Amazon, in at Woolloongabba, Queensland. Woolloongabba is comprises of a cricket ground,
hospital and necessary transports facilities also. However, due to the frequently growing

(Source: Corbato et al. 2018, pp-110)
Amazon is world’s one of the largest E-commerce based company which has successful
operational and functional abilities. Not only from the E-commerce aspect but also for logistics,
payments, hardware, data storage and media Amazon is very famous. The business decisions
developed by the executives for the company are developed based on Flywheel philosophy.
According to the flywheel decision Amazon can encapsulate the dual ambitions comprises of
conquering the commercial world and consumer obsessed (Sharbatoghlie and Sepehri 2015). The
company its journey in the year of 1997 and it never has to look behind, till 2015 the net income
of the company has exceeded $140 Billion. Amazon has the biggest shopping history to the
consumers and its income rate increases per year.
Amazon is one of the most well-known logistic companies which include around 180
warehouses about 28 sorting centers and also about 59 local delivery stations. The facility and
operation management approach used by Amazon helps it to gain effective success and wide
market revenue throughout. Over 2 cores product are available for Amazon (Robinson, et al.
2015). The business of Amazon is widening everyday thus an accurate warehouse should be
developed by the company so that it can operate in Woolloongabba also. In order to develop the
project a schedule, risk management approach, procurement plan, communication management,
stakeholder management plan are developed and demonstrated in this report. It is expected that
in order to construct the warehouse for increasing the commercial profit, these components
should be maintained accordingly.

For the manufacturers there were always intense level pressures for increasing the
productivity at a lower cost. It has been found that, for managing storage, distribution and
procurement with increased rate of productivity and production workflow the best way is to
design a warehouse (Schwalbe 2015). This particular proposed project is absolutely justified due
to the following criteria:
 It gives production level support
 It expands the business opportunities
 Packing and processing become easier
 It helps to spot stocking
 Gives financial profit with a price stabilization
 Minimized the business level risks and provides high security to the data storage
2. Ideas generated for the project
Woolloongabba is a located in Brisbane but consumer who belongs to that location is
unable to get the service of Amazon like other countries. In order to give similar opportunities to
the consumers by delivering desired products with quality ant time, this particular project is
proposed.
2.1 Identification of the way through which these were addresses and screened
relative to the consumers need and organizational goal
It is expected that with the implementation of the project the bunch of issues facing by
the company will be completely minimized. The modern design of warehouse provides many
