Initial Planning Sessions 3 x 4 days over first two months Purposes - basic machine design (size, many other parameters) - scheduling, including CPM/PERT - personnel requirements, with timings - identification of potential general contractors and component suppliers to be contacted - financial planning - administrative planning
Administrative full-time employees Construction workers full time; some probably sub-contracted Technicians mostly half-time employees Scientists and Engineers initially half-time employees (some full-time, partly off-site) Department heads initially as consultants paid on a daily basis
