...1. What criteria would you recommend USP use in selecting its projects this year? The criteria I would recommend USP in selecting its projects this year would be the initial cost, how much would production increase, decrease lead-time, is the project a necessity (silk screen or inkjet printer). 2. Based on your recommended criteria, what projects would you recommend USP fund this year? Are there any types of projects you would recommend USP pursue that were not proposed? If USP would invest $700,000, I would recommend USP to pursue the purchase of inkjet printers because they have a lower initial cost, the productivity will be the same as the new silk screen printer and it is a necessity. They will also be able to add more printers if needed to increase production in the future for $23,500. The payback will be less than one year compared to the silk screen. The four-color positives project would cut lead time to the process in place. With a cost of $175,000 and reoccurring cost of $375 each job. Pursue the ISO 9000 project in order to get processes standardized and then being able to go global. Then there are still some resources to get the ink mixing procedure less specialized. Possible projects that were not proposed could be digital printing or what new processes are being used now in the industry. 3. What, if any, additional information would you want in making your recommendations? How would you go about obtaining this information? How important...

As far as I concerned managing a project is a complex task which consists of number of phases and it is a non-repetitive process which has a beginning and an end. Various different tools can be used in this process and these tools will help to measure accomplishments, progress and project tasks. Project management help to reduce the risk of failure and increase the chance of success.it also help to overcome problems and to address the challenges which may arise throughout the life cycle of the project.by applying project management activities, the project it will become flexible and will be able to adapt to possible changes that may occur in the future and will achieve higher performance and probability of higher success.

For examples we can consider Information Technology, Engineering and Architecture, Manufacturing, Software Development and banking among many others.

When employed into a humanitarian organization, it is requested that such organization is extended into Iraq to help in the nation’s innovation struggle. Before the start of the project, there are three subjects that need to be examined. It is expected that part of the planning procedures is the existence of different ethnocentric tests.

...The management of water in the West’s arid landscape has also been central to artistic endeavors, especially with the creation and destruction of large-scale dam projects. Dorothea Lange was a photographer who created a photoessay called Death of a Valley, in which she depicts an abandoned valley in California soon to be filled as large reservoir. The Monticello Dam, meant to provide infrastructure such as electricity and water for Bay Area suburbs, agribusiness, and defense installations, would soon create the artificial Lake Berryessa, erasing the agricultural lands and life that once existed in the valley. Bob H. Reinhardt, Professor of History at Carnegie Mellon, writes about the destruction of the Western small town in the early Cold War era, where “those who stayed took moderate paths...
