| Sampling Factors: |
Location (Not Relevant: All application and solutions development work is conducted at Shantou, China. Thus geographical location is not a differentiator for Technology Research and Development Department at Guangdong Hangyu Satellite Technology Co.,Ltd. and does not make any material difference to the way processes are applied by the OU.)
Customer: There are differences in the way processes are executed depending on whether the customer is external or internal to the organisation. The external or internal nature of the customer leads to some differences in processes, particularly affecting RD, REQM, PP, PMC, RSKM, MA and IPM process areas.
Size: There are differences in the way processes are executed depending on whether the basic unit (Project) is Large, Medium or Small size. The sizing construct is as below: 1) Large > 65 Man Months 2) Medium 15 Man Months – 65 Man Months 3) Small < 15=”” man=”” months.=”” the=”” difference=”” in=”” size=”” leads=”” to=”” some=”” differences=”” in=”” processes,=”” particularly=”” affecting=”” rd,=”” ts,=”” pi,=”” ver,=”” val,=”” pp,=”” pmc=”” and=”” ipm=”” process=””>
Organizational Structure (Not Relevant: A single management structure governs the OU and there are no multiple structures or any such structural complexities that may result in variations in the way processes are executed by the OU. Thus Organisational Structure is not a differentiator for the OU – Technology Research and Development Department and does not make any material difference to the way processes are applied to execute work.)
Type of Work (Not Relevant: All basic units involve software application and solutions development using the same QMS processes. All basic units follow waterfall methodology. Hence, type of work is not a differentiator and does not make a material difference to the way processes are applied by the OU – Technology Research and Development Department.) |
