Crane Construction
This project management scenario begins with your team being awarded a £250,000 contract to design and construct a Crane.
How It Works
This Crane has very strict specifications, and using only the building materials that you may purchase with your start-up capital, your team must develop and build the structure so as to secure as much profit from the contract as possible. Teams must use individuals strengths and weaknesses to successfully construct their crane using cost control, project management and financial precision. Teams must use the materials provide to design and build a crane which can hold the provided weight at the tallest point, compared to other teams - the weight must be able to remain at height freestanding,
Learning Outcomes
Successful teams combine their different individual skills and expertise to design and construct a successful crane to hold the weight. Teams learn to work efficiently and effectively within limited time constraints. Crane Construction is a truly collaborative team exercise as teams must combine their knowledge, skills and experience to build the tallest crane. It also has a competitive element as teams compete to have the tallest crane.
