C/OM/21. Operations management and project management analysis, Radisson Edwardian hotel group case.

In this paper the case study of Radisson Edwardian hotel group's project of the Sound Workshop, installing hard-disk based music systems and lighting schemes was taken into analysis in terms of operations management and project management. The difference between operations management and project management were evaluated. Microsoft Project software was applied to produce a Gantt Chart and a Network for the project in order to estimate the project resources, cost, time and the constraints available. Then, the received results have been examined in terms of the resources' constraints influence on the project and the benefits of the Microsoft Project software have been outlined. Next, recommendations to 'operationalise' the project once it is completed and future possibilities of improving the effectiveness of the operation through automation were given. Volume versus Variety issues relevant to the project was considered. Finally, the paper makes a summary and a concision of the work performed.
