Project Scheduling

One example of a project at Bose would be the Factory Renewing process of certain products. The tasks include, customer return, return authorization logging, defect information, shipment to re-inspection centers, reexamination, appearance and performance guideline testing, re-certification, and finally shipment to a Bose Factory Store location.

It is unknown if Bose utilizes Gantt charts due to strict privacy and confidentiality policies but we are sure that charts and diagrams are used. Recommendations for future tasks would include the integration of customer feedback within the Factory Renewing process to ensure that consumers are receiving exactly what they find useful.
