...began construction in January 2006. Unfortunately, the project was suffering with problems from the beginning; Fluor defeated all the obstacles which included Hurricane Katrina, frequent seismic activity, rising material and labor costs, and the lack of skilled labor. The main reason for the lack of labor was because it is hard to retain labors due to the location and duration of the project. Flour used to overcome two of their major problems while working on the power plant project. In order to overcome the lack of skilled labor in the area a project management training that has been for the project managers and the support staff of the project manager only was created for the new hire workers.

Conclusion F. References Abstract In July 2004, Fluor Corporation was awarded a $533 million contract to plan, develop, construct, and bring online a new 242-megawatt coal plant for mining operations in Dunphy, Nevada. The customer, Newmont Nevada Energy Investment Ltd., sought to eliminate the power costs associated with the local energy grid, which accounted for 25% of the mine’s total operational costs. After years of planning and team building, unforeseen obstacles presented themselves, threatening to slow or even halt the project. Nonetheless, the project leaders remained vigilant and proceeded to overcome the setbacks, resulting in a successful rollout of the new energy plant, which was completed 10 weeks ahead of schedule. This early delivery translated to nearly $25 million in savings. The new energy plant has an availability of greater than 99% uptime, also exceeding the customer requirement of 94%. Pictured above is the new 242-megawatt coal-fired power plant...

Answer- The scope of the project will make the job of managing scope and scope changes throughout the project easier. It will also reduce the chances of ‘scope creep’ and misunderstandings about the goals of the project. The definition of project scope also forms the basis for establishing a formal agreement with the client about what the project will deliver and when it will deliver agreed outcomes. Q2. Define stakeholders? What role do stakeholders play in the project management? Answer- A person, group or organization that has interest or concern in an organization. Stakeholders can affect or be affected by the organization's actions, objectives and policies. Some examples of key stakeholders are creditors, directors, employees, government (and its agencies), owners (shareholders), suppliers, unions, and the community from which the business draws its resources.

...Quality Management Assessment Summary HCS/451 Health Care Quality Management and Outcomes Analysis Quality Management Quality management is a systematic and continuous process that organizations use to deliver products and services that meet or exceed customer expectations. Quality management in healthcare has evolved over the years to address increased demands from consumers related to the quality of care and services, as well as to address problems in patients’ outcomes. The medical field tends to use quality management to focus on patient and staff safety, reducing medical errors, and avoiding or decreasing morbidity and mortality rates.

Quality management requires top management commitment and a flow down through all other employees of the organization. It is a planned, organized, and systematic approach to the improvement, monitoring, and analysis of an organization’s performance. Purpose The purpose of quality management is to help organizations improve their performance by eliminating poor quality of service rather than by trying to fix the results after the service has already been given.
