Continuous Improvement Planning For Quota Park Shared Footpath

Continuous Improvement Plan Project: For the Quota Park Shared Footpath

Discuss about the Continuous Improvement Planning for Quota Park.

The essay depicts the continuous improvement planning that has been implemented for the Quota Park shared footpath. Based upon the construction and reengineering domain the Quota Park shared footpath has been implemented. The reconstructions of the footpath include bikeways, walkways with the consideration of local and federal safety regulations and policy. The major factors that have been considered during the reconstruction of the footpath include the plan for work safety. The project manager realized that the existing footpath operation is required to be changed after going through the tender document. In order to meet the requirement of the clients and for satisfy the consumers this changes are strictly needed to be implemented in the Quota park footpath construction.

 The footpath is required to be developed for making a walkway for the consumers. This project plan is about continuous improvement which means that according to the changing requirement or new demand of the consumers the project manager is bound to incorporate the changes throughout. The project improvement plan is consists of- identification of the changeable areas, team organization for the understanding of the process, potential improvement that could be incorporated and collection of data, analysis of the data. From the tender document, different technical and general issues have been identified. In order to mitigate those issues the continuous improvement plan project has been developed.

From the tender documents it has been found that the continuous improvement project for Quota park shared footpath provides not only walking but also space for cycling to the consumers. The ownership of the footpath are smoothly illustrated in this tender document. Besides the ownership the roles and responsibilities of the local consumers who use the park are also considered (Bryde, Broquetas &Volm 2013). In order to continue the improvement for the Quota park footpath the project manager should keep in mind about the relevant financial resources. By keeping the realistic report in mind the initially settled goal will be easier to reach or the project manager could achieve the infrastructure level easily. The local consumers are enhancing the ways required to offer their own assets that are required as free work (Verma, Pathak &Dixit 2014). The groups of consumers were decided to take the responsibility of park maintenance and also they are eager to give continuous idea for the improvement of the park.  The general guidelines of the Quota Park are dependent on the construction and reengineering domain. In case of configuration and in the additional phase of development of pathway faced certain principle issues in case of both construction and improvement arrangement and set out, enhance the surface of way and drainage of the water directly. In order to meet the requirement of the consumers it is necessary to bring sustainable changes in the construction planning. In the poor surface region, the footpath is constructed with stones. Thus, it can be said that, in the stone footpath construction, is also needed certain improvement criteria.

The first phase of the construction is the project initiation phase which is necessary to develop the project plan. In order to meet the requirement of the consumers and to accomplish the required changes it is necessary to follow the phases of project planning accurately (Fleming &Koppelman 2016). The planning phase is comprise of certain technology based issues, such as determination of the users of the footpath, determination of standard design principles, change in the newly developed plan, and resource estimation and the control and monitoring on the project phases. In this particular situation, the project manager needs to focus on the footpath construction improvement criteria and besides this they should also focus on the requirement of the consumers. The footpath users are referred to as a community which is much focused on the resources such as the labors (Mir & Pinnington 2014). In order to carry out the project plan efficiently the project planner is need to consider all the project planning phases and its relevant requirements. In order to carry out the project planning phase properly, it is necessary for the consumer to look into all the project planning phases. Not only this, but also but also the project technical assistant is also required to consult along with the consumers for conducting the project plan. The Quota park footpath plan can be successfully implemented with the help of the ideas of the consumers and of the project consultants. Before executing the project plan in the real world application a written agreement is needed to be developed by the project planner and by the contractors. The agreement should hold the roles and responsibilities of both the consultants and of the community or consumers also.

In order to implement the project plan successfully the community members are required to be identified accurately. All the members who are using the footpath should participate in the Quota park shared footpath development project. With the help of mapping activities the project can be completed and executed without any sort of error. In order to represent the components of the Quota park shared footpath, a blueprint has been prepared by the project planner (Hwang &Ng 2013). The people group gathering ought to draw a guide into the huge sheet of the paper, stamp the principle elements of the trail and after that gather any maps of the pathway from the region experts. Besides the functional and operational components of the footpath elements the users who will be using the pathway their details are also needed to be identified. Not only the walkers but also the details of the cyclers should be identified by the project development team members. From the specifically gathered data it is possible to develop the required design standards (Sears et al.  2015). It will waste the money and construction raw materials too if the project planner considers wide footpath for the walkers only. The project administrator must go though wide survey to look the number and also utilizes sort going along the way that is very much necessary. A components identified from the survey include number of clients who are using the footpath ever day, the origin of the users, kind of clients, child or the adults, male and female and the burden amount.

In addition to this, there is a continuous change plan is developed for the standard of the Quota Park Shared Footpath. After going through the survey it has been determined that for the continuous development of the footpath few changes or factors are required to be considered by the project manager and contractors as well (Wang, et al. 2015). The design components those are needed to be measured includes the footpath width, clearance over the pathway, slope and surfacing of the developed pathway. After considering the tender document of Quota Park Shared Footpath is has been found that based on the number of consumers of the footpath the width of the footpath should be considered. On the other hand, considering the numbers of clients clearance over the way for the cycle is 2.5m and one-path path width and in addition to that the two-route pathway for walkers is 1.0 m and 1.2m individually are also considered (Abrantes, Alves &Abrantes 2015). For the cyclers it has been considered that the radius of the oath is around 2.4. However, based on the type of the transports and the user types the footpath surface and gradients will also be considered respectively.

For the continuous improvement of the Quota path shared footpath the project manager is needed to done a technical survey also over the footpath region and over the consumers also. In order to identify the nature of the issues the project manager and the project team members should walk through the footpath. After considering all these factors the identified problems must be recorded and the based on the distance and gradients the measurements should be done (Kimura & Fukubayashi 2013). Not only the nature or details of the users but also the details of the soil type and raw material availability are also recorded. After recognizing the areas those are needed to be changed relevant or possible improvement methods should also be identified and for successful result that plan must be incorporated with the project planning phase. Within the tender document the project proposal is required to be prepared properly (Koutny &Miesenberger 2015). It will hold all the components such as the changeable ranges, resource estimation, constant maintenance, arrangement and configuration of project maintenance for successful execution of the project plan. In order to gain success in the project plan the project proposal must be carried out exactly in terms of input of resources, labors, raw materials and tools and equipments as well. The project guidelines are dependent upon the labor based construction and quality of the construction site.

The project director chooses to take after a portion of the development ventures to enhance into the arrangement. The initial step is set out the way, which includes of way arrangement required to furnish with great quality way with slightest measure of work (Walters &Lees 2013). A current way is taken after, yet there are a few situations when it is required to change the course. The middle line is set apart with the posts at 5-10m interims. At that point, the development width is measured for the recreation center. Also, it is clear and grubbing. Every one of the stones are expelled from the development width of the pathway and after that there is uncovering from underneath bramble stumps (Abrantes, Alves & Abrantes 2015). The third step is exhuming the level. The principle objective is to give a level base and additionally lessen the uncovering by adjusting load with the exhuming. The fourth step is stamping out and in addition uncovering the channels lastly it is arrangement of the attachment.

It has been found that the environment is also getting significantly impacted by the footpath construction thus; the project manager is needed to consider proper environmental practices, for the development and execution of the Quota park footpath development project.  (Koutny & Miesenberger 2015). The stream of water is needed to spread with the goal that it allows the stream rates and enable the water to soak in the ground of the construction site. The rate of soil erosion can be reduced with the help of the regular inspection. Plants with significant spreading roots can be planted to tie with the soil and to reduce the rate of soil erosion. These are required to be made before the planting (Biruk 2016). In order to make the plats more strong driven solidity of the wooden stakes into the ground are required to be used. It will help the plats to become stronger so that they could protect themselves from different natural disaster. In the continuous development plan for the Quota park footpath it is necessary to bring different construction strategies so that the security can be considered and the project manager can provide effective resultant or outcome to the consumers.

Add up to quality administration is utilized as an organized way to deal with development change into the Quota Park Shared Footpath extend arrange. It is utilized for enhancing the execution and give superb consumer loyalty all through ceaseless enhancements of procedures by association of every people. Client center is the principle element of the aggregate quality administration (Beza &Hernández-Garcia 2014). It furnishes with necessities of client, furnish with a system, culture and in addition condition to meet with the client's prerequisites. By ensuring that natures of each stage are great, minimization of expensive revamps and nature of the last items fulfill the last clients. In the change plan of the project arrange it is guaranteed that in the arrangement incorporates of senior staffs and in addition partners into the appraisal stage. After the change plan is created, input is taken from the customer to execute it (Koutny & Miesenberger 2015). The last usage of the change plan is done subsequent to getting endorsement from the senior administration and in addition criticism from the client.

The newly developed footpath construction plan is not only beneficial for the consumers such as walkers but also it provides high range profit to the traditional means of transports in terms of cycles. Depending upon the experiences of the consumers proper training and development programs should be incorporated in the project development plan.  In order to provide quality works the workers are have lack of technical knowledge. Special training is needed in case of stone lying, profile checking requires preparing etc. The regular errands into the construction and development plan are removal and in addition leveling, and because of absence of learning of utilizing these apparatuses, the specialists are obliging preparing to utilization of best devices (Walters &Lees 2013). For handling the tools by the workers properly it is necessary to drive training and development programs. At the end of the project development phase the training must be conducted for the workers and for the consumers also.

Conclusion

From the overall discussion it can be concluded that the required changes are brought into Quota Park shared footpath with the help of the continuous improvement plan project effectively. In order to meet the requirement of the consumer’s proper arrangement of the planning are required to be done by the project manager as well as by the project team members. While arranging the planning phase accurately different technical problems such as capacity determination, consumers of the shared footpath, the outline of the standard, work progress check up, estimation of the project resources and issues during the implementation of new plans have been defined. The newly developed rather improved shared footpath will incorporate changes in territories, resource estimation, and constant support, proper organization of meeting and accurate understanding of the tender requirement. The work has been efficiently completed after the contribution of the resources in terms of apparatus, workers etc. Not only this but also the main aim of the project is to develop a consumers focused footpath. From the essence of the developed plan it has been determined that, the continuous improvement project plan is successfully meeting the requirement of the consumers.
