Engineering Project Management 99003
Topics: Quality, Safety & Maintenance
With the introduction of the 7th edition of the PMI Project Management Guide the focus has shifted more toward project outcomes than to deliverables which were outlined in the 10 Bodies of Knowledge present in the 6th Edition. Rather than prescribing particular techniques and methods the 7th edition allows for the application of many of the newer existing frameworks and methodologies that project managers and engineers can use to guide their projects. In line with this approach the 7th edition also discusses how to effectively tailor project management to your unique industry and customer.
This course will present how Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) is incorporated into project management framework. Both formal PM and APQP are critical techniques used in product development in the mobility industry today. This seminar will bring these techniques together in an easy to understand format that goes beyond the typical concept of constructing timelines and task assignments. The course will explore not only the Automotive APQP process, but also key aspects of PM processes with discussion of both the 10 Bodies of Knowledge of the 6th edition and the project outcome approach of the 7th edition.
Students will immediately apply learned skills by taking a sample project through all phases of the Project Plan using industry-based documents. Realistic issues, problems and time constraints are introduced throughout the exercise to stimulate actual project environment. Each exercise uses documents specific to the Mobility Industry such as various product development models, Statement of Requirements, Statement of Work, Work Breakdown Structure, timeline development and crash response, resource management, meeting effectiveness, and conflict resolution strategies. Major milestones of typical OEM APQP processes, to include PPAP, are also discussed. The exercise format is structured so that students must operate in teams and the time constraints allow students to see firsthand the effects of improper delegation of work assignments.
***Attendee must bring laptop for this course.***
Attendees will receive a copy of "PMBOK ® " Project Management Body of Knowledge by the Project Management Institute (PMI) and the book Project Management for Mobility Engineers: Principles and Case Studies by Angelo Mago.
Learning Objectives
By attending this seminar, you will be able to:
- Recognize the importance of the new focus of Process groups, Project Outcome Focus and Tailoring as it related to the previous PM standard
- Define the importance and key techniques of each of the ten (10) Bodies of Project Management Knowledge
- Define the essential components of APQP by Phase and the requirements of the PPAP process
- Recognize the minimum essential methodologies of both Robust Design (DFSS) used in Mobility today
- Properly evaluate and differentiate between Statement of Requirement, Statement of Work and Work Breakdown structures
- Explain the application of different timeline methodologies: Milestone, Gantt, and Network; PERT and Critical Path
- Utilize different types of meeting and conflict resolution strategies to formulate an effective meeting
- Be able to define the essential elements and differences between a Design Review and Phase Review
- Recognize the pitfalls common to most mobility projects due to improper or incomplete capture of the Voice of the Customer (VOC), current U.S. and international legislation and directives, improper management of limited resources, and others
- Beyond the Checklist! - Examine Advanced techniques for Risk Management
Who Should Attend
New Project Managers, Lead or Design Release Engineers, Account Managers and those requiring refresher training or desiring to learn how to properly apply more advanced project management techniques. Other individuals who are involved with projects such as functional managers and support staff will benefit by attending. The course is best suited for individuals in any of the mobility industry sectors such as automotive, truck, recreational, farming, and mining, to include DOD mobility contracts. Attendees should be familiar with how projects are currently managed in their company so they may ask questions relating to their specific problem areas.
