The leading theories of the project management are the theory of execution and theory of control. The project has uncounted the dispatching task for the Chinook choppers management under Boyd. The assumption that Boyd and his supervision team were the bikes will be in good state at the time of the delivery. Actually, overconfidence overwhelms the management. They did not set up the room for high risk in their project. The time of authorization was very critical and it needs much of the time for a practical test of the bikes before putting up the assumptions. The task was well planned, understood completed in accordance to the set plan once there was an authorization from Chinook choppers management (Koskela & Lauri, 2010). There is as well the theory of control which comes from the fact that the Chinook choppers project management had set the control mechanism for the processes in the management. Boyd and his supervisors we set for the conceptualization. The whole management needs critical control. For the success of the project, James and Carl were the topmost lead mechanics to ensure that there room for the experienced personnel in the management. In this case, the management of the project was given the supervision under the Boyd. This critical theory is very important in this project since in every bike delivered needed attention so that it can be delivered in very good condition. The project set the standard of operation by imposing the units of operations. In this case, the unit was the two personnel Boyd, James, and Carl (Baadsgaard & Jesper, 2011).
The principle applied in this theory was a possible variance existing between the measured values and standard applied for the correction of the time which elapsed before the delivery of the bikes. The delivery of the bikes was measured under the standard flow type but they did not consider the breakdown effects which cost them setback at the end of the management. The terms were in the measure of the aggressive form and therefore through the theory, it was to be corrected through the control availability (Ballard & Howell, 2018. The main hypotheses of the undertaking administration are the hypothesis of execution and hypothesis of control. The venture has uncounted the dispatching assignment for the Chinook choppers administration under Boyd. The presumption that Boyd and his supervision group were the bicycles will be in great state at the season of the conveyance. In reality, carelessness overpowers the administration. They didn’t set up space for high hazard in their task. The season of approval was extremely basic and it requires a great part of the ideal opportunity for a pragmatic trial of the bicycles previously set up the presumptions. The errand was all around arranged, comprehended finished in understanding the set arrangement once there was an approval from Chinook choppers administration. There is also the hypothesis of control which comes in the way that the Chinook choppers venture administration had set the control instrument for the procedures in the administration (Brennan, 2016). Boyd and his chiefs we set for the conceptualization. The entire administration needs basic control. For the achievement of the task, James and Carl were the best most lead mechanics to guarantee that there space for the accomplished workforce in the administration. For this situation, the administration of the task was given the supervision under the Boyd. This basic hypothesis is imperative in this venture since each bicycle conveyed required consideration so it can be conveyed in great condition. The task set the standard of activity through forcing the units of tasks. For this situation, the unit was the two workforces Boyd, James, and Carl (Helgadóttir, 2008). The rule connected in this hypothesis was a conceivable difference existing between the deliberate qualities and standard connected for the adjustment of the time which passes before the conveyance of the bicycles. The conveyance of the bicycles was estimated under the standard stream compose yet they didn’t consider the separate impacts which cost them mishap toward the finish of the administration. The terms were in the measure of the forceful shape and subsequently, through the hypothesis, it was to be redressed through the control accessibility.
I would recommend theory of control for assessment of McDonald’s entity. McDonald’s focus on fast moving food in America just the same as Chinook choppers and therefore there is a great need for that application of the control theory for the activities to be well run. Just as with any other project, it is run over management and therefore the tight management is supposed to be done all through. The control management for the restaurant is entitled to the operation to be well carried by Richard and Maurine (Turner, 2013). Just as the Chinook choppers, Maurice McDonald and Richard have the restaurants under their management just as James and Carl lead the mechanic management in the supervision of Boyd in Chinook choppers. The restaurant is the biggest restaurant approximately serving 69+ millions of customers over more than 100 countries, there should be good management of the project for their success. It is therefore recommended that they give the application of the control Theory in project management to make sure that everything is totally under the management and in good condition. Through the theory influence, there should be room for the failure and the set strategies to avoid any delay or backside of the restaurant just as it happened in the Chinook choppers to find that there was bike having breakdown almost towards the day of delivery. This can be avoided by making sure every part and the activity of the restaurant is under very maximum control simply because they are serving a large population which may need services under different specification and time. The McDonald’s is becoming the global project and therefore its management should be given a high level of the control.
The management should come up with more of the expansion and technological advancement with the help of the theory of control. Each step of development made by the McDonald’s should give room for risks and therefore the goals are supposed to be redesigned especially in the case of the coffee shop instead of focusing in only stark backs. In this case, I will recommend three levels of control for the project. In the lowest level possible, every team member is supposed to have reported the impediments to the progress of the activities in the McDonald’s. It is, therefore, the task of the management to have the impediments eliminated. The next level goes to the control of each food serving mechanisms. The management team is supposed to be present for the clients and servers. The progress is supposed to be prepared for the achievement of the planning process. The performance baseline should be as well put into the consideration by making sure that the cost and duration of the project are put in backlog. The last level is theoretical interpreted the uppermost level for the control is mainly based on the model of thermostat. In this case, the two levels of the McDonald’s are based on knowledge of creation and the uppermost level of control theory is based on time cost for the whole project. It is along these lines suggested that they give the use of the control Theory in venture administration to ensure that everything is absolutely under the administration and in great condition. Through the hypothesis impact, there ought to be space for the disappointment and the set systems to keep away from any postponement or descend into the sin of the eatery similarly as it occurred in the Chinook choppers to find that there was bicycle having breakdown nearly towards the day of conveyance. This can be kept away from by ensuring each part and the action of the eatery is under extremely greatest control essentially on the grounds that they are serving a vast populace which may require benefits under various determination and time (Gramado et al, 2012). The McDonald’s is turning into the worldwide venture and in this manner, it administration ought to be given the abnormal state of the control. The administration should think of a greater amount of the extension and innovative progression with the help of the hypothesis of control. Each progression of advancement made by the McDonald’s should give space for dangers and in this way, the objectives should be upgraded particularly on account of the café as opposed to centering in just unmistakable backs. For this situation, I will prescribe three levels of control for the venture. In the most reduced level conceivable, each colleague should have revealed the hindrances for the advance of the exercises in the McDonald’s. It is in this manner the assignment of the administration to have the obstacles dispensed with (Burke, 2013). The following level goes to the control of sustenance serving components. The administration group should be available for the customers and administration. The advance should be set up for the accomplishment of the arranging procedure. The execution standard ought to be also put into the thought by ensuring that the cost and span of the task are placed in excess. The last level is hypothetical translated the highest level for the control is for the most part in light of the model of the indoor regulator. For this situation, the two levels of the McDonald’s depend on information of creation and the highest level of control hypothesis depends on time cost for the entire venture.
The transactional and transformational theory in regard to the leadership in the project team leader will be evaluated on the basis of models of the operation for the project. This will be in much consideration of the flow and as well as the general consideration of the time in the project. Chinook choppers have the consideration of the variability for the customers on delivery of the bikes on time in consideration of the transformational theory (Koskela, Lauri & Howell, 2011). It is therefore under the application of the transformational theory for the planning approach of the project. There is an idea displayed by the transformational management regarding the organizing of ads in the application of the idea regarding the human forms of the activity. The planning of the management is supposed to rely its focus on structuring the surrounding of the purposeful contribution of the concerning the managerial execution. In the bases of the transactional theory, the project conceptualization should be two-way commitments for the focus of the deviation acting in the performance level of the perspectives. The transactional theory in the project manager will be on the aspects of the learning control for the complete Chinook choppers management. James and Carl give a new foundation for the project management radically. Both methods have emerged the practical responses for the conventional project. Chinook Choppers under transactional theory represents the comprehensive methods for the total prescription and substitutes for the failure of their services (Winograd & Flores, 2016). Being the project will a lot of the clients, it requires more of the attention from Boyd supervision in making sure that doctorate is in the success form for the provision of the support in competing for the theories. It makes a better foundation for the transactional theory as well as a central starting point in regard to the management as per organizing. It is very critical and important for the rejection of any given theoretical project related to the other thermostat models for the management planning purpose. There is a thought showed by the transformational administration with respect to the arranging advertisements in the utilization of the thought in regards to the human types of the action. The arranging of the administration should depend its attention on organizing the encompassing of the deliberate commitment of the concerning the administrative execution (Ballard & Glenn, 2010). In the bases of the value-based hypothesis, the undertaking conceptualization ought to be two route responsibilities for the focal point of the deviation acting in the execution level of the viewpoints. The value-based hypothesis in the venture administration will be on the parts of the learning control for the entire Chinook choppers administration. James and Carl give another establishment for the venture administration fundamentally. The two strategies have raised the viable reactions for the traditional venture (Shewhart, Walter & Deming, 2017). Chinook Choppers under value-based hypothesis speaks to the thorough techniques for the aggregate medicine and substitutes for the disappointment in their administrations. Being the ventures will a considerable measure of the customers, it requires a greater amount of the consideration from Boyd supervision in ensuring that doctorate is in the achievement shape for the arrangement of the help in contending the speculations. It improves an establishment for the value-based hypothesis and in addition focal beginning stage as to the administration according to arranging. It is exceptionally basic and essential for the dismissal of any given hypothetical undertaking identified with the other indoor regulator models for the administration arranging reason (Howell, Greg & Koskela, 2010).
In any given project, there are some traits supposed to be displayed by the team leader. The four of the traits are as follows.
Team management spirit-the team leader for any given project should have the spirit for the team lead. Just like the Boyd who is the team supervisor, he is very hopeful and does not fear of a risk in managing the Chinook choppers project. Actually, he is a fresh graduate but shows much of the zealous for any given challenge that may come on the way. The leader should be focused in the shortest way possible for the success of the project. It takes the leader’s commitment spirit for the success of the project. The team needs not to lead the teams from the strategic way of perspective but through the operational perspective. The leader should have the spirit of reconstruction of the strategic plans that are being flexible for in case. He is very debt in giving the directions and coordination to the other members of the project (Koskela, Lauri & Howell, 2012). This can be well achieved through delegating the task of the members within the management of the project for the purpose of solving the problem or any conflict within the milestone project. The leader should the need for evaluation of any given progress as well as the promotion of the work done by the other team members. He or she is focused on other members within the project.
The team leader should be in the capability of sharing a vision- The team leader in any given project should have the mindset for coming up with the vision in regard to the what they do or even articulate (Ballard & Glenn, 2015). The project team leader is supposed to have the skills in understanding or even visualizing the big picture associated with the project. It is therefore very effective for the vision which is associated with the help of the managers in ensuring that the team is well conversant with the role and contribution towards what they are aspiring to get in their project work.
Creativity- team leader should be very creative and should be in the position of making very solid decision regarding the operation of the project. Creativity is a very important aspect of any given project managers and leader. The project is in the look of the getting the new projects and growth of the sustainability just a long run. It is, therefore, the need of the project managers to have the promotion out of the box in thinking on what they should start stop or install. They are supposed to be very creative in seeing and controlling anything that can deviate them from achieving what they working towards. They should be in the position of seeing the biggest assets that they should go ahead in investment for the high-profit level benefit.
Communicative- The team leader for the project should be communication. It is not just communication but an effective communication. The leader keeps the information delivered to the right recipient using the right channel of communication. The leader gives room for the response regarding the information passed over the members of the project (Koskela & Lauri, 2016). The leader is not authoritative and commander but just shares the opinions through communication. He gives the members room for the suggestion and weighs out each member’s opinion. He or she in the top level in making sure that what is communicated is right and is supposed to be evaluated before implemented. The leader calls for the committees within the management board and discusses various issues concerning the project progress.
Professional behavior- In any given project, for instance, the Chinook choppers, there is a need for the professional behavior. It is about the thinking of what acts are propelling to the professionalism of the project. It is all about some steps to be kept in too much consideration as an implementation mechanism for the purpose of fulfilling the goals as well duties in the responsibility of the clients and customers in the associated company. The problem-solving responsibility and ethical is a core principle in professional behavior. It is more of the thinking on the challenges that may encounter the project in their operation and come up with ways to solve them if the same comes on the way (Washington et al, 2018).
Ethical behaviour-This is very important in any given project for the leaders to display. It is actually the core factor for the healthy and democratic running of the company. It is very essential for any given business and tends to have the capacity in demonstrating the key aspects of the moral principles which involve the fairness, equality, and dignity within the project. The ethical behavior gives the guidance to the management team of any of the project regarding the aspects of their lives and workplace contact. It is an affiliate of the workplace ethics. It gives the integrity value of the members of the project. Management team having ethics in their leadership will lead the business to a high level (Duncan, 2016).
Social appropriate behavior- This is very important in showing the level of competence for the project recognition interpretation and response to the social issues regarding the operations of the project. It is more of the social understanding of the various behaviors regarding the project in a temperamental way. It brings the social competence in for the purpose of recognition of any challenge facing the company or the project. This is the best aspect that coordinates the ruling and management of the project. It brings out the healthy interaction of the management team with other members for the opinions collection. The management team having the social interaction will have its company successful since every backfire will be effectively shared through social integration.
Cultural appropriate behavior- This is the behaviors which are possibly created by the influence of the local culture within the project management. Cultural behavior gives the description of the workplace on reactions towards the project connotation and important for the company goals and strategies. The local culture within the business gives the role of the business and the management team should be in a position to appreciate any culture within the workplace. It calls for the appropriate running of the management within any given company under the management team.
