Project: Planning and Creating a Major Public Hospital Facility in Outer Western Melbourne "WESTERN PREMIER MEDICAL CENTRE"

Background

Due to inadequate infrastructure and poor transport provision in the rapidly growing outer western suburbs of Melbourne, there is a growing need for a major public hospital complex to be located in the region. In the arc of Caroline Springs, Ravenhall, Williams Landing, Tarneit, Truganina and Williams Landing, residents are forced to travel to Sunshine, Werribee or Footscray or Geelong to find a maternity or general hospital. But public transport and even car access can be difficult, making dealing with medical emergencies problematic in these areas.

The Victorian Government has decided to plan the development of a major public hospital complex in this area, along the lines of the Monash Medical Centre, which serves Melbourne's south-east.

Stage 1 - Preliminary Planning Work - this Section must include the following:

Prepare:

• Method Statement - Outline the project methodology or technique for the project.
• Develop a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) and Organization Break Down Structure (OBS) and Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM).
• A list of tasks and work breakdown schedule for the project including activity durations
• One or more project Calendars, as appropriate
• A manual PDM diagram or a Gantt Chart
• A list of assumptions and exclusions used for the project.
• A list and cost of all resources (own and subcontracted).
• A budget and cost forecast as per the WBS.
• A risk register to identify and prioritize all identified risks associated with this project. This must include as the first risk a systemic risk1 that the project delivery organisation (from the Health Department down to the D&C Contractor) may not manage the project optimally, resulting in project delays and extra costs.

Stage 2 - Computerised Planning

Prepare the following by utilising project management software applications such as Primavera Project Planner P6, MS Project 2010 and RiskIntegrator2 Quantum (RI2Q).

1. A list of tasks and work breakdown schedule for the project including activity durations

2. A project Calendar

3. A PDM diagram and a Gantt Chart

4. A list and cost of all resources (own and subcontracted).

5. Various resource schedules in the form of Gantt Charts

6. A budget and cost forecast. Also develop an "S" curve using the Software

7. A Risk Project Settings Report in MS Word from RI2Q, including thresholds

8. A Risk Register Table Report in MS Word from RI2Q, ranked in descending order of probabilistic cost impact, followed by descending order of probabilistic schedule impact.

9. Appropriate software generated project reports to assist in the delivery of this project.

Provide a report detailing all computerised planning work. The report must be typed and submitted in a professional format.
