The instructors of the project management courses at [Company X] have a favorite statistic: 70% of all projects fail. They fail because the project isn't feasible, leadership is weak, the organization does not support the project, or another unexpected difficulty manifests itself. About six months into my career at [Company X], I was assigned to a project that was destined to fail.
The team's goal was to increase productivity by combining two manufacturing lines into one. Combining the two lines would improve cycle time, lighten the work load for stockroom personnel, and ultimately reduce cost. My role on the team of five people was to perform time studies, purchase and set up new equipment, and provide general technical support for the move. The team was led by [Name X], a senior member of the Inventory Integrity Team.
