Project organization structures

The project structure and the employees involved are contained in the so-called organigram. In Figure 4.2 an example of an organigram with pure project organization structure is depicted. 

Figure 3 below shows an example of the project organization structure of the DRMMP that was put in place in Mumbai. It reveals a flat nonhierarchical structure that puts emphasis on... 

The overall project itself requires formally structured planning and control in addition to the validation plans for the computerized operation. To provide this, a project and quality plan from the pharmaceutical manufacturer (or its nominated main contractor) is normally developed as a separate and complimentary document and needs to overview all activities, resources, standards, and procedures required for the project. The plan should define project-execution procedures, quality management procedures, engineering standards, project program, and project organization (with authorities and reporting responsibilities), and reference the project validation plan. There are instances in which the project and quality plan and the project validation plan can be combined into one document. 

This hierarchical structure facilitates communication and ensures that the required information can flow directly from one partner to another. These communications are particularly important to ensure timely information which is required across all levels of the project organization. Delay due to long-lasting information flow can be avoided. 

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE PROJECT ORGANIZATION AND THE WORK BREAKDOWN STRUCTURE... 

An important element of project monitoring and control is the organization that is put in place to support it. Typically the project-implementation structure consists of at least two entities the project steering committee and the project office. 

The Fraunhofer Institute for Production and Automation (IPA) has carried out more than 100 industrial projects in which it applied the principle of the fractal company to introduce semiautonomous organization structures coordinated by means of a common target system. More than 20 of... 

At this stage, questions of importance are, what is needed except to the processes, to practice systems engineering Which tools and methods are relevant, which organization structure and project management form are needed, how can SE be introduced in a company and which services should provide a platform for applying systems engineering ... 

SE is applied by many companies, but the question is to know to which extent, as well as the impact of the existing organization structure on the practice of SE. The organization stmctures of carmakers have been component-oriented for a long time. Thus, the technical departments mostly spreads across the departments chassis, powertrain, interieur/exterieur, electric/electronics etc. [51]. Additionally to the component oriented structure, the experience has shown that a program resp. product oriented structure is implemented. Thus, a matrix organization is established in most cases. Project teams are made up of specialists from the different components departments (e.g. powertrain). 

Standard project organization with clearly defined structure, roles, and responsibilities...
