Inventory System Upgrade The project aims to develop a system whereby inventory maintenance would become easier, efficient and less time-consuming. This proposal includes a change in management practices, use of advanced technology and a system that would ensure minimum deterioration of facilities. Four school administrators will take part in the implementation of this plan. Out of them, the most experienced one is selected as project leader because only implementation and planning can be best handled by one specialist. "Whether an administrator or project management specialist, a single individual should provide the project leadership necessary to effectively manage the time, cost and quality of a project from inception to completion." (Gaydon, 2002)

Needs Assessment careful analysis and examination of school facilities reveal that inventory system needs to be completely revamped in order to avoid extra costs that are incurred every year on unexpected wear and tear of school facilities. It has been noticed that the main reason why school facilities have been deteriorating at a faster rate is the lack of supervision and faulty...

A new plan is therefore required in order to revamp inventory system and make it more efficient.
The inventory system in a school is responsible for keeping a record of the facilities inventory including building, labs, furniture, fixtures and all equipment and utilities. Without a proper plan for the maintenance of this record, administrators may overlook deteriorating facilities and this result in sudden breakdown of important facilities resulting in major overheads and unexpected costs. Any school would want to avoid this extra expenditure as it placed enormous burden on school funds, which could otherwise be used for other important purposes.

4. Project Objectives

Since this plan is extremely important to minimize deterioration and make inventory assessment and management process more efficient, its objectives should also be studied carefully. These objectives are:

Inventory assessment on regular basis

More efficient and accurate assessment of the exact condition of facilities

An estimate of costs to be incurred on annual or bi-annual…
