Formula SAE Vehicle Design Project Proposal_2

Formulae SAE VehicleIntroductionThe proposal helped identify important management approaches Formulae SAE teams require tore-engineer and improve vehicle safety and component performance levels. The proposalhighlights various aspects linked to the design, materials, and component which are used todevelop the vehicle prototypes. The proposal goes ahead to highlight the teams role towardsoptimizing, testing and reporting specific components of the Formulae SAE vehicles. The projectwill require internal team approval before progressing after which the teams shall be broken in ogroups specializing in individual’s components and parts. Each group’s individual proposaltowards the project and components customization will be evaluated to ensure it remains withinthe original vehicle blueprint plan and abides to the Formulae SAE regulations[ CITATIONMar112 \l 1033 ]. The progress report shall analyse different aspects linked to the planning,design, finalization, and sponsorship, development, testing and reporting Formulae SAEvehicles. It will also explore challenges encountered during the project and how the issues wereresolved.Management ConceptsThe Progress report focuses on highlighting the management concepts and approaches each teamwill require utilizing on their project so as to achieved success. Formulae SAE vehicles teammanagement and vehicles development will expose each of the team members to a wide verity ofmanagement concerns[ CITATION DrK101 \l 1033 ]. Important management concepts each teammembers and team lead would be exposed to during the projects include:Planning, Organizing, leading, controlling, commanding, coordinating, staffing, reporting, budgeting decision making, communicating and 2

Formulae SAE VehicleDirecting.Each of these management concepts and skills are critical towards every projects successfulimplementation and each of the Formulae SAE team must master these skills to develop asuccessful design.MethodThe project would see the implementation and use of management concepts by organizing roleslinked to overall planning as whole team and single unite. To achieve this I would take on therole of the project manager in which I would need to coordinate the over team and ensure themanagement concepts and activities are performance as per plan[ CITATION Cla12 \l 1033 ]. Thefirst stage would require the team to utilize team work management concerns such as Planning,Organizing, coordinating and communicating being practices by the team as a whole. This stagewould be undertaken during the initial planning each member will need to contribute towards theoverall vehicles design[ CITATION Ric12 \l 1033 ]. Once the overall design has been decided on theteam would be broke in to groups specializing and responsible for certain sections wherebymanagement concepts like Planning, staffing, budgeting, reporting and coordinating. Thereafterthe team leads will require utilizing leadership, controlling, commanding, reporting, decisionmaking and directing management concepts on the project so as to ensure the project meets theset time line and specifications set during the planning stage.Summary of ActivitiesPlanningThe Formulae SAE vehicle design and development would require being completed over a 6months period delivering just over 180 days to design, develop, and complete the vehicles for theendurance test and data collection. Funding for the project shall be primarily from sponsorshipsand donations which team members must gather for their individual project responsibility andcomponents. Surplus finances and materials shall be distributed towards other vehicles designaspects which will help reduce the financial and material burden on the overall team[ CITATIONJam10 \l 1033 ]. Teams shall be broken down into groups each focusing on an area of theirspecialization. They would be responsible for developing all components under their designation3
