Heathrow close-5Heathrow Terminal-5 Case StudyExecutive SummaryHeathrow aerodrome has been in operation since 1946 and is the UKs largest transmitport and the worlds busiest international drome, carrying over 60 million passengers and 1.3 million stacks of cargo each year. Terminal 5 when constructed give be able to handle 30 million passengers per year, taking Heathrows total number of passengers to around 90 million.Heathrow Terminal 5 is the most multifaceted construction frames in Europe with level-headed procurement and Supply Chain Management strategies in place. It is a multidisciplinary have consisting of civil, mechanical, electrical systems, communicatings and technology take upors over the entire class of the bulge.The project is aimed at making Heathrow chief(prenominal)tain its competitive position indoors Europe, retain its passenger latentity and also subjoin it by 30% over the next 10 years this project when carried out will make Heathrow one the worl ds busiest airport and a major source of income for the UK economy. It is estimated that the project will apostrophize 4.2B and have a payback period of 8 years.Since construction projects atomic number 18 prone to pretends associate to Environmental, legal and Supply Chain issues, the main aim is to maintain a synergistic relationship amongst each(prenominal) the stakeholders of the project with an effective communication dodging in place and to hire external consultants having expertness related to environmental (material run a risk, waste management, air quality, dust, noise and separates) and legal aspects of the project. This helps in a smooth flow of the project coping with Environmental and legal well-worns set by the UK (Europe). This also favours in preserving the interests of local communities during the construction of this Terminal (Execution Phase).Some of the main multifarious challenges which are complicated in the project phases would be* Exhaustive Plannin g activities* Earth do drubs (Archaeology)* State of the Art design of the infra organize (Buildings)* Twin river diversion* Rail and Road infrastructure projects.The main elements under T5 project includes construction of the Main Terminal building, 2 Satellite Terminals, Aircraft stands, an Air Traffic Control Tower, connections to Public Transport, Road meets, Rails and Tunnels.The success of this project also depends on the lessons learnt from the next two stages* Lessons learnt prior to this project from different major construction projects* Lessons learnt during the execution (construction) stage of the project. at that placefore the project should be focuse on the first point than the second one and strive towards having minimal lessons learnt during the execution stage of the project. The main aim is to complete this project on time, within budget and with exceeding expectations of the quality from the customer.1. IntroductionBAA is the worlds leading International ai rport group, responsible for managing the multifaceted drome environment including safety and security, operation of air bridges, runways, environmental issues, shops and technical facilities, airport systems which includes IT, information/ help desks and others. It owns, develop and manage 9 International airdromes in total including Budapest (Hungary) and Naples (Italy).BAA serves more than cl million passengers at its seven UK airports, including the worlds busiest international airport, Heathrow. It is involved with management contracts/ stakes in ten airports outside the UK and also has got retail management contracts at two Airports in the USA. BAA established airport privatisation and retailing, and is recognised for its efficient airport operations.BAAs achievements have been emphasized by its sustained effort towards managing environment and other forces of aviation. It is also successful in maintaining a synergistic relationship amongst customers, employees and busines s partners in an efficient way. It constantly benchmarks itself against the demanding prolific standards of corporate roles and responsibilities.1.1 regard RationaleAs depict Rationale describes about the basic reason for the accomplishment of the project, the major issues which Heathrow airport is facing are the escalation in the number of passengers and this is causing an increase in the congestion at the current terminals of Heathrow, due to increase in congestion it is difficult to provide the world class customer support/services in effect to the passengers and the airlines.An increasing global competition from other International Airports in the European region akin inParis,AmsterdamandGermany proposed a threat to Heathrows revenues and position in aviation industry. There is a need to accommodate bigger curriculumes like Airbus A380 and the effective air merchandise observe system with the help of new Air traffic visualise condition tower.The above factor generates a need to expand the Heathrow airport for British Airport Authority (BAA) in the form of a new terminal named TERMINAL-5.2. explanationBritish Airport Authority is one among the leading airport operator in the aviation industry, to provide the best customer service was one among the objective. To populate the infallible improvement at Heathrow Feedbacks were collected by conducting a survey among the 70,000 passenger a year. The need of spectacular Heathrow Terminal-5 is to accommodate the increment of passengers without any congestion, break off customer service and infrastructure (Modes of rapture to be developed for both Rail and Road, Sixty new aircraft stands which tin adapt advanced and future aircraft like A380, Air traffic control tower to monitor it).2.1 ScopeThe Scope of the project is to provide the best customer service and quality to the passengers at Heathrow by creation of state of art new terminal building which help toaccommodate30million passengers equipped wi th the modern modes of transportation without any congestion.

The proposed standard form for Heathrow Terminal-5 Association of Project Management, which is been agreed and approved by the stakeholders for successfully achieving the Project. For example The tools and techniques required for the respective phasesTo have Heathrow Terminal-5 to be delivered successfully, British Airport Authority had come up with the introduction of T5 Agreement which is based on the commitment and involvement of both BAA and Stakeholders in achieving the deliverables while overcoming the occurrence of risk. By this agreement the BAA concentrates on the downstairs Focus on the managing the cause of problem not the effects f rom them. manoeuvre in integrated team disregarding of their different organizations. Focus on proactively managing the risk instead of avoiding the litigation.Effective agreement for HT-5 was achieved by using the Contract type NEC35.3 ControlTo overcome the uncertainty in a Project, flow of information should be addressed among the team members and respective authorities for controlling and monitoring. Find the proposed structure for Heathrow Terminal-5, Organization equipment failure structure, Work Breakdown Structure, Project Hierarchy structure, Gantt Chart in the appendix 1234456. Minutes of meeting played an vital role to monitor if any issues occurred.5.4 CommunicationAccording to pursue (2007) the compliment of good management communications is the provision of adequate feedback paths through and across the organization. These will facilitate cooperation and coordination.Communication can also be delimitate as transfer of valid information from an entity to another ,Purpose of a communication plan is to transfer of required information to the audience, associated with respect to those issue/updates/scenarios. Find the below communication flow among the Project team members for Heathrow Terminal-5, also find communication plan for find in the appendixCommunication PlanAn effective communication strategy as to be plotted by project manager to have a better understanding and coordination among the team members and good Communication strategy plays a vital role among the Team members/Stakeholders/Customers/Clients.The purpose of communication plan is to overcome the communication breakdown among the project team members and also helps in monitoring the Progress and Difficulties of the Project. Hence the need of communication plan for Heathrow terminal-5 was visualized on the basis of the activitys occurring and a definite completion of the task during the respective phases. The derived communication plan for Heathrow Termina-5 was structured on t he basis of the below activitiesPhaseWhoTypePurposeHowWhenWhomDeliverablesPhase Indicates in which phase the meeting is going to occur.Who who is going to conduct the meeting?Type Indicates the subject of the meeting.Purpose Indicates the topics to be discussed.How Mode of medium used for the meeting.When How much would the team members meet?Whom who are the participants involved during the meet?Deliverables The outcome during the word of honor for that meeting.Please find the communication Plan in the appendix 123456 Risk ManagementRisk management is the act or practice of traffic with risk. It includesplanningfor risk,identifyingrisks,analyzingrisks, developingrisk responsestrategies, andmonitoring and controlling risks to determine how they have changed ( Kerzner 2009)The objective of risk management is to identify the potential problems which may occur during the project life cycle, so that risk can be Controlled and Monitored throughout the Project life cycle. Risk managemen t is a constant change which as to be carried out throughout the project life cycle and its conducted in the planning phase. The combination of below process constitutes risk management* Risk Identification* Risk assessment* Risk MitigationRisk IdentificationThis process involves in identifying potential risk which affects the project, its further classified into Internal and External risk which affect the project in achieving the scope. Internal risks are the uncertainty which occurs by the organization or within the organization like communication and resources these can be controlled and monitored by the project manager. External risks are the uncertainty which affects the organization/project by the external factors like environmental and downfall in the economy these risks are uncontrollable by the organization which pretends the Scope. Keeping the above factors for Heathrow terminal-5 the below are identified and classified asRisk AssessmentThey are requested to evaluate the magnitude of risk factors and influencing factors that appear in the risk mode, also assist in classifying the risk. Considering these the risk assessment is done for Heathrow Terminal-5 Adverse PublicityAwareness of the Project to both the customers and stakeholders. EconomicFunding Issue throughout the Project Life Cycle, Uncertainty of the market (eg Market Fluctuation, Inflation), Insufficient revenues to repay the debts after the Project finis. EnvironmentalDiversion of two rivers round the west of the airport incorporating many ecological enhancements( eg Water Quality), Failure to compliance the standards for environmental act (Misunderstanding of process and pathways of the environment), Failure to meet the standard of air quality which defined onward the execution of the project, Failure to meet the standards defines in Control of Pollution Act Section 61 agreement, Improper waste management will increase the estimated budget( eg use of recycled product) Local CommunityM aking sure the social activity of the people surrounding the construction site will not affect (eg transportation, Traffic) PoliticalFailure to compliance the policies of the government (will affect the progress of Project), Change in Government could lead to change in foreign policies and affect the project procurementDelay of the services/materials from the Suppliers.Breaching the contract terms and conditions, due to illegal activity from Suppliers (Eg Information leakage) TechnologyFailure of techniques/technologies used in the project ( Eg IT System, Design, Data Management) Airport SecurityHT-5 being developed on such a large scale, proactive measures to be taken if any form of threat like Terrorist attack. Corporate GovernanceFailure of align in meeting the interests of individuals and corporations.Failure to meet the relationship between the participants (chief executive officer, management, shareholders, employees) of the project in determining the direction and performanc e of project. Communication PlanDelivering the required information to authorized people, also make sure there is no breakdown of communication between the two user interface ContractualUpdation of the latest clauses if any during the review meetings, poorly written/executed contracts there is a risk to the organizations assets, property and reputation. Unauthorized employees signing the contracts, due to non-compliance of contract by suppliers and other contractors. Approving the contracts that are unfavourable to the organization, creating and/or signing contracts without advice/review by legal counsel. Misplacing the approved contracts, having inefficient and inconsistent contract policies and process across the organization. Confidentiality to be maintained by the respective authorities who manage the contract ResourcesEnsuring proper flow of cash from the stakeholders throughout the life cycle, Risk of migration of skilful, resourceful, expertise employee of company to competi tive organization, improper usage of limited resources by unskilled employee. ScheduleRisk of overrun of the budget due to improper scheduling, Risk of Schedule Slip. This can cause a change in scope of project. CulturalRisk of differences in opinion. This leads to difficulty in negotiation between supplier and client, Risk of differences in business ethics leads to difficulty in decision making. DesignRisk of overseeing the specification, assumptions and requirement of the product during starting phase of design, Risk of including the extra cost due to complex design. Organizational IssuesAny issues with organization impact the progress and decrease in efficiency towards the project. Risk of losing the formed trust and good will from the client point, due to the organisational issues within the company.Risk MitigationThe purpose of risk mitigation is to specify the criticality and priority of risk, what are the effects of the risks, occurrence of the risks and impact of the risk to the organization/people/environment. Acts as tool to Control the risks, like action taken towards a particular risk by choosing the appropriate Avoid, throw and Mitigate, also provides that who is responsible for resolving the occurrence of the risk.A systematic reduction approach is being used for identifying the occurrence and/or exposure to a risk.On the above approach the Risk Mitigation has been plotted for Heathrow terminal-5, please find it in the Appendix 1234Risk MatrixThe purpose of risk matrix is to determine the level of risk (High, Medium and Low), resulting provides information to both Stakeholders/Organization to concentrate and mitigate the identified risk. The rating for the below is derived on the occurrence of probability and impact. A contingency plan is also derived to mitigate the risk, below is the proposed Probability-Impact matrix for Heathrow Terminal-5IMPACTRATING4,531,2HIGHMEDIUMLOW4,5HIGHSchedule, Communication Plan PROBABILITY3MEDIUMEconomic Procureme nt EnvironmentalResources Organizational Issues, Airport Security1,2LOWContractualLegal Issues, Technology, Corporate GovernanceDesign Political, Cultural, Adverse Publicity7 Work breakdown StructureAs per PMBOK 3rd Edition work breakdown structure is defined as A deliverable-oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables.The Purpose of Work breakdown structure in Heathrow Terminal-5, firstly it helps the project manager accurately in defining and organise the scope of the Project. This can be obtained by following the traditional method Hierarchical tree structure. At each level of tree structure breaks the Project deliverables and objectives to more specific and measurable packages/work packages. Secondly it helps in assigning roles and responsibilities, resource allocation to the Project. Also helps in monitoring and controlling the project throughout the Life Cycle, it h elps in estimating the cost, schedule and risk involved in the project for each work packages. Finally, make sure that the deliverables are specific has per the stakeholders and helps in identifying whether the deliverables are repetitive and overlapping. Please find the proposed work breakdown structure of Heathrow Terminal-5 which mainly focuses on Execution phase with a budget of 3120 million and 300 millionKept apart for the contingency which may occur during the Execution Phase, please find the Work Breakdown structure in the Appendix 1.237.1 Gantt mapThe founder of Gantt chart Henry Lawrence Gantt used this tool to show the actual schedule and progress of the project was invented on 1920s and used on large projects from 1931. Gantt chart key feature is that it focuses on overbearing approach rather than algorithm approach, Gantt chart is most effective form of graphical representation hence for Heathrow Trminal-5 such an tool helps you out in form your. Gantt charts provide quick and easily understood means for describing the project activities, while network activities can also be determined like Critical bridle-path and PERT. The activities/task may be listed in order of entry of Start date, Finish date, duration and Slack and appropriate to their graphical bars we can find the Start, Finish, duration and slack as well. Gantt chart are also used as project status report, it helps in the project manager in congregation the information have the deliverables met as per the baseline plan. The baseline plan includes both schedule and resources, whether project is schedule overrun, resource allocation and budget status.The purpose of Gantt chart for Heathrow Terminal-5 is to provide a visibility of estimated schedule and project status for the assigned deliverables/tasks throughout the project life cycle. Also find the derived Gantt chart for execution phase by the team in the appendix 1.24, which includes Critical path method and Milestones.Critical Pa th MethodCritical path can be defined as the chain of events whose flat is equal up to zero, those events which occur in this path are critical to the successful achievement of the project within its earlier possible time. The activities lying on the critical path must to be given Priority by the management and supply resources if required.Heathrow Terminal-5-Landside civil- Site preparation-Pipelines for heat and power- Structure-Shops and commercial facilities- Safety and security-Testing of runways and building-LandscapingMile stonesAs per Dobie (2007), project must be divided into measurable a package, that is actions which will contribute to the achievement of objectives. The project phase as combined related project activities to achieve a logical outcome like major deliverables these deliverables form the milestone throughout the lifecycle.Milestones are essential tools frequently used by project manager to control the progress of the project and manage the scope of the proje ct. Also compare the actual costs and progress experience with the costs and progress planned. The identified four major Milestones for Heathrow terminal-5 during the scheduling of execution phase Milestone 1 Completion of landside civil process. Milestone 2 Completion of Terminal 5 building.
