1. Develop a set of relevant and achievable goals appropriate for the project described in
the Case Study. How your goals will be measured as the project progresses.
Being the project manager, the responsibility is to bring the Western Australian (WA) oil storage
facility up to the standard and in order to achieve this, a number of goals need to be ascertained
and mandated throughout the company. The statistics of the project and the site shows that
almost 30% of the company’s unloaded storage capacity in at the verge of getting collapsed.
Goal 1: The project engineer needs to monitor the storage tanks and implement renovation
policies immediately1
Goal 2: The Company needs to employ new policies by which environmental leakage can be
reduced to the least possible extent
Goal 3: The Company need to reconsider the loading of oil tanks by removable vehicles and
need to implement construction of underground pipelines by which the oil can be loaded on to
the tanks which will eventually eliminate the risk of any accidents2
The three distinctive goals can be measured and monitored as and when the implication of every
respective goal get sanctioned and carried forward and after the mitigation of every loophole, it
can be administered that the respective goal has been achieved. The company needs to monitor
the progress of the works being undertaken in accordance to the goals and the progress needs to
be relayed to the project management office periodically.
