 I. Case Background
As the Philippines make the arrangements for the 2021 South East Asian Games (SEA Games),
the Philippine Government built up a thorough development plan in Central Luzon means to
grandstand the quality and intensity of the Philippines through the opening of a progression of
recently developed foundation.

One of the featured settings is the Greenheights Stadium to be developed in the core of Subic,
Zambales. Tarcila and Co. was granted the agreement with a punishment proviso of Php100,000
every day of postponement past May 20, 2021. Tarcila and Co. President Tarcille Joe communicated
her hopefulness that they can complete the task prior to the contracted cutoff time and produce a
benefit of as much as Php 20 Million.
I. Statement of the Problem

The researchers will examine the possible strategies that the Tarcila & Co.
will undertake to adhere to all the conditions stipulated in the awarded contract.
III. Assumptions
● The stipulations stated in the awarded contract for Greenheights Stadium are those that usually
form part of the contracts as stated in Republic Act 9184.
● For this specific project, the Company hired a Project Manager that has years of experience in
dealing with construction projects granted by the government.
● The government will give the Company a priority stamp on future dealings that involves
building classic ballparks with modern luxury boxes.
● The Company currently has only 500 construction workers including supervisors.
● The Company has been in existence for 4 decades and has already completed both private and
government contracts.
IV.Areas for Consideration
a. Human Resource
Based on previous project experiences, employment of additional 500-700 full time construction workers will be
needed to beat the deadline and avoid the penalty clause.
Each supervisor handles 80-100 workers to ensure that no idle worker will be given compensation.

b. Operations

Having suppliers that will meet the budget of the Company and will have ready inventory to ensure that materials
needed are ready for delivery to meet the required date of project completion.

A sophisticated inventory management system shall be administered to ensure proper handling and monitoring of
inventory levels and procurement as needed in the Project and minimize the possibility of inventory oversupply.
IV.Areas for Consideration
a. Finance
Availability of discounts for bulk orders and rebates for faster payment from the suppliers that minimize the cost
being incurred by the Company.
The Company may also consider checking financing options being offered by banks and other financial institutions.
Successful completion of the Greenheights Stadium Project will generate a possible Php 20 million income for the
Company and open doors of possibilities for other government awarded projects.

b. Marketing

The Marketing Department of the Company is actively looking for contract biddings by building relationships with
contact persons from concerned government agencies like the Bases and Conversion Development Authority, Local
Government Units and The National Economic Development Authority.
IV.Areas for Consideration

a. IT/R&D
Online monitoring of inventories is a needed tool to properly account for all materials
coming in and going out that will be used for the project including but not limited to: concrete
bowls, luxury boxes, jumbotron and steel canopy. Roof and roof tracks shall have a separate
inventory monitoring as the above-stated materials require a more intrinsic monitoring.

Answer to Question 5;
VI. Alternative Courses of Action (at least 4)

Proceed to building the new 47,000 seat Baseball Stadium

Advantages: Tarcila & Co can utilize their exemplary management skills and big-ticket events expertise and ride
the resurgence of baseball.

Disadvantages: It is a costly endeavor and will require big capital and labor from the organization. It is also risky if
baseball’s resurgence will continue and if the audience will continue to watch games live, there is a possibility in
the future that the audience may transfer to watch online.
VI. Alternative Courses of Action (at least 4)

Build the stadium with lesser seating capacity but with more high-tech cameras designed specifically for
online viewing.

Advantages: Tarcila & Co. can also utilize its expertise in project management and continue to build a physical
stadium but with the advent of online events; the stadium can be among the first venue to have a distinct advantage
with online shows. This will also enable the venue to cater to international events easily.

Disadvantages: It may prove costly to equip the stadium with features designed for online shows and it is a gamble
as this is one of the first venues of this type.
 VI. Alternative Courses of Action (at least 4)

Build a stadium for a different kind of sport

Advantages – the firm can check on other sports that fetch a bigger following than baseball and decide to build a
stadium for it instead. This project will not hinge on the resurgence of baseball but on the current popularity of
another sport like basketball or football.

Disadvantages – Currently, there is no feasibility study proving a bigger following of a different sport and the
duration of the project needs to be studied again.
VII. Action Plans
VII. Action Plans
VIII. Recommendation

The researcher therefore recommends that the project should continue due to the results of the
Greenheights Stadium Network Schedule that shows the end of time of the construction of the
stadium, As there will be no delays on the specified nodes in the network schedule. The workers
should follow the schedule and there must be no delay on deliveries of raw materials by the supplier
to the stadium.
IX. Conclusion

We conclude that Tarcila & Co. should proceed with the project because based on the Activity
on Node, the firm should finish the project on time and net a Php 20M without penalty as it will be
finished before May 20, 2021 deadline.
