CASE STUDIES IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS

Another Trojan Horse
Stevan Jovanovic

I
...
The transition from an operating company
to a project management company could result in difficulty when a person has spent their entire
career focusing on project execution
...

Solution: They looked for the latest project management techniques and undergone four - day
training regarding Scope Management, Cost Management, Time Management, and Risk
Management to be equipped upon the execution of the plan
...


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

John Lackey received an award for Best Project Management of Utility Plant in the United States
in 2000 since the Trojan Nuclear Plant, was formally shut down in 1996
...
However, it needs to be at least relocated since the plant was
near a city that could cause harm to the people living within and near the area
...

Thus, it would require a carefully planned project whereas every tiny detail must be calculated,
studied, and revised to increase the percentage of success of the project before it could be executed
...
John and his company have
undergone a four-day training course to ensure that they are equipped to complete the project
...
One of the projects was
the elimination of the central reactor which includes relocating the entire reactor hundreds of miles
from the plant location
...
Fortunately, they succeeded in safely lifting the reactor and placing it at its final
destination
...
Thus, the team
and the company had made their spot on the pages of project management history

BRIEF HISTORY

States in 2000 since the Trojan Nuclear Plant, was formally shut down in 1996

...
However, it still needs to undergo

decommissioning since it was an essential part of the plant lifecycle
...
Thus, the area of the
plant must be scrutinized properly to make an efficient plan for it
...

Meanwhile, decommissioning a nuclear reactor would require a carefully planned project
whereas every tiny detail must be calculated, studied, and revised to increase the percentage of
success of the project before it could be executed
...
Since nuclear power has always been hot in the eyes of the public, and that
includes Trojan even in its days of operation, John and his company did not like to tarnish their
name thus they ensure that they are very much prepared
...
Now equipped with tools and
concepts required for the work ahead, they felt ready for any size project
...

Although the transition from an operating company to a project management company may
not sound challenging, there can be a difficulty when a person has spent their entire career
focusing on project execution
...

On a project this complex, however, skimping on project management could be disastrous
...
One of the
projects was the elimination of the central reactor which includes relocating the entire reactor
hundreds of miles from the plant location
...
The reactor removal was the biggest and most complicated whereas the safest
way to eradicate the reactor was in one piece
...

The project was the peak of the team’s project management use
...
They managed every detail of the move and the move
was a success

EXTERNAL Opportunities
- The entire decommissioning
project had many “first”
...


V
...

- Change in mindset from
operating company to a
project management company
...

- No historical information
upon which to rely
...

- Nuclear material stays for
very long periods, for
thousands of years
...
Hence, I would just recommend them to keep up to date regarding
the techniques and methodologies that could be applied especially in this kind of project and they
could create risk matrixes for better comprehension of the possibilities during the project
