3INTEGRATING CAPSTONE PROJECT
Background of the organization/ topic
The membership warehouse concept has been pioneered through discount merchandising
who have opened the first price club as well as converted airplane hangar. The price club lost
nearly $ 750,000 in the first year of operation. It had two stores and 900 employee as well as
nearly $1 million profit. The membership warehouse concept has been pioneered through the
discount mechanism and emerged as unchallenged leader in the warehouse retailing. It is
required to enhance store operations and keeping the operating costs and overhead low. In
addition, it is important to stocking the items that move rapidly. However, stakeholder
management is one of the major issues faced by the Costco Wholesale 2016, where it is
important to focus on the business model as well as strategy for the organization.
On the other hand, it is important to manage data for the stakeholder who has an
important role in the project (Boger et al. 2015). In the present study, the issues related to
managing stakeholders in Costco Wholesale have been discussed. Hence, developing a central
database would be helpful to manage the stakeholders so that the record can be kept properly. On
the contrary, it is difficult to develop the database for the stakeholders due to the lack of effective
project management plan and complexity in terms of using technology in the process of
implanting the plan. In this perspective, the study focuses proper analysis of the proposed plan
and develop an effective project management plan so that it would be successfully implemented
in the system.
