Introduction:   Module Three

 

Fly By Night Inc. is growing rapidly.  Because of this growth, two departments - the Operations department and your department, Operations Systems & Support (herein “OSS”), have both outgrown their spaces.

 

The CEO, Maryanna VanDhyke, has given her approval to authorize the Operations department to move to the 5th floor of the building which was recently vacated by another company.  She has also authorized OSS to move into Operations old space which is double the size OSS has now.  The old OSS space will, of course, be used for storage of old office equipment.  Because both departments report to the CEO, she has charged OSS with complete responsibility for the move.  She wants the move to happen simultaneously so that no other groups grab the vacant space.

 

OSS has been notified that the move will begin in 6 weeks and, because of your expertise in moving computer equipment, that OSS is in charge of planning and executing the move and responsible for successfully completing this move without snags by the deadline.  Here are the requirements:

 

v  Get the new floor ready to accept 35 workstations and 3 printers

v  All workstations’ PCs and printers must be on the network

v  Operations has 30 PCs and needs 5 new PCs are to be purchased and set-up by the deadline

v  All 30 existing PCs need to be upgraded from Windows ME to Windows XP and the 5 new PCs must also use Windows XP

v  All 35 PCs will need to have their Internet Explorer service packs upgraded.

v  All 35 PCs will now need to have Microsoft Project loaded since everyone now wants to do project management (except for this move!).

 

v  Operations has 5 new people starting on Tuesday after the move.

v  OSS has hired 4 new people to start on Tuesday after the move.

v  OSS may order the new PCs,

v  The 3 printers are all different (1 color laser jet, 1 b&w daisy wheel, 1 linefeed printer)

v  OSS has 4 existing workstations with PCs and will buy 4 more PCs so that 4 more workstations will be added to OSS.  OSS has 2 printers.

 

v  The move is to take place at the end of week 6 starting on a Friday.  It is also a 3-day weekend, so the CIO wants OSS to complete the move for everyone in 4 days!  On Friday, the Operations staff will pack the stuff in their drawers into boxes and move them to the location indicated for them.  The PIB will do a walk-through with the CEO at 8 a.m. on Tuesday morning to show him how successfully “he planned and executed his plan” for this move.

v  OSS has complete power to:

o   Contact and oversee facilities  to:

§  Get the new Operations space ready (but the specifications/ floor plan must come from OSS in agreement with Operations management).

§  Get the new OSS space ready (providing the specifications/ floor plan).

§  Perform the moving tasks (desks and cabinets) for both Operations and OSS, but each group must be supervised by an OSS person.  However, moving PCs and Printers to the correct user’s location and hooking them up must be done by OSS.

§  Perform the phone line change-overs.  By the way, everyone wants to keep their same phone extension.

v  Hmmm, who’s going to order those new workstations for the new Operations and new OSS people?

v  Hmmm, will all the new people in Operations and OSS have phones to use on Tuesday?

v  Because OSS is a group of planners and doers, everything will be documented so that absolutely nothing goes wrong with this move.  They are so extraordinary that they even have a contingency plan for some of the things that could possibly go wrong.
