Week 13

Title: Work plan of the project
Date: 3/5/2012

Objective:

• To do the project planning
• To identified what must do to finish the project
• To make sure the project run according to plan

Content:

The time frame allocated for this research study is 10 months. It will start in January 2012 and is projected to be completed in October 2012. The Gantt chart for the project and its milestone are shown as in Table 1.

Practically, reliability is often more difficult to specify than many major performance characteristics and is certainly more difficult than most to measure. The accurate assessment of the reliability of a product in use is often difficult because of the long period needed or the large number of samples required in order to gain statistical confidence in the assessment. In reliability estimation, the failure rate models are approximations to reality. The failure rate models are normally based on the best field data that could be obtained for a wide variety of parts and systems. This data is then analysed, with many simplifying assumptions applied, to create usable models. Thus, one should not treat a reliability estimation numbers for the system as an absolute prediction of field failure rate. Generally, it has been agreed that these estimations can be very useful when used for relative comparison, such as comparing design alternatives, or comparing products.

Prototype of automatic car lock/unlock system for data centre application will be built to enables the community to visualise the impact and application of the proposed methods in determining the best solutions in solar tracking design with respect to reliability and cost. This prototype will be presented in the FYP Presentation Day.

Project Gantt Chart

First Semester

Second Semester

Analysis:

From the gantt chart, the first semester I concentrate on the research. Within the second semester I will start on buying until finishing the project. 

Conclusion:

With this work plan that I have prepared, hope this project will run as plan and no problem while doing it. This is the importance on preparing the work plan, to make sure the project run as planned.
