Project Charter

Requirements for satisfaction needs, wants, and expectations from stakeholders.

For this project we as a team have decided to create a warehouse for our company ABC College Merchandise to store our Pacific Northwest collegiate gear. Merchandise housed within the warehouse will include apparel from various colleges such as Portland State, University of Oregon, Oregon State and a number of other schools in the Northwest. Products include apparel, shoes and other fan gear. Below we have outlined the plan of action for the overall project.

The need for a warehouse like this is immeasurable. In 2020, ABC College Merchandise’s total revenue was $30M. The use of our warehouse would increase revenue by at least 10% in the first five years, aiming to exceed previous yearly revenues. Many schools sell merchandise throughout their campuses, and there is no centralized location for all of the merchandise to be stored. A centralized warehouse in Hillsboro, Oregon would give us an opportunity to reach all customers. Not just those who attend, but parents, faculty and overall college fans. Also taking into consideration that having our warehouse in this location, we will save money when it comes to modes of transportation.

To emphasize, we want this warehouse to help increase our revenue tremendously and we need it to be in a centralized location like Hillsboro to give us the best chance of getting our product to various markets.

This project will allow for ABC College Merchandise to have a centralized location for all of their college and university merchandise. Building a new warehouse on a 16 acre lot, would give us growth opportunities as a company because we can store more product. Although the proposed budget for the land is over a million dollars, we expect our revenue to increase by at least 3 million in the first 5 years. Overall, the expectations for this project is to make the purchasing process easier for all customers involved by getting them their product quicker. As well as increasing our overall profits.
