1 PROJECT MANGEMENT

1.1 Introduction (about the chosen scenario)

1.1.1 IoT definition

Internet of Things or IoT refers to billions of physical devices around the world that
are currently connected to the internet, collecting and sharing data. Thanks to the
processor inside the same wireless network, you can make things smarter and proactive.

You can see IoT from automatic door systems to planes to self-driving cars that
have become a common part of IoT. This adds a level of digital intelligence to passive
devices, allowing them to communicate real-time data without the need for human
involvement, effectively fusing the digital and physical worlds.

Figure 2 illustrative image of IoT


1.1.2 The importance of the IoT

When anything is connected to the internet, it means it can send or receive


information, or both. With the IoT, this ability to send or receive this information makes
everything smart, and intelligence is always the navigation to.

Smartphone (smartphone) reuse as an example. Right now you can listen to any
song in the world, not because your phone has every song in the world stored in it. It
means since every song in the world is stored somewhere else, but your phone can send
information (request that song) and then receive information (the stream that song) on
your phone).

Perfomed Student: TranVanMinhNhat-BDAF190002 2


To be smart, something doesn't have to have super storage or a supercomputer
inside it. All you have to do is connect to super storage or a supercomputer.

1.1.3 The idea of a smart refrigerator applies IoT

In this project, we will create a product called a nutritional smart refrigerator, to


serve all objects from children to adults, the elderly, sportspeople, gym people. , dancing,
artist ... many diets are catering to each object, the fridge is divided into 10 compartments,
the first 7 compartments for 7 days a week, when you enter what are you from The
refrigerator offers advice to help you, and you just need to place the consulted food into
the first 7 compartments of the refrigerator and eat according to the schedule. The
remaining 3 compartments are for other specials.

Figure 3 Smart fridge illustration

1.2 Project initialization (P1)

1.2.1 Main aim of the project

The purpose of the project is to research and deploy a smart nutritional refrigerator,
to serve customers to control their daily nutrition in the best way. The impact of this
product is also assessed to improve the quality of IoT smart refrigerators. More
specifically, a smart nutrition refrigerator has the following features:

 Get your health status information via user voice request.


 Get information about the user's occupation, from which to make nutritional choices
for each group of people.

Perfomed Student: TranVanMinhNhat-BDAF190002 3


 The system will prompt you to reinstall your diet after a week.
 The system will scan to check the quality of the products in your cabinet. what kind
of product is broken, what kind is good. And then display the results on the screen.
 After taking all of your information, the system will analyze your health status and
from there synthesize foods that do not contain nutrients to supplement you. Finally,
the system will divide the rations for a week, including 3 servings per week for you
to choose from.

1.2.2 List of Objectives to achieve the aim

The development of this project is in order to satisfy following objectives:

 Helps users know what nutrients their body is lacking.


 In this day and age, it is extremely difficult for us to think about what to eat today, so
the smart nutrition fridge will help us do it most reasonably.
 Scan to find out which foods are spoiled so we can discard them.
 The refrigerator is programmed for its self-learning ability, to make the refrigerator
more and more intelligent, and more accurate in nutritional counseling.

P2 Produce a project management plan that covers aspects of cost, scope, time,
quality, and communication, risk resources.

1.3 Project Management Plan (P2)

1.3.1 Scope:

The scope of the project Smart Fridge Used To Balance Daily Rations For Users
includes planning: Virtual recruitment assistant software package. This AI-based software
will meet or exceed the organization's software standards and additional requirements
established in the project charter. The scope of this project also includes the completion of
all documentation, manuals, and training aids to be used with the software, as well as
collaboration and satisfaction from stakeholders and stakeholders. the client company.

Completion of the project will take place once the software package and
documentation have been successfully implemented and transferred to SRS Recruitment
Solutions Division for application with other client companies seeking recruitment
solutions.

All work of the project Smart Fridge Used To Balance Daily Rations For Users will
be done internally and no part of this project will be outsourced. Scope of this project may
include changes in customer requirements for future software updatesSmart fridge used to
balance daily rations for users

Perfomed Student: TranVanMinhNhat-BDAF190002 4


1.3.2 Time :

1.3.2.1 Definition

The term "time estimate" refers to the evaluation of the number of hours required to
complete a task or series of tasks. The deeper you understand the characteristics and
nuances of the job, the more accurate time estimates you can get. Therefore, to evaluate
the amount of time for the entire project, you should do the following:

Define workload - develop a detailed work analysis structure and create a list of
tasks to reach project and assigned milestones.

Evaluate how many hours, days, or weeks each project activity might take, and compile
individual estimates to get the total time required to complete the project.

As you can see, time estimation is an integral part of initial project planning and
along with other planning methods, it serves to:

 Set realistic project expectations.


 Foresee the risks.
 Organize processes.
 And promote focus on priorities from the very beginning.

Figure 4 Time estimation illustration

Perfomed Student: TranVanMinhNhat-BDAF190002 5


1.3.2.2 The role of time estimation
 Make your to-do list look less "intimidating"

Imagine, if you look at a daily to-do list with more than 30 tasks, you will surely feel
overwhelmed and scared right away, right? The longer your to-do list, the more you will
want to avoid it.

However, the length of the list can "fool" you, because there are quite a few things
that do not need much time to complete. Without estimating the time, you can see that it is
a seemingly endless list. But once you attach a timeline to each task and look at the
overall picture, your perception of the list can change immediately.

 Motivate you to get started earlier

It will help you to know how much time it takes you to complete all the assigned
tasks. And this will urge you to get started earlier, instead of procrastinating.

 Making a difficult quest less challenging

Keep your to-do list short and flexible by breaking down large tasks into smaller
tasks, especially those that scare you.

 Improve project planning skills

This is a very important skill for many people. For example, freelancers - who
regularly work on multiple projects at the same time and need to provide the client with
exact project completion time; entrepreneurs need a roadmap for many projects to develop
their business; Office workers want to make sure they can get the job done on time and
come up with real deadlines from the start.

 Increase job satisfaction

Timing will help you create a more realistic to-do list - things you can get done in a
day. When you accomplish what you set out to do, you will feel better about yourself and
happier, increasing your confidence and satisfaction with the job.

1.3.3 Communication:

1.3.3.1 Definition

Figure 6 Communication illustration

Perfomed Student: TranVanMinhNhat-BDAF190002 7


Communication can be seen as a golden key in project management. For project
implementation to be successful, effective communication with all stakeholders is
essential. Many projects fail due to poor communication, lack of communication, or
ineffective information. Communication is the exchange of information with each other to
form ideas, emotional thoughts using words, the media, and many other ways. Simply put,
this means an exchange of knowledge, skills, and experience.

1.3.3.2 The Importance of Effective Communication

Communication is very important in project management, because it is related to


the success of the project. Good communication helps prevent unintended conflicts,
confusion, causing the project to decline, lack of balance in the project. Main participants
must know exactly the project's goals and roles or what to expect from them. It also helps
build team trust so that everyone on the team can work harmoniously, trust each other,
and work productively together from start to finish.

1.3.3.5 The meeting

Before the meeting takes place, the project manager sets up tasks for the team
members a week in advance, and then opens a meeting to discuss the assigned tasks. Of
course, the meeting is still counted as working hours, These meetings are extremely
important, it will allow all members of the company to express their personal views to
achieve work as well as goals. of project. These comments are extremely important, and it
is the premise for best results, best ideas to optimize work efficiency as well as related to
the success of the project.

Perfomed Student: TranVanMinhNhat-BDAF190002 9


1.3.3.6 Email

During the completion of the project, it is extremely important that the people on the
team communicate with each other by email. But there are too many members in the
company, so their email writing style is also very different. common to all employees.
Email is divided in a standard format. The content of the mail must be short and directly
related to the problem to be solved. For managers who want to deploy something, they
must first send mail to all members in the project.

1.3.4 Risks, Name of risk, Priority, Suggestions, Actions

1.3.4.1 Definition

Risks are unpredictable developments, when they happen that will severely affect
the plan or delay the progress of the plan that we have outlined in advance.

A project has the following components: budget, time, resources, quality, and
technology. If any risks occur that could affect any of these components, the project may
fail.

The project manager must develop a comprehensive risk mitigation plan so that if
any risk arises during implementation, he will be able to handle it comfortably. If he doesn't
properly plan the risk, then if anything goes wrong, he won't be able to handle it.

Risks can be classified into external and internal. If a project risk arises due to an
aspect being handled by the project team, it is an internal risk. All other risks are external
risks.

Some of the external risks can be managed with a proactive approach. But many
external risks cannot be managed.

1.3.5 Resources:

1.3.5.1 Types of Resources


1.3.5.1.1 Labor

Labor is not created equal, in order to have a good source of labor, management
must recruit extremely difficult, in terms of skills, expertise, and attitudes, in addition to the
personality must match the position that management wants. If you are in need of a
specialist algorithmic programmer and hire a front-end developer, then it is a serious
mistake.

Besides high expertise, the labor force that we need to recruit must have a good
attitude. You know a good person but a bad attitude can also destroy your company if a
person is capable of doing well but has a good attitude then the job will be more favorable,
and productive. Work also increases.

Perfomed Student: TranVanMinhNhat-BDAF190002 12

1.3.5.1.2 Tools and equipment

It is extremely important to choose the tools and equipment to complete the project,
especially for large projects this becomes even more important, including software and
hardware.

Most tools and equipment have an ongoing maintenance cost and should be
included in the project maintenance cost.

1.3.6 Cost estimation:

1.3.6.1 Definition

It is the estimation of the production costs of a job or the cost of implementing a


production plan before actual production is put into practice, predicting the price of a
product before they are created.

Perfomed Student: TranVanMinhNhat-BDAF190002 14


Figure 13 Cost estimate illustration
1.3.6.2 Role of cost estimation

Ideally, cost estimation will keep actual production costs lowest but will never
guarantee that actual production costs will be equal to those at the estimation. The
accuracy of the estimate will depend on the details of the estimate, the basis of the
calculation, and the reliability of the data used. A cost estimate is a tool that provides
manufacturers with indications that their upcoming projects are economical. Allows
manufacturers to choose from different production options to make the most cost-effective
option. Allows manufacturers to set a selling price before they are manufactured. Helping
to decide to manufacture the product yourself or buy it from another company Help
manufacturers purchase materials, machines, prepare workers ...

1.4 Planning (P3)

1.4.1 WBS

1.4.1.1 Definition

WBS stands for Work breakdown structure which is a method of decomposition and
work structure. By separating the work and clarifying the scope of work and the time
required. From there you can create schedules and work estimates, eliminating
misperceptions about the scope of work for the person in charge.

Figure 16 WBS illustration


1.4.1.2 Role of WBS

Experienced project managers know that many things can go wrong in projects no
matter how successful they plan and execute their work. When they occur wholly or
entirely project failures, they can often originate from a poorly developed or non-existent
WBS. A poorly constructed WBS can lead to adverse project outcomes including ongoing
project plans and expansions, repetition, ambiguous assignments, misbehaving, or
Unmanageable, frequently changing ranges, over budget, late deadlines, and new
products or delivered features unavailable.

WBS is a foundation building block for starting, planning, implementing, and


monitoring, and controlling the processes used to manage projects.

WBS is used as a starting point for scope management and is an integral part of
other PMI processes, and therefore the standards define these WBS-based processes
explicitly. or implicitly.

1.4.2 Gantt Chart

1.4.2.1 Definition

Gantt chart was developed as project management, control tool by Henry L. Gantt,
an American social scientist, and engineer in 1917. The Gantt chart provides a graphic
illustration of Scheduling that helps to plan, coordinate and track specific tasks in a project
(work, research, study ...)

Perfomed Student: TranVanMinhNhat-BDAF190002 18


Figure 18 Gantt chart illustration
1.4.2.2 The main components of the Gantt chart

A Gantt chart is made up of many different factors. A full Gantt chart includes the
following elements:

 Tasklist: Indicates the tasks that make up the project. Task lists are located on the
vertical axis of a chart and can be organized into groups.
 Timeline: show the total time of the project, divided into periods. The timeline is
shown on the horizontal axis.
 Bars: Provide a clear picture of the time and progress of the work
 Milestones: Indicates milestones, milestones
 Dependencies: Connection of tasks that need to happen in a certain order
 Progress: Progress
 The resource assigned: Indicates who or group is responsible for completing the
task

LO2 Conduct small-scale research, information gathering and data collection
to generate knowledge to support the project

2 Research (P4)

After planning and giving some estimates on the smart refrigerator project, in this
section we study smart refrigerators. The research is carried out in two forms, secondary
research and primary research to improve smart refrigerators. Aims to minimize the risk as
well as improve its important factors

2.1 Secondary research

2.1.1 Literature Review

In this section, We will conduct secondary research on human nutrition. We must


investigate as well as do in-depth research on human nutrition and health, consult with
nutrition experts, scientists, as well as good doctors, to give the most suitable nutritional
rations for each group of people. For better understanding, we have analyzed the following
studies:

2.1.1.1 Haier Smart Home

Haier Smart Home, the world’s leading home appliance brand and smart home
ecosystem builder, is ushering in a new era of healthy food storage with the launch of the
first Internet of Food-empowered Smart Refrigerator at AWE 2021 in Shanghai.

The appliance is the first smart refrigerator to be fully compliant with 22 Chinese
national industry standards as well as the global IEC Standards (“the standard”), which
were developed in partnership with Haier to ensure refrigeration systems meet certain
safety, efficiency, and environmental protection requirements. The standard, that has now
been transferred and adopted by over 20 countries in UK, EU, and South American
countries, provides the scale-setting reference for global refrigerator manufacturing. In
China, the standard breakdown has three levels with the highest grade marked Level One
Health Preservation.

The smart fridge has a low freezing temperature fluctuation of less than 0.2°C, while
the middle shelves enable users to switch between six storage modes depending on their
needs. The appliance is also capable of detecting the location of different foods, regulating
their freshness and quality and recommending recipes based on the ingredients available.

Perfomed Student: TranVanMinhNhat-BDAF190002 21


Ideal for preserving the full spectrum of food categories, Haier’s smart fridge
delivers first-class cooling for kitchen and dining rooms with temperatures ranging from
10°C to 40°C. Inside the fridge, users enjoy an abundance of storage with 780 liters of
volume, independent food compartments, a door-to-door design that maximizes space and
an extra-large temperature-adjustable crisper with a unique compartment design. Users
can also modify the temperature in dedicated compartments for special ingredients such
as fruit, drinks, red wine, and health products; and freeze meat, seafood and poultry to
temperatures as low as -70°C.

A truly connected and intuitive solution, the fridge is also the world’s first smart food
platform that harnesses the power of 5G to deliver services via an IoT ecosystem. Haier’s
smart refrigerator provides a number of services to improve the food storage experience,
ranging from seamless user identification to automatic food management, ordering and
wireless payment.

The fridge intelligently identifies family members using facial, voice, and image
recognition, as well as RFID, and delivers personalized services based on their user profile
and historical usage data. The platform also uses RFID to deliver intelligent management
after storing items in the fridge — enabling users to trace the source of an ingredient, link
the fridge to other smart appliances such as the oven, identify the freshest and most
healthy foods, and set a reminder to automatically replenish supplies when low. Budding
cooks can also enjoy seamless livestream broadcasts over the 5G platform, where they
can learn to cook with a chef and become a culinary master.

2.1.1.2 Product in the market

According to eatthis.com, The jazzy fridge allows you to track the meals you've
eaten. You can even ask the voice assistant, Bixby, how many calories you and your
family have consumed that day, and then ask for recipe recommendations for your
remaining calorie budget. Now that sounds way easier than clicking away on
MyFitnessPal!

For the busiest of parents, when the family demands a snack, it's admittedly easier
to reach for a box of mac and cheese or chips, but the smart fridge can prevent that
impulse by offering up healthy cooking methods and recipes based on the foods you have
on hand in the fridge. It's no secret that most children today know their way around smart
gadgets better than any adult, so this could be an easy way to communicate with them on
grocery needs and even keep track of their sugar intake through notes on the touchscreen.

Luckily, this smart fridge's $ 6,000 price tag has dropped since its big debut in 2016.
Now, you can find it discounted on Amazon for just over $ 2,000. Although that's still a
splurge, consider this your one-way ticket to attaining that New Year's resolution of cleaner
diets for you and your family! April 2009

According to Erika Rawes, When you think about what a fridge of the future looks
like, the Samsung Family Hub line of refrigerators may be what you imagine. This high-
tech line of fridges looks like it’s ahead of its time, and it comes in a large variety of styles,
configurations, and colors, from black stainless with french doors and ice makers, to the
stainless steel side-by-side door configuration. This means you can pick up a Family Hub
at a variety of different price ranges.

The major thing Family Hub fridges share in common is the smart screen on the
door of the fridge, which is a game-changer. You can use the large visible screen for
finding recipes and ordering food with one-touch ordering. You can listen to music with
Spotify or Pandora, or even mirror your TV and watch a movie while you cook. The hub
can have reminders, calendars, and allow families to leave notes for each other. No need
to hang pictures with magnets, as you can display them right on the screen. There’s even
integration with other smart devices in your home, allowing you full control from one place.

As you go up in model tiers, you can get additional features, like extra drawers and
doors which serve as flex zones, giving you the option to use these zones as fridge or
freezer space. While some may not like this and may prefer more conventional
configurations, this is all optional. Flex zones are great for someone who has an extra
freezer in their home and therefore needs more fridge space. If your family is always on
the go, this is the fridge for you.

get answers that are more multidimensional and more objective.

CONCLUSION

I had many difficulties in completing this report, the first time I learned how to plan,
estimate and manage a large-scale project. There is so much new knowledge, though it is
full of useful knowledge, such as knowledge of WBS, Gantt charts, how to estimate costs,
manage costs, assess risks, and analyze resources. of project. These are all useful
knowledge that can help me a lot in the future, how to organize my work, manage, and
evaluate what I am doing.
