability of other application teams during the implementation of project (TCe, EDMS, SharePoint) may not be able to make changes to meet our production launch timing. |
| Resources to develop/execute applications training have not been identified. |
Software | |
| Initial feedback and training indicate the report capabilities within Planisware may not be robust enough to support Ford's requirements (VPP,etc.) If Planisware reporting tool does not cover the business’s needs, other tools will need to be evaluated (such as Cognos or WebFocus). This will result in a delay in timing and an increase in the project cost. |
| Initial feedback from tool training and Airbus indicate more emphasis may be needed to validate UI with end users early on to ensure the tool is simple to use. |
Sponsorship, Governance | |
| Few of the L2 steering members have been participating in the governance meetings adding risk to the overall acceptance of the project. |
| Need to ensure functional engineering organizations are aware of project direction, improvements and understand what their role will be in the future (i.e. feedback from discussion with Electrical - Sandra Skinner). |
| Need to ensure functional engineering organizations are aware of the product. |
Supportability, Maintainability | |
| Airbus feedback indicated low satisfaction with Planisware's support post deployment. Slow response with continued negotiations to resolve issues, along with no commitment on release dates. |
| Planisware is scheduled to launch a BI Module in early 2012. Need to determine what functionality will be available with new Module and determine what capabilities can wait. |
Testing and Quality Assurance | |
| Planisware Current Database Training Setup is done in Oracle 10 version. For Load testing in SQL DB server need to install Planisware Component in SQL server. |

Scope changes will be managed through a formal change management process. When a change is identified a Request for Scope Change will be completed and submitted to the Project Manager. The Project Manager will log and track the change in the Project Scope Change log and then review all requests with the Project Sponsor(s). It will be their responsibility to 'accept' the change and assign an individual(s) to investigate the impact, or to 'reject' or 'defer' the change.
The Project Sponsor(s) will 'approve' all Scope Changes. Changes to the original Project Charter will be documented in the Project Charter Addendum by the Project Manager and approved by the Project Sponsor(s).
Scope changes will be reviewed with the Project Sponsor on a weekly basis and will also be reviewed with the Project Team during the Weekly Project Status Review Meetings.
Any member of the Project Management Organization and the Project Team may identify a Project Issue to the Project Manager. It will then be the responsibility of the Project Manager, and when applicable, the Project Sponsor(s) to validate the issue and determine its Severity. It will then be their responsibility to assign an individual(s) to investigate and recommend a solution, and subsequently to assign an individual(s) to resolve. Once accepted as an issue, the Project Manager will be responsible for logging and tracking issues in the Project Issues log.
Issues will be reviewed with the Project Sponsor(s) on a bi-weekly basis and will also be reviewed by the Project Team during the Weekly Status Review Meetings.
It will be the responsibility of the Project Manager to identify and manage the project risks with assistance, where appropriate, by the Project Sponsor(s). All project risks will be documented in the Project Risk Management Log.
The Project Manager will report immediately to the Project Sponsor(s), in writing, changes to the status of High Risk items. These would include conditions where the Mitigation Strategy is not working, an existing Risk has changed to a 'high' Severity, or a new 'high' Severity Risk is identified.
Risks will be re-evaluated as part of the Project Review process, or in the event of a change, to the Project Management Organization.
The Project Manager will be responsible for ensuring that the project adheres to process standards, which will ensure high-quality, timely completion, as well as, compliance with Corporate standards, including infrastructure and security. The projects will follow IT Quality Standards, which include the completion of independent Quality Reviews at major project milestones. The results of the reviews will be reported to the Sponsor as they occur
The Project Manager will be responsible for developing and communicating detailed plans for implementing and transitioning project deliverables to customers and support functions. Those plans will be made available to the Sponsor(s) at Final Charter Review.
Status Reviews
The Project Manager will conduct weekly Project Review Meetings with the Project Team. The Project Manager will be responsible for setting the agenda, preparing the items for review, conducting the meeting and documenting the results. During these meetings project schedule and milestones, risk, scope changes, issues and budget will be reviewed. Progress on assigned action items will be reported.
Project Reviews
The Project Manager will conduct bi-weekly Review Meetings with the Project Sponsor(s). The Project Manager will be responsible for setting the agenda, preparing the items for review, conducting the meeting and documenting the results with support from Business Lead and Core Team. During these meetings project schedule and milestones, risks, scope changes, issues and budget will be reviewed. Overall health will be assessed and project continuation will be approved.
Other Communications
The Project Manager will develop a Complete Communications Plan and make that plan available to the Sponsor at Charter signing.
