WorkingNet Networking, Inc., a global manufacturer of data networking equipment, is building several new distribution centers in several countries, while simultaneously implementing new logistics software and processes.
Their first new distribution center is being built in the US, in a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia, so WorkingNet will use the new Atlanta hub as their base of operations. Darius, the Logistics Manager for WorkingNet, is overseeing the project.
Darius has engaged CarryAll Consulting, a logistics design and implementation firm, to help streamline their logistics processes as well as implement the new software.
Together they determine that the project will take six months—from January 1st through June 30th—and will be budgeted at 300,000 USD. A payment of 75,000 will be made at 50% completion, and 100,000 will be paid at completion.
The project also requires SOW Workers which includes a project manager overseeing a team of five implementation consultants. The project manager's hours will be tracked and billed at 125 USD per hour and the consultants at 100 per hour.
In order to engage CarryAll, Darius will use SAP Fieldglass to create the statement of work.
Darius has already chosen the appropriate supplier and SOW template for the SOW he would like to create and has added the details of the project. Now he must review and, if necessary, add legal language to ensure supplier compliance.
Since WorkingNet has standard, and mandatory, legal language that they use for all their projects, they have pre-defined clauses configured on their SOW Templates, making the creation process more efficient for Darius. However, he needs to add an additional clause to ensure the supplier agrees to use only WorkingNet networking hardware for the project.
Follow along as Darius add the new clause.
