Project Charter
Project Name
Example: Electric car System Development
Project Description
Example: This project covers the development automatic battery powered cars. It also covers a portion of the Battery system and major components that serve this system.
Business Case
Example: Earthmoving car production includes the development of this Electric car system. Lifetime development cost of these cars is projected to $500M over 5 years with $30M budgeted for 2009.
Opportunity Statement
Example: Todays Electric car System is very reliable & durable. However, its efficiency and performance can be greatly improved with the development of a new battery. This improvement will contribute greatly to Earthmoving market position.
Potential Benefits
Example: Y = Fuel efficiency & performance X1 = Machine level requirements X2 = Battery requirements X3 = Battery development budget X4 = Scalable Battery/ Electronic configuration X5 = Robust control system & Battery design X6 = Strict conformance to Earthmoving NPI process & Schedule
Other Goals
Meet cost targets
In Scope
Earthmovings Electric car System development Update Driver/ operator interface Needs 5000hrs of trials
Out of Scope
Changing existing interfaces if not necessary
Major Deliverables
3 Other machine platforms Functional Validation test center for future validation Validated Electronic and Electrical component systems Electronic Power control system
