The aim of this unit is to provide an in-depth understanding of project integration and procurement management to meet stakeholder objectives. Students explore the principle of integrating the major elements of project management to control projects from charter to closure. The emphasis is the development, monitoring and control of projects in support of both project and organisational value. Procurement management focuses on that part of the project's scope of work or materials that will be bought from another organisation, either as a result of company alliance arrangements, or most often resulting from contracting or subcontracting. Purchased work packages undertaken by another firm must be well defined and managed with great care, or disputes, claims, and project delays will arise, impacting cost, schedule, and ultimately project success. As many projects require the procurement of materials, the imperatives of supply chain management are explored. Project procurement creates a legal relationship and thus there is an understanding requirement of the basics of contract law.
Unit was previously coded MAN5405
On completion of this unit students should be able to:
On-campus students attend a weekly three hour lecture/seminar involving formal lectures, group activities and focused discussions. An executive mode version may also be offered from time to time, based on four full day workshops, generally offered on Saturdays and/or Sundays. The unit will be taught through an interactive lecture process, whereby students will be asked to answer questions, and the ensuing discussion will lead the learning and teaching. The use of cases, study aids, and quizzes will enhance student learning. The Internet will be a key resource for students, and they will use Blackboard to access updates, articles, and other unit-related material. Students studying in off campus mode will access the program via Blackboard and regular on line access is required. Students need to be actively engaged in the unit by reading the required materials and following the study guide. Regular on line access is required.
