32
Q

Key Points 32

A

There are three main tools that the project manager uses: 1) training, 2) software, and 3) determination.

33
Q

Key Points 33

A

The four basic stages of a project are: 1) project feasibility, 2) project development, 3) project execution, and 4) project closeout.

34
Q

Key Points 34

A

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) defines the activities for the project life cycle and captures all portions of the work. It includes all deliverables and life cycle phases.

35
Q

Key Points 35

A

The Change Review Board (CRB) acts as a clearinghouse for project changes. The CRB provides formal evaluation of requests, assessments of feasibility, and notification of all necessary parties.

36
Q

Key Points 36

A

Small changes in a project’s scope (scope creep) can lead to bigger problems down the road. It is important to: 1) balance controls, 2) revisit the scope definition and 3) develop change requests.

37
Q

Key Points 37

A

The project manager wants to prevent management from losing interest in the project or borrowing needed resources for another project. Some ways to avoid these pitfalls are by revalidating sponsorship of the project and improving the communications of successes.

38
Q

Key Points 38

A

Steps to improve enthusiasm among team members are to 1) reinforce the project objectives and support, 2) observe leadership style, 3) assess the team selected, and 4) reinforce coordination of activities.

39
Q

Key Points 39

A

A project should not be closed-out until 100 percent of the project has been completed. Once the project is closed-out, the final step in the project is to disband the project team.

40
Q

Physical Protection Systems (PPS)

A

systems that combine people, equipment, and procedures to protect against the theft, destruction, malicious use, and sabotage of assets

41
Q

An integrated PPS incorporates three major elements:

A
  • Architectural elements are site layout, barriers, locks, lighting, space design, etc.
  • Operational elements are staffing, policies and procedures, emergency response, etc.
  • Security system elements are access control systems, surveillance equipment, intrusion detection systems, etc.
42
Q

PPS elements can be further classified into three types of measures:

A

Preventative Measures
Corrective Measures
Detective Measures

43
Q

Preventative Measures

A

These measures are designed to reduce, deter, or deny the effects of an attack. Examples include barriers, locks, CCTV systems, security policy, and site procedures.

44
Q

Corrective Measures

A

These are measures that provide the most efficient response to an attack. The goal with a corrective response is to neutralize the attack and restore the operation back to normal.

45
Q

Detective Measures

A

These measures should detect and assess attacks and should include CCTV systems, intrusion detection systems, communications, and investigations. Typically, detection measures will initiate a corrective response or other preventative security countermeasures.

46
Q

Five Steps to Ensure Properly Installed System

A 
Assess and plan
Create a conceptual design solution
Complete any construction documentation
Build the system and negotiate
Install the system, test it, and turn over if necessary
47
Q

Six Phases during the PPS life cycle:

A
  • Planning
  • Design and estimation
  • Procurement
  • nstallation, operation, and training
  • Commissioning and warranty
  • Maintenance, evaluation, and replacement
48
Q

A
  • Ensure that selected solutions will mitigate specific vulnerabilities.
  • Provide a cost-benefit for each solution.
  • Identify people, equipment, and procedures required for each selected solution.
  • Provide the foundation for a complete specification that will be used to procure and implement the solutions.
51
Q

Phase one planning deliverables include:

A 
Risk assessment report
Procurement method to be used
Budgetary estimate of the overall cost of the measure
Project manager selection
Project team selection
Design criteria
Contracting and legal requirements
52
Q

PPS implementation phase two - design and estimating

A

This involves documenting the entire process to better support the procurement of equipment and services. It includes the bidder’s instructions, contact information, specifications, statement of work, drawings, and equipment schedules. In addition, it will include budgetary estimates, preliminary design estimates, final design estimates, and life cycle costs.

53
Q

Phase Two Specifications

A

A successful design incorporates 1) architectural aspects, 2) security systems and 3) operational aspects. The most significant factor, when it comes to security design, is the architectural aspect.

54
Q

Plan Drawings

A

Plan drawings show a top-down, map like view of the area indicating the location of security devices.

55
Q

Elevation Drawings

A

Elevation drawings are views of vertical surface drawings and illustrate mounting heights of devices (wall mounted devices).

56
Q

Detail Drawings

A

Detail drawings explain elements of the system in more detail such as mounting specifications and cable terminations.

57
Q

Riser Diagrams

A

Riser diagrams are representations of complete subsystems that are very important because they illustrate the layout of all devices and their relationship with one another.

58
Q

Hardware Schedules

A

Hardware schedules are tables of related security devices that include information about doors, data, and CCTV. Specifically, these schedules list the location of all panels, cameras, and other devices such as card readers.

59
Q

Three elements in a model specification:

A

General -Authority and responsibilities, a summary, objectives, specifications, interfaces and codes/regulations, customer supplied materials, bonds and insurance, and warranty and maintenance
Product -Equipment lists, type of equipment, specifications to be met
Execution -Site preparation, quality controls, coordination, special equipment, testing and commissioning, as-built drawings, training, programming, and upgrades

60
Q

PPS implementation phase three – procurement

A

Procurement is the third phase of the PPS cycle that usually begins when it is determined that a new security system is needed. The formation of a procurement committee is the next step

61
Q

Three major types of procurement methods:

A

Request for Proposal (RFP)
Invitation for Bids (IFB)
Sole Sourcing (SS)

62
Q

Invitation for Bids (IFB)

A

In an IFB, which is also often referred to as a Request for Quotation (RFQ), the organization offers its own PPS design and is seeking the lowest price on materials and installation. Unlike the latter two procurement methods, an IFB procurement process provides the supplier with documents detailing a specific system to bid on. The vendor responds with only the product and installation costs. For an IFB to be successful, the customer must have its own PPS system designs produced internally. Advantages to using this method are short time frames for completion and a more simplified process. But, unfortunately, the tradeoff for a more simplified process is an increase in upfront costs for the organization. Typically, the qualified bidder with the lowest pricing will receive the contract award using the IFB method.

63
Q

RFP

A

The most costly and time-consuming procurement method is an RFP. Agencies of the U.S. government were among the first organizations to use the RFP process. The RFP method usually will offer the best price, quality, experience, and scheduling. In an RFP process the customer, not the vendor, provides specific requirements of the systems. Then, chosen vendors provide a proposal based on that information. The most common elements found in the vendors’ proposal are a detailed document with clear instructions about the various systems, installation methods, and cost breakdowns. If an RFP is 20 to 30 pages in length, then it is anticipated that the responding vendors will send a 40- to 60-page proposal. While this procurement seems to be the fairest strategy it is the most time consuming—often taking 18 to 24 months to develop—and very costly to administer.

64
Q

Sole Source(SS)

A

Sole source bidding usually requires the integrator to be knowledgeable about the needs, system, and prices associated with the project. Sole source procurement is when one chooses to use only one vendor. These projects are not put out to bid, but rather awarded based upon the integrators knowledge about the various systems and their respective requirements. Sole sourcing is typically used for smaller projects and upgrades to existing systems. There are advantages and disadvantages to using this procurement method. Benefits include short timelines for project completion and simple plans. The disadvantages are increased regulation and difficulty in gaining approval. Many companies have policies that regulate sole source bidding based upon dollar value limitations.

65
Q

PPS implementation phase four - installation, operation and training

A

Phase Four consists of site preparation, installation of the system and subsystems, and accepting and commissioning the system. This phase also includes training on the operation for everyone who is involved in operating or maintaining the system as well as training the applicable people on the systems.

66
Q

Possible Issues with Training

A 
Quality of training staff
Time schedules
Personnel involved
Location of site
Training costs
Follow-up capability
67
Q

Deliverables from Phase Four

A 
Training syllabus and manuals
Agendas, schedules, and class evaluations
As-built drawings
Operating procedures
System documents (narrative description of the components, expansion capabilities, ancillary functions, limitations, routine maintenance requirements, instructions for testing the system, and a service directory)
Response procedures
All testing results
Punch list
Project completion certificate
68
Q

PPS implementation phase five - commissioning and warranty

A

Commissioning of the system is the process of ensuring that all systems are designed, installed, tested, and operated according to the operational requirements of the customer. A Commissioning Plan details how the organization wants the system installed and commissioned. It may also state how to upgrade the system at the end-of-life cycle for the equipment.

69
Q

Phase Five Tests

A

Pre-delivery or Factory Acceptance Testing(FAT)
Site Acceptance Testing(SAT)
Operational Reliability Test(OAT) or Avalibility Test
Post-Implementation Test

70
Q

Pre-delivery or Factory Acceptance Testing(FAT)

A

Factory acceptance testing falls to the vendor or manufacturer, who is responsible for testing components and the integrated system prior to installation. Such testing can reduce the amount of installation time while onsite and should reduce the potential for non-operable components being shipped for installation.

71
Q

Site Acceptance Testing(SAT)

A

Site acceptance testing is completed after installation and usually approximately two weeks prior to turnover. Each subsystem is tested as well as the entire system to ensure all performance criteria and functional system requirements have been met.

72
Q

Operational Reliability Test(OAT) or Avalibility Test

A

Phase I testing is 24 hours a day for 15 days, no repairs are made unless authorized by the customer, and requires written permission to proceed to Phase II testing. Phase II testing is 24 hours a day for 15 days and no repairs should be made unless authorized by the customer. All tests can be restarted by the customer if any part of the system fails during testing. The contractor should provide one contact person to be available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week during both testing phases.

73
Q

Post-Implementation Test

A

Post-implementation tests are completed after the implementation. They include:

Operational tests
Performance tests
Post-maintenance tests
Limited scope tests
Subsystem tests
Evaluation tests
74
Q

PPS implementation phase six - maintenance, evaluation and replacement

A

The final phase in implementation is the Maintenance, Evaluation, and Replacement Phase. This phase involves preventative and remedial maintenance, documenting service records, spare part requirements, and the analysis of equipment replacement.

75
Q

Phase Six Deliverables

A 
Troubleshooting guides and reports
Maintenance procedures and records
Upgrades
Operating costs
Replacement studies
