Research On Progress Management And Risk Management Of XK'S YD Product

In accompany with the rapid progress of internet technology,easy-to-access internet becomes one of the basic supplies for daily life like water,electricity and gas.The internet has boosted the development of intelligent medicine.The YD project,which was initiated by XK company,is aiming at developing an intelligent medical device for rehabilitation treatment of hemiplegia patients caused by stroke or other nerve system injuries.The YD project involves much research work on motion capture algorithms and sensor techniques,and requires the cooperation of multiple departments such as R&D,purchasing,industry design,mold design,testing department,etc.The work load and schedule of these departments must be well managed so as to guarantee the progress of the whole project.As a result,it is critical to implement effective project progress management.In addition,risks such as the capability of project members,the change of market needs,and the gaps between customer requirements and product functions,cast impact on the project.Risk management is therefore required to improve the capability of the project members on dealing with these risks.During the progress of the project,the project is first divided into different phases based on the project management theory and the condition of XK company.The isolated phases are further divided into smaller units called activities.The Expert judgement and analogy estimation method is used to estimate the time requirement of each activity.With consideration of the overall project time table and the relationship between different activities,the project schedule is drafted and activities are ordered.In the meantime,the key path of the project is analyzed,and the key activities are extracted and to be optimized.For the activities that may require longer time such as testing,mold design and PCB assembly,they are implemented well in advance to guarantee the overall time schedule.In risk management aspect,the source of risk is first located and the severity is classified.The risk is identified by means of brain storming,cause-and-effect diagram,expert judgement and synthesis method.The risk list is finally drafted by using risk qualitative analysis method.The responses to the risks are also given in the list.A risk monitoring system is built to deal with the risks.As a summary,the application of project management theory and project management tools on YD project is reported in this thesis.And risks of the project are analyzed and dealt with by means of risk management theories.The practices reported in this thesis provide a reference for similar projects that are associated with R&D of intelligent and complicated medical devices.
