Scope MANAGEMENT

Our company inception was based on small and medium enterprises in nature which had made it possible for most multi million dollars organizational depend on us wholly as we provide them the best quality services which they cannot easy ascertain from larger organizations alike.

We can proudly say that our company is "to meet 100% client needs without issues" and this had earned us a lucrative reputation in the industry and had doubled our contracts.

The increment of our contract had triggered our company to enhance the existing infrastructures to achieve the incoming revenues judiciously or ease we die in the arm of competitors.

Presently we have the following in fractures:

Physical Infrastructures

6 story’s building

Security gadget (Cameras, physical security)

Future Plan:

PHysical Infrastructure improvement

As our main motive is to improve the existing infrastructure in the firm, we have gone through every documentation and physical setting and realized that most of the infrastructures had not been used to the fullest while orders needed to be upgrade. For example, we have six story’s building but we use 4 levels currently. We had decided to use the whole levels which we need to extend more services as mentioned above. We will also provide extra physical security features like biometric locks to the sensitive areas of our organization.

Space expansion: as we did mentioned that we have six story’s building and currently using only four levels but we have decided to make use of all the levels reason been that are going to employee more people which demand more space to accommodate them because we value our employees greatly and we deem it important to create conducive environments for them in they can impact positive on our company goals.

We also choice contractors wisely to avoid risks as we had stated on our risk management plan; we consider their charges and consider their work history because that will give us hint of their work history. And we had budgeted (specified in the budget plan) for all the building expansion and added some amount for cash on our contingency budget plan.

CCTV Camera: as organizations prepare to expand it present operations; threat and other securities issues seem to increase as well which is natural phenomena. We include purchase of more CCTV cameras to enhance our physical security activities and is among the physical security expenditure list. We shall also make the purchase by choosing manufacturers wisely based on quality assurance and longer time guarantee incase anything goes wrong along the line. We had budgeted (specified in the budget plan)for the gadget and installation cost (workmanship).

The installation will be done mostly on a hidden area in the company and we shall apply strict rules and regulations making sure that whoever that is responsible for monitoring the gadget will be accountable if anything goes wrong.

Security Guard: we will employee more personnel guards and these will be done my partner with security company; we shall sign a contract with them in duration of one year and in the contract it shall be state in a black and white that they will be responsible for all our physical securable in the company and reason why we have decided to outsource security is because we don’t have the required tools to scream applicant and we shall be covered by insurance if any goes as the security company will be responsible. We had also budget(specified in the budget plan) for the personnel guards and other related expenditures

Purchase of Cabinet: we had also planned to purchase more cabinet (seat) to accommodate our new employees and we have decided as well re-arrange the sitting position for security reasons. We have also included virtue environment plan in the project to enhance our employees’ abilities to work extensively at home and for us to achieve the idea; we shall purchase more movable devices such as Laptop and related devices. And incase of fire breakout, the employees can easily escape such disaster without any uneasy. We have allocated (specified in the budget plan) for the cabinet expenditures
