Here's how you can develop a project plan for automotive manufacturing.

The automotive project plan is mostly about execution strategy. What I suggest is: 1. First and foremost spend time on validating the need you're designing the plan for, and make sure people who support you are aware of the benefits and investments the execution will require; 2. Begin with the end in mind, be clear on the goals and vision of your project, and make sure that everything else will align with these; 3. Consider every variable that a project plan should have, but don't overplan from the get going, start with what is certain and clear at the moment and be ready to adapt once new things are learned, 4. Spend more time on testing and iterating on the product prototype, test the product/idea as early in the process as possible

Well, taking on an automotive manufacturing project isn't an easy task to say the least. You have to have a background in Engineering. You also need to understand entrepreneurship and the business landscape for your product. You can gather information about your product from research, observing competitors and one on one discussion with seasoned industry professionals. From an Engineering standpoint you need to design your automotive, Firstly, sketch out your idea, taking into consideration if its fit for purpose. That is, what task or need you want to fulfil using this product and is it the best design posible. Secondly, model your automotive using CAD software like solidworks. You need a competitive advantage. Why it is better.

Planejamento, planejar será fundamental para o sucesso no novo projeto. Escolher as metas que dever?o ser alcan?adas, as técnicas que ser?o aplicadas e definir um cronograma detalhado do processo.

With your computer aided design(CAD) software you should be able to define what materials to be used, optimize each part knowing how much material you need. Generate a bill off materials to determine the cost and carry out simulations to know if it will hold up in real life scenarios. Although nothing beats testing the parts for real after they have been produced. While designing you should also put into consideration the manufacturing process to be used and the cost of this processes. You will also need to build scale prototypes and test them out. Scaling it up to the final product. Prototypes are smaller version of the final product. Information gotten from these tests will help you redesign and finetune your finished product.

From the first two steps you should be able to determine all materials and process needed for the project. You also need to determine the human and financial resources needed to acomplish the project. Next, you create a budget detailing all these in its inventory determine the total cost. Now you need to consider how to raise finances for the project. Maybe from personal resources, friends and family, grants, loans or investors. Finally you need to create milestones with a timeline for the duration of the project and ensure to meet them strictly to avoid extra expenses.

When creating your timeline consider work life balance and the feasibility of each schedule task. Also create to compensate for minor set backs or corrections where necessary. Do not prioritise speed over progress.

The basics of a Project Plan will always remain same irrespective of the type of Project. One Needs to acquire the services of a relevant subject matter expert, who can create a customized Project plan / Scope of Work document. The SME will have to consider all internal and external factors and then define accordingly. As a minimum the SME will consider 1- Location 2- Long Lead Equipment 3- Access to site 4- Construction Sequence 5- Resources Availability 6- Utilities Availability 7- Logistic Arrangements 8- Project Execution Strategy 9- Site Safety Requirements 10- Quality Management System 11- Reporting System 12- Stakeholder Engagement Matrix 13- Risk Management Plan 14- Human Resource Management Plan .............etc
