Signed_____________________________________________________________ Print Name and Surname ______________________________________________ Date_______________________________________________________________ Author: Alicia Peters 8106230071083 Executive Summary In this case study introduction is given to the manager of the Packard Electrical Division of General Motors who is handed over the task of opening a new manufacturing plant in Mexico in the interest of gaining good standing in the international markets. Jim is expected to restore an old warehouse and begin producing wiring harnesses and adhere to the NUMMI standards. Many of the operations are done on a hasty, adhoc basis and a team is brought in to teach management about requirements yet staff is not trained adequately before the project begins. The case study shows that none of the management had the required experience to run the plant, a deficiency in communication due to language barriers as well as a poorly equipped, dilapidated plant that had to be restored in a hasty manner. There is no indication that project management principals were implemented and therefore failure to comply and meet with requirements lead to huge capacities of waste of money, time and poor resource management.
