Riordan's main objective is to improve the sustainability of its products and processes. A separate but related component of this campaign is to improve sustainable practices in offices at each plant. Offices are being asked to support this effort by developing green programs, such as generating lower waste, improving energy efficiency, and carpooling.
Scope
o Restricted to offices at Riordan locations
o Does not include external activities
o Restricted to lowering office waste, improving energy efficiency or lowering energy usage, and reducing air pollutants
Deliverables
o Reduce solid office waste volume by 50%.
o Lower energy consumption by 10%.
o Increase carpooling to over 50% of the staff.
o Reduce disposable break room products by 75%.
Write an executive summary in which you describe the role of a project leader in creating a WBS. Explain strategies a project leader would use to interpret the project scope statement, conduct relevant research, and develop the WBS.
