MECH 896 Winter 2015 Workshop 8: Scenario F Round 1 (rev1) MECH 896 Queen’s University MECH 896 Queen’s University Oral Presentation Template Project Report Template (Mar 24 and 26) (due Tues, Mar 24, 12:30pm) Posted on Assignment page MECH 896 Queen’s University MECH 896 Queen’s University Delphi Scenario F (multi, 15 wks, $50k, 85%) Simulation Workshop Senior management expects you to release a new printer that contains an advanced feature involving new technology (scope is multi). This new technology exists but it is in a nascent state and is still in flux. Your R&D team is working on refining it, but there’s still a lot you don’t know about it (need for prototyping warning). To make matters more complicated, you think your main competitor might also be working on incorporating this technology into their new offering (increase in scope warning), though your market intelligence on exactly what they’re doing is incomplete and probably unreliable. Schedule is tight on this project (15 weeks), since management would like to release the printer containing this advanced feature before the competition, but your budget is also substantially higher due to expected development complications ($50k). MECH 896: Week 6 (Mar 12) Scenario F: Round One Meeting Budget and Schedule 3 3 MECH 896 Queen’s University Scenario F, Round One – maximize score 4 4 Queen’s University MECH 896 Result after Week 1 For Mar 12, in 10 runs or less, maximize your score (and try to meet target cost). Everyone starts with Week 1 conditions. Scoring: scope=300, schedule=200, cost=400, process=100 Events 1) Car accident (wk7) 2) Technology failure (wk10) 3) More tasks (wk11) 4) Materials shortage (wk 14/15) 15 x $3,333 = $50k or $50k/200 = $250/task 5 1 MECH 896 Winter 2015 Workshop 8: Scenario F Round 1 (rev1) MECH 896 Queen’s University MECH 896 Queen’s University Scenario F: Round One - Scoring In written submission, include screen shot of your best run (and state the score, 496 in this case) 3 students got above 700 Max 744 Avg 666 Min 572 8 MECH 896 Queen’s University Scenario F: Round One - Cost 2 students got below $50k MECH 896 Queen’s University Scenario F: Round One - Schedule Max $80.7k Avg $61.9k Min $47.9k Max 23 Avg 17 Min 10 Target $50.0k 9 MECH 896 Queen’s University Highest Score Lowest Cost 10 MECH 896 Queen’s University Apoorv’s Strategy (744 highest, $47.9k lowest) 12 12 2 MECH 896 Winter 2015 Workshop 8: Scenario F Round 1 (rev1) MECH 896 Queen’s University 2nd Highest Score 2nd Lowest Cost MECH 896 Queen’s University Samta’s Strategy (714 as 2nd , $49.8k as 2nd) 14 14 Queen’s University MECH 896 Queen’s University MECH 896 Homework next week (Wed March 18 @ 11pm) 1) Resubmit H8, with enough detail in Adopted Response column of the table, such that a fellow student could reproduce the score of your submitted best run in H8. Different strategies, but same result ? 2) Write 1000 words (“word count” from Review tab in Word) a) lessons learned from simulation b) weaknesses in simulation (anything misleading ?) Formal template to be posted on March 17, along lines of: • • • • • How to stay on budget How to stay on schedule Team productivity and morale Contingency planning Relationships between all of the above 3
