Fire Department
KMC Fire Department Project
Abstract
We are implementing videoconference to make our response time better as measured by our standard operating procedures, which is worth improving ability to save lives, property, and fuel. The implementation will cover 200 fire stations within the Department of Defense. We will discuss how Earned Value Management is used in this project in every phase.
Problem Statement:
Implementing videoconference technology will keep vehicles parked during nonemergency, which in return save on cost on fuel and allow the United States Air Force Fire Departments to meet the department emergency response time. These would save the taxpayers over $ 60,000 per year.
Boundaries & Constraints
The boundaries of this project are to execute the current change request management process and maintain the current standard operating procedures. Non-value steps will be removed and video technology will be added into the process. The software must have encryption capabilities in accordance to Department of Defense regulations.
Measurable Project Goals
1 Improve response capabilities by keeping vehicles in response area, and risk management by decreasing vehicle movement
2 Automate the system to eliminate non-value steps from the process, which will reduce the hours of non-emergency travel time a year
3 Improve the quality of communication by providing real time visual training objectives and 100% involvement from 200 remote locations.
Affected Functions and Business
The project will require leadership of the USAF Fire Departments to approve, efficiently use, and maintain.
Support Required
The Logitech B910 Webcam, with Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP. The B910 HD webcam has been certified for Microsoft Office Communicator.
Concepts of Earned Value Management.
