INTRODUCTION
Critical evaluation of a model i.e. Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is going to be
presented in this individual report. Along with this, report has also showed the overall learning
which was being gained by the implementation of model in case of Sainsbury's.
MAIN BODY
The model that has been considered in present report i.e. WBS, which I think can be
taken as an effective model that consists with different stages and these are: Project initiation and
planning, Project implementation, and Project monitoring and Project evaluation and closing.
These are the different stages that WBS has considered by Sainsbury's and from this, what I have
learnt is that, every single stage plays a crucial role when a business organisation is looking
forward to expand its business at international level.
First stage is where, points like Identifying new opportunities, Identify requirements,
Research and Management meeting are the one that might help firm in looking into the countries
or areas that are beneficial for the company for business expansion. I have learnt from these
sections is that identifying a particular opportunity might aid Sainsbury's in meeting the new
goals and i.e. business expansion. On the other side, I have identified that management meeting
could help Sainsbury's in reducing all the risk numbers and it might also help firm in reaching to
new heights as well. Away with this, I also analysed that research might aid project manager in
hitting all the targets that might aid firm in meeting its final or desired goal.
What I have learnt from project implementation stage it is very critical phase and
manager need to analyse how effectively the blue print can be designed for developing a project,
because pre plan is mandatory for allocating and efficiently utilising each resource so that
business could have huge growth target market. I also learnt that it is necessary that there should
be a separate warehouse for storing quality raw materials for utilising them, when the work
actually implemented. My learning from deep analysis was with use of new technologies will
reduce time as well as cost of the organisations. As time and considered to be prime factor while
implementing the project. Also the training session should be given to each workforce, so that
they can work effectively as a unit. The use of work break down structure model is very helpful
in dividing the huge work in small section to skilled labours, so that work can be completed on
time. I also learnt that some wrong decision taken by supervisor resulted in increment of
conflicts between workforces. These conflicts arose due to lack of communication from line
