Company Moving to New Building After Hurricane Maria

Abstract

The main objective of this project is to move the operations of Pratt & Whitney Puerto Rico to a new building facility in Aguadilla by the end of Q2. The company was supposed to move by 9/2017, but Puerto Rico suffered from the pass of two hurricanes that devastated the island. Because of hurricane Maria, the new building suffered considerable damage and the movement was postponed until further notice. By the beginning of 2018, the company hired a contractor to start the renovation effort and be able to move by the end of Q2, and between both parts discussed a possible schedule to ensure such outcome. Between completions and delays, the employees were able to move to the new facilities by the end of June 2018, and the building was 100% completed by mid-September, meeting expectations from the company upper management and their employees in general. Key Terms ⎯ Delays; Manpower; Relocation; Schedule.
