Manufacture memory chips which are of high-tech and have high-volume

Organisation A’s headquarter is located in the USA

The organisation is a medium size company. The number of employees works there ranges around 2100. Organisation A becomes popular in wafer manufacturing in quick times. The wafer manufacturing company serves clients all over the USA  

The organisation is a medium sized company. Organisation A mainly handles the small-scale projects. The management staff of the organisation can apply small-scale project management to handle all the small-scale project (Rosero et al. 2018). The projects and the development projects characterised by the factors like the short duration, small team, size of the budget, low person-hours, the balance between the time committed of delivering the project and the time committed to managing the project. Small-scale projects are common handled by large institutions

Wafer manufacturing and wafer fabrication is the procedure that comprises several sequential procedures to complete the electric as well as photonic circuits. Examples are the memory chips found in optical computer components and CPUs for computers. The main procedures associated with the circuit are- the electrical engineers design the circuit and design the functions. Later on, they specify the signals, inputs, outputs and the voltages required (Baruah 2015). These are the ones which are used for the computer-aided design.  This is utmost necessary for the layers to define for the photomask production. The circuits’ resolution enhances rapidly with every step of design. The wafers of Organisation A start out blank and pure. The circuits are all built in layers in the clean rooms. Initially, the photoresist patterns are photo masked in the micrometre detail onto the wafers’ surface. After that, the wafers are exposed to short-wave ultraviolet light, and the areas that are unexposed are etched away or cleaned.

The organisational structure of Organisation A consists of two sections-one is the Consumer Electronics, and another one is the IT and Mobile Communications. Under the Consumer Electronics comes the Visual Display Business, Digital Appliances Business, Printing Solutions Business, health and Medical Equipment Business (Refer to Appendix A). Under the IT and Mobile communications (IM), comes the networks business and the mobile communications business. Under the Device Solution (DS) comes the System LSI Business and the Memory Business. Advanced Institute of Technology and Corporate Management Office are the business operations come under the Organisation A.

The objective of Organisation A is to develop markets both in North and South America

The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) s the set of practices, and it facilitates the organisations to enhance the performance, key capabilities and the critical business procedures. All the organisations come up with certain capabilities. Organisation A too has certain capabilities. The organisation A can be able to find out the best practices and can find out the ones who are providing the higher performance (Puming and Prasad 2016). Organisation A does not follow the standard processes, assets and the job aids. The organisation has no established planning procedures. Organisation A also faces difficulties while making plans and make adjustments whenever required. The CMMI model can help the Organisation A to work on effectively. 

Organisation A can improvise their business operations by implementing a project methodology. The management staff must implement Prince2 or PMBOK since they are widely known and most used project methodologies in the world. Organisation A must appoint a business analyst. The business analyst will carry out the feasibility study. He will also carry out the risk analysis (Paetzold 2015). The project manager will analyse the risk report, and by the risk, the report will prepare a project plan. The project plan consists of the project activities that will be carried out. The project plan will demonstrate the start date of the project, the end date of the project, the total duration of the project. The project also contains the project dependencies. After that, the stakeholders will be assigned to the project activities.

Organisation A can implement the Prince2 methodology. The project stakeholders will have to follow the project methodology; they will have to carry out the project plan in accordance with the project methodology (Smit 2016). This will save a lot of time of Organisation A, and they can carry out the project activities with efficiency.

The employees currently working in Organisation A do not have the expertise and skills and the knowledge of Prince2. They are not used to the principles and governance principles (Murphy 2015). Organisation A will implement the Prince2 for the first time; the management time will require a lot of time to adopt the methodology. For this reason, they must follow the project manager and his team; they will assist them to continue with the plan.

There are several benefits associated with the adaptation of Prince2 model. They can be to work efficiently within time. The project stakeholders can be able to complete every activity on time and within the scheduled budget. The Prince2 methodology will help them to complete the entire project within the scheduled deadline. Hence there is less number of risks of project failure. Prince2 methodology thus can help them in the long run.

Organisational Change Management involves the tools which can be used to analyse how the scale change management activities (Smit 2016). The tools also help to know how the project manager and the business analyst can be able to bring the change.

Prosci ADKAR model can help Organisation A to implement the necessary changes required to enhance the business (Refer to Appendix D).

The project manager, as well as the stakeholders, is responsible for carrying out the necessary changes in the project. Prosci ADKAR model will help to maintain steady growth of the Organisation A.

Construction

Work on the European government infrastructure projects

Organisation B has two subsidiaries one is located in Paris, and the one is located in France

Organisation B is relatively small. There are only 300 employees who are currently working for the company. The Organisation B gains popularity in recent times in the field of the construction. They serve customers all over Paris and France   

Organisation B is a small company and has very few numbers of employees. Hey basically handle the small construction projects. That means they basically handle the small-scale projects. The management staff of Organisation B can be able to find out the small project. The small-scale projects are the projects which involve the small team, short-term duration, low person hours (Rajabi 2015). The small-scale projects are also dependent on the factors like the balance between the time committed to delivering the project and the time committed to maintain the project deliverables. Since Organisation B is a small company, so they handle all the small projects

They follow the BIM model. The Building Information Modelling (BIM) model is the digital presentation of the physical dependencies of a facility as well as the functional characteristics of a facility. BIM is a shared knowledge resource of the construction project during its entire life-cycle. BIM model helps Organisation B to construct buildings that are of high quality, safe, and in compliance with the sustainable environment. BIM assists in the decision making, and it shows results by comparing the functionality, scope as well as the costs of the construction concept (Wei 2014). The BIM also caters energy, environment as well as life cycle analysis for comparing the designs. BIM visualises the design solutions. BIM embellishes quality-assurance and the data exchange. The BIM also helps them in improving safety at the time of the construction. It enables the utilisation of the project and building of data in facility management.

Board of Directors governs the Organisation B. General Manager comes under Board of Directors. Project manager, H&R Director, Purchasing manager, Financial Director, Marketing Director comes to the General Manager. Section Chef, Civil Supervisor, Surveyor, Site Engineer, Documenter comes under the Project manager, Materials and the Necessities comes under the Purchasing Manager. Site Engineer, Planning Engineer, Cost Estimator, the Structural engineer works with the Engineer Manager, Personal, Insurance and Office Management work under the H&R Director (Refer to Appendix B). Cashier and Accountant work under Financial Director. Marketing, Sales and Advertisement work under Marketing Director.

Organisation B’s objective is to increase the infrastructure projects numbers based in Europe. The Director Of Organisation B wants to keep track of the project activities or any steps currently undertaken.

The construction, as well as the construction products, are very important for the European economy. Construction also represents the quality of citizens’ life, as they spend a lot of time in buildings and other built infrastructures. The workers working in the construction area wants to reduce risks related to construction, they also want to maintain harmony in the construction area (Kluy 2014). They also want to assure safety of the workers for this reason they have decided to set Eurocodes. Eurocodes is a set of European standards. The project manager will have to ensure that the Eurocodes are maintained appropriately during the time of performing project activities.

 It can be observed that Organisation B by implementing a suitable project methodology can be able to improvise the business operations of their premises. They require to hire a business analysis; he will carry out the feasibility study. It is the responsibility of the business analyst to carry out the risk analysis. The risk analysis will assist them to analyse the underlying risks within the project (Millard et al. 2016). After that, the project manager will prepare the project plan which will consist of all the project activities along with a timeline and the budget. The project plan will show the project dependencies as well.

The Organisation B will be benefitted following the guidelines and the policies of Prince2. The stakeholders need to carry out the project to accomplish the project successfully. Prince2 or any other popular project methodology must be followed (Vijay 2017). The stakeholders can be able to finish the project within the stipulated deadline and the budget with the help of Prince2. The project methodology comes with effective planning, financial reporting, accounting and performance of the project. 

Organisation B wants to enhance their business that is why they want to seek help from the project manager and the business analyst. They propose a project methodology. Prince2 adaptation can bring significant changes in the organisation (Chandramouli and Dutt2 016). The change management tools can help them to implement the new methodology.

Prosci ADKAR Model constitutes three phases. Phase 1 is preparing for change; phase 2 is the managing the change and Phase 3 constitute the reinforcement of change. Phase 1 can be subdivided into defining change management strategy, preparing change team, developing sponsorship model. Phase 2 can be subdivided into developing change management plans, taking suitable actions and implementation of plans (Refer to Appendix D). Phase 3 can be subdivided into collecting and analysing feedback, diagnosing necessary gaps and resistance, implementing corrective actions and celebrate successes. In this way, Organisation B can implement the changes.

The project stakeholders will carry on the continuous change of the project; it will confirm the steady growth of the progress of the project.

Finance

Organisation C is well-established company and a mature organisation. It is an eleven years old company

Organisation C is the located in Australia

Organisation C is a medium size company. Currently, around 80 employees work in the company. Organisation C is known to provide excellent financial services, and they are gaining prominence in recent times.

Organisation C is a medium sized company, and they generally manage the small-scale financial projects. In case of small-scale projects, the senior management applies small-scale project management. The small projects generally constitute the following parameters- small team, low-budget project, short duration, and low person hours (Ghafoor, Shah and Rashid 2017). Generally, the small projects constitute the balance between the balance between the time committed to delivering the project and the time committed to managing the project.

Organisation C is a criteria-based marketer system, and the system is easy and effective. The Organisation C develops a financial strategy for the company (Daeuble, Werner and Nuettgens 2015). The business analyst the business opportunity, after that they identify the business requirements, the business analyst conducts the feasibility test and will produce a report. The project manager and the business analyst must assess the report. The excel sheet, bar chart helps to know the financial progress.

VP and CFO are at the top of Organisation C. Under the Organisation C come to the Purchasing, Treasury and Investment, Sponsored Programs, Planning and Budget and the Controller. Under Purchasing comes the Purchasing Agent, Purchasing Coordinator and Purchasing Assistant. Under Controller comes the Financial services, Acc. And Financial Services Cashier, Payroll and Tax, Business Intelligence Specialist. Under Planning and Budget come Best Practices Initiative, Financial Analyst, and Senior Financial Analyst (Refer to Appendix C). Under the Sponsored programs comes Grant Accountant, coordinator. Under VP and CFO comes the Senior Administrative Assistant.

The objective of Organisation C is to develop markets in Australia

Australia government establishes the Regulator Performance Framework to analyse the performance of the regulators. The framework has been built on the regulatory burden that arises from the administration of regulation (Kaul 2014). The framework constitutes six key performance indicators, and they are- communication with the regular entities is distinct, efficient and targeted, monitoring approaches and compliance approaches are all streamlined as well as coordinated, the regulators contribute to the continuous regulatory frameworks’ improvement

It is seen that Organization C has been able to improvise business operations. This is to be done through implementing project methodologies. Here the management is needed to implement Prince2 or PMBOK. This is because they have been the most well known and most used project method in the current global scenario (Wals 2015). Further, organization C should be appointing business analysts, and they must carry out their feasibility study. Next, he must carry out risk analysis and the managers must examine risk reports, and they must create project plans by that. It has consisted of project activities that have been needed to be done. This should indicate starting to ending if the project. Furthermore, the project also comprises project dependencies.

Organization C can effectively deploy Prince 2 guidelines. Here, the stakeholders following project methodologies must be carrying out project plans according to project methods. Thus, it has been helpful to save lots of time and continue activities smoothly. Further, the employees working under Organization C never has the skills and knows ledges of Prince 2. Moreover, Organization C has been deploying Prince2 initially. Hence, the management time needs much time to adopt the method for their financial services. Due to this, they should follow project managers assisting in continuing the plan (Mustapha, Aigbavboa and Thwala 2018). Next, there have been various advantages in adapting the Prince2 model. Further, they have been working effectively under that time. Next, the project stakeholders have been able to finish all the activities in budget and time. Prince2 has been helpful to finish the project within the estimates time, and there are lesser possibilities of project failures for financial analysis. In this way, the Prince2 method has been helping in a long run. Thus the process has brought effective planning, budgeting, accounting, financial reporting and physical performance of the current project.

Organisation change for the Organisation C can be carried out using the Prosci ADKAR model. The model constitutes there phases (Babajide and Moore 2015). The three phases help to plan the change management activities, the activities plan to diagnose the gaps, and they also help in developing corrective actions (Refer to Appendix D). The phases also provide support to the supervisors as well as managers.

The continuous change conducted by the stakeholders will ensure the steady business growth of Organisation C.
