This assignment is a report to the building process of Heathrow’s Terminal 5. The Terminal opened in 2008 and should improve the check-in process at the Terminal. Even though the opening and the budget matched the given requirements, there had been huge complications while the implication of the new Terminal.
Therefore, the planning structure and the risk management of the project is analysed. It came to conclusion that the scheduling of the project had been sufficient. The terminal was ready to open on time. While it is not possible to say in how far each task itself has been done without complication. The implementation was not successful. Even though time and budget were matching the requirements.The risk management of a project like Terminal 5 is very complicated. But it was decided that the opportunities were worth the risks. The opening of Terminal 5 had been complicated. Bags got lost and the Terminal needed to be closed on the opening day again. Preforming the building of that project, assumption had been made, new worker had been employed and the testing session had been made with a new simulation model. Furthermore, the whole bag-system was new. So there have many different roots for problems. In the end influencing factors had been underestimated/ not predicted, so that problems had been raised. Even though the implementation struggled the new system was still a success for Heathrow’s Terminal 5. More passengers can be handled in a shorter time and the effectiveness of the Terminal went up.
