Project Charter
Purpose of the project
The purpose of the project is to address the e-commerce companies concerns regarding order management. E-commerce companies are continually under pressure to reduce the cost for delivering products hence with this project automation via robotics it will be ensured that project would significantly improve productivity and reduce cost for inventory management.
Project Organization
Project Sponsor. The sponsor for this project is the Vice President technology Brain Norton since he wants to research and develop a robotic system that can effectively address the situation for e-commerce industries providing them with enough leverage to tackle cost and meet the competition.

Project Manager. Brain Adams will be acting as the project manager since he has managed many research and development projects and is effective in solving creative problems.
Project Stakeholders
Project Requirements
The project will be requiring a floor plan along alongside an effective control system linked up with network. To make the process more effective and productive the project will require producing mobile robotic systems and chargers with pod selection, furthermore select a pick station and effectively replenish records. To automate the process installing conveyer belt is an effective option.
Standards- Project Charter
| Item Name | Standards |
| Conveyors and Equipment | Project will procure and install 24V Powered Roller Conveyor |
| Project will procure and install 24V Powered Spirals | |
| Project will procure and install 24V Pallet Conveyor | |
| Implement fully automated Tray Sleeving Systems | |
| Develop and Test Full Line of ABB Robots | |
| Control Systems | Implement Material Handling Control Systems at six sigma efficiency level |
| Continuously Improve Graphic Interface Software | |
| Scan, Weigh and Label Systems will uphold zero defect policy | |
| Support Standards | Perform prototyping and simulation modelling for problem |
| Conduct Training with high after training test results | |
| Compliance | Compliance will be accepted at 5% standard deviation from stated. |
| QA & QC | Quarterly Audits, Testing, and Inspection |
The standards are embedded on the rationale of no waste policy and the project will be following six-sigma methodology to ensure all wastes are controlled and the project is further improved to gain the desired outcome. Quality Assurance and Quality Control will be effectively applied to the project to ensure compliance. The standards are measured within a range defined as specification limit. The outputs complying with the standards will be accepted and other will be rejected or re-configured to meet the standard. Strong quality assurance culture will ensure that the product is produced right the very first time and there is no waste.
Risk Analysis
| Risk Name | Description | Stage | Risk Assessment | Response | ||
| Probability | Impact | Priority | ||||
| Scope Change | Project Sponsor changes the scope significantly and want to enforce changes without complete assessment | Any | .4 | .9 | .36 | Mitigation: Evaluate impact on triple constraints and only accept when specific adjustments to triple constraints are honoured |
| Technology goes Obsolete | The technology in robotics develop fast and if a new technology comes in market after procurement of existing | Execution | .5 | .6 | .30 | Mitigation, Contract will be done with vendor making him responsible for delivering latest content. If technology changes then vendor will swap the items at nominal rates. |
| HR is Sick | Personnel at point of duty goes sick and risk project delay. | Any | .8 | .6 | .48 | Mitigation, Keep Backup personnel. |
| Procurement Delays | Procured items are delayed then scheduled date | Execution | .9 | .8 | .72 | Mitigation, Strong contracts to penalise the service provider for every day delayed. |
| System Hardware and Software not Compatible | Hardware and software does not integrate together after installation | Execution | .5 | .9 | .45 | Pre technical feasibility and hardware and software compatibility tests would be scheduled for better results. |
