4.0 TECHNICAL SECTION
The department of Tourism has set dates and funds for investment for economic
the department of tourism. So, we chose the Rompin district as an area to be introduced
in the aquaculture sector. Moreover, Rompin is an area located in the South of Pahang.
The area is about 5,735 km². In addition, Rompin is also famous for its agricultural
sectors such as oil palm and paddy. The population in this area is less exposed to the
aquaculture sector as they are more focused on agricultural activities. Besides, the
Rompin area is less well known and located in rural areas. as a consultant, we find that
marketing strategies in this area are given less attention. It has caused many tourists
who are unaware of the existence of this place to do tourism activities. Furthermore, this
area is also less focused and attention to develop the aquaculture sector. To improve the
local economy such as creating employment opportunities, the tourism department has
marketing strategies be improved from time to time. For example, to ensure that many
people know Rompin, we held the Rhu Rompin Festival which aims to help the
the country. In addition, effective advertising is very important so that more people know
and understand what the organizers are trying to convey. therefore, we are of the opinion
that the assignment given by the department of tourism can be implemented well as it
has been our field of work for the past few years. further, to ensure this marketing
strategy is effective, consultants will use social media as the main platform to make
announcements about this project. therefore, to ensure that this marketing strategy runs

opens up employment opportunities for locals which can improve their economic
structure. The living standards of the population will also indirectly increase with the
existence of this aquaculture sector. Next, Rompin will be better known not only in the
agricultural sector but also in the aquaculture sector as well. It can attract more visitors to
visit the area. This proves that areas located in rural areas can also be developed and

5.0 COST SECTION
Project Cost Management includes the processes required to ensure that the project
is completed within the approved budget. In order to provides an overview of the following
major processes like Resource Planning in terms to determining what resources in terms of
people, equipment, materials and what quantities of each should be used to perform the
project activities. Then, Cost Estimating in terms to develop an approximation estimate of the
costs of the resources needed to complete the project activities. Next, cost Budgeting in
terms to allocating the overall cost estimate to individual work items and Cost Control in
terms to controlling changes to the project budget. These processes interact with each other
and with the processes in the other knowledge areas as well. Each process may involve
effort from one or more individuals or groups of individuals based on the needs of the
project. Each process generally, occurs at least once in every project phase. For this project
Rhu Rhampin Aquaculture Festival the budget had provided are RM 1 Million.

Cost Performance Index
The cost performance index (CPI) is a measure of the conformance of the
actual work completed (measured by its earned value) to the actual cost incurred:
CPI = EV / AC. In both above formulas, a value of 1.0 indicates that the project
performance is on target. When CPI are greater than 1.0, this indicates better-than-
planned project performance, while CPI less than 1.0 indicates poorer-than-planned
project performance. The formulas used to calculate the CPI indices are generally
based on cumulative costs (Warburton, 2008).
Example:
CPI = F (CEV, CAC)
= 1,000,000 (713,000,708,000)

6.0 RISK ANALYSIS
Irina et al. (2017) define risk as the combination of unwanted event that might occur
and its potential consequences on the completion of the project. Risk can be considered as
an unpredictable event, where the best solution is to manage them as fast as possible. (Irina
Severin, 2017) Risk analysis refer to an analytical process in providing information regarding
undesirable events. In other word, it is the process in identifying possible risk and the
Okogbuo et al. (2015) state that risk identification involves capturing all
potentials risk that might occur within the project. (F. Okogbuo, 2015) It provides
next step of risk analysis in which allow ASSFA Firm to control and learn about
areas that exposed to the risk. The main objective of risk identification is to
understand what the risk is might occur within the context of the project’s explicit and
implicit objectives. This allow ASSFA Firm to generate thorough preparation based
on the threats or event that might affect the achievement of project’s objectives.
Hence, development of risk identification will act as a guideline for ASSFA Firm to
project documentation is in place. In other word, project element like project charter,
scope statement and project management plan, for instance, Work Breakdown
Structure need to be available in order to list the possible risk within the project. This
is because without the elements might lead to difficulties in assess the risk.
because risk identification not only concerned with solving the current problem, but
being prepared for the possible problem in the future. Therefore, ASSFA Firm
31
should adopt a rigorous and on-going process of risk identification in order to identify
application of the method is well known by the project team and profitable to the
project itself so that the identification of the risk can be done efficiently. The first
technique is brainstorming in which this technique are commonly used. Often, this
technique performed with a multidisciplinary set of experts, not with the team. In this
technique, all relevant persons related with the project will gather at one place and
list out the possible risk that might affect the whole project. This technique to be said
the existence of risk and its aftereffect. Secondly, interview or expert opinion

and short response period being achieved. Hence, the risk identification

32
Thus, potential risk that affects the project can be identified using all three
techniques above so that early corrective action can be taken. Past research shows
that the issue with possible threat predicted in the project can become opportunities,
not only means to reduce losses within the project in, for instances, economic
The process of evaluating the risk and action undertaken to deals with events that
likelihood will occur and the degree of impact the event will have on project

51 – 75% 1 0 2 0
26 – 50% 0 1 0 0
0 – 25% 0 0 0 0
Based on the matrix table, risk likelihood can be split into four ranges of
per cent (likely to occur) and 76 – 100 per cent (likely to cause serious problem).
Meanwhile, the color inside the matrix represent three major zones. The first zone is
yellow (low-risk zone), where the risk is not of great importance, but it does not
(moderate risk zone). This level is not a high priority risk in which project managers
helped to work through time constraints and increase project efficiency. Lastly, red
(high-risk zone). This zone are considered dangerous and unacceptable compared
Thus, risk assessment matrix help in tracking the status of the project risk as

handling the potential risk that affect the completion of the project.

6.3. Risk Response Planning
action and determining the action that can be taken to enhance opportunities and
reduce risk to the project objectives. This process able in ensuring the potential risk
are properly addressed. (Kamalesh Panthi) The occurrence of risks are likely will
affect the completion of the project. ASSFA Firm should work to ensure that
opportunities occur and reduce the probability and impact of unwanted events.
Therefore, there are two risk response planning strategies, which are strategies for
Risk response planning for negative risk can be divided into four. Firstly, risk
avoidance in which eliminating the risk or situation that causes the risk by changing
the project plan. This is to ensure that the project objective are being protected from
risk impact. For an example, changing the scope of the project so that the risky item
are no longer undertaken. However, not all risk can be avoided, but some may.
Secondly, risk transfer, where the risk will be transfer to the third party. For
instance, financial risk exposure likes insurance usually been handled by this
strategies as it is the most effective way. This is because risk transfer usually
requires payment to the party receiving the risk of a risk premium. Thirdly, risk
which will lead to reduce the problem. The last risk response planning for negative
risk is acceptance, where there is no suitable action can be taken to handle the risk,
therefore project manager decided to accept it. There are two types of acceptance;
active acceptance, where contingency plan to execute the risk occur are being
developed and passive acceptance, where no action is requires when the risks
occurs.
35
Next, risk response planning for positive risks can be divided into three. The
first strategies is exploit the opportunity. This can be done through eliminating the
uncertainty during the risk event happen, for instance, select qualified personnel.
Hence, this will turn the risk into opportunities that might enhance the quality of the
project. Secondly, share the risk. This can be done by allocating ownership towards
third party who had the greater chance of achieving positive outcomes. For an
example, joint ventures, partnerships and rewards. The third positive risk is
enhance in which increasing the probability of occurrence or the effect of the event.
By enhancing can lead to better chances for the event to happen, where the
Thus, risk response planning is an important step for ASSFA Firm as the
analyzing and planning for future potential risks. (Irina Severin, 2017) Once the
risks are identified, organization is responsible to monitor the risk in order to see
what had changed and how it affects the organization. Risk monitoring purpose is to
address how the risk will be monitored. There are a few activities of risk monitoring,
probability of unanticipated effects and also an early corrective action can be taken
risk mitigation actions. This can be done through routinely reassess the program’s
36
risk exposure. Hence, the current environment for new risks or modification to
the project as a whole. It is needed for the ASSFA Firm to monitored the risk so that
an action can be taken, where the nature, potential impact or likelihood of the risk

project plan so that an early corrective action can be taken, where the objectives of the
Rhu Rampin Aquaculture Festival project by ASSFA Firm will took place
within the time that have been given by Department of Tourism, partnership with
Skypark Global. The project will be carried out for 2 years in which began on 1

setting a goal for encouraging team success and having ample time to accomplish
the scope of work prepared. (Mosaic, 2006) For the successful of this project,
ASSFA Firm will provide project timeline as the guideline, as failing to stay on
schedule could result in the failure of the project as a whole. For instance, a project
always face poor time management either problem with the team or the number of
hours allocated to complete the project itself. This problem can be control through
Project budgets refer to funds estimated during planning phase of what is expected
to be the cost of the project. (Kang, 2018) Completing projects within given budget is
one of the challenges faces by project managers. This is because budget estimation
often conducted during the planning phase, which is at early stage of project life
cycle, where there is a lack of data and information. Therefore, project budget can

ASSFA Firm able to identify the related cost factors associated with project work
packages, where it consists of the labor, materials, and overhead costs (if any).
This system allows the calculation of the cost and schedule variance in which able to
predict project cost and schedule duration. An early corrective action could be
The implementation of this system will provide ASSFA Firm a clear view of
the project as well as provide strong insight into the project progress. The EVPM is
typically use for projects, where cost and time to completion estimates are needed.
This EVPM will allow ASSFA Firm to predict and monitor the cost of each activity
and to compare it to the actual planned. (Haghighi, 2013) In addition, EVPM able to
deliver early warning of any decline and unexpected problem. This will allow ASSFA
Firm taken an early action that might affect the completion of the project. Hence,
EVPM act as a vital tool for ASSFA Firm to in monitoring project performance at any
stage of the project. This is because this system giving a chance for ASSFA Firm to
detect cost and schedule overruns at early stage, where an early corrective action,
for instance, modify project progress can be taken so that project can be complete
39
7.4. Controlling Cost
Control cost refer to the task of supervise and monitor project cost as well as
preparing for future financial risk. Controlling cost is important for ASSFA Firm as it
is not managing the budget, but also planning and preparing for unpredictable
events.
ASSFA Firm divided budget expenses into 3 different cost for the Rhu
total of RM209,127. This section included food and beverages, materials, equipment
and facilities rental, travel and additional cost, where it is the cost allocated

worth total of RM82,873. This cost will be used for cost control in which the budget
will be used on for emergency or unexpected matter. Hence, this contingency cost
help ASSFA Firm to be prepare for any potential risks, for instance, unexpected
need for extra raw material in MasterChef program in which can save time and
potentially, money.
The usage of budget by ASSFA Firm for this project had been allocated
effectively and efficiently only for the purposes of marketing the Aquaculture Industry
where the budget allocation is adequate, not more or less. Hence, the controlling
control of the budget allocation according to the resources and activities will be
carried out by ASSFA Firm periodically in ensuring the completion of the project are
40
7.5. Project Scheduling
ASSFA Firm generated schedule in two different techniques, which are “Work
project’s milestones, activities, and deliverables in which often had start and finish
dates. WBS help in estimate the dates for each task and a resource list with
availability for each resource. However, if those dates not being carried out properly,
the schedule will be inaccurate. Meanwhile, Gantt chart commonly used for tracking
project schedules as it illustrates the start and finish dates of the terminal elements
and summary elements of a project. (Ronald, 2013) For an example, this chart will
show additional information about the various tasks or phases of the project like how
the task relate each other, show the project progress and resources allocation for
each task.
There are four approaches to schedule control, where the first step is analyze
the implementation of the new changes can lead to the completion of project on time
or not. This can be done through the numbers of slack, where can be adjust on the
positive slack. Hence, by analyzing the schedule able to determine the project can
be complete within the time given. Secondly, decide what corrective actions
should be taken (if any). Determine what type of corrective action is needed, for
instance, should the number of slack being reduced or should the invest number of
resources being reduced. Corrective action should be decided first before the
implementation of new schedule, as the decision will affect the whole project. The
third step is revise the plan. Revising the plan will help in determining the best
choices need to be taken for the achievement of the project, where could result to
the completion of the project according to the schedule. The last step is recalculate
the schedule. Any unnecessary activities can be execute according to the plan and
measure the progress. Thus, proposed approaches can help project manager to

of the project in which help to create and implement a better strategy. This is
implemented. ASSFA Firm able evaluate the effectiveness of project plan in term of
cost, quality, flexibility, value and other dimensions. Hence, it is important to have a
the purpose and plan of the project into a series of performance metrics that provide
measure through four perspectives: financial, customers, learning and growth and
perspective or want in term of quality, costs and distribution. This to ensure that the
project plan is according to the customers need and want. Besides, customer
resources. It is important to locate resources according to the task and invest them
as good as possible. Then, knowing how internal processes operate will help to
accomplish the project goals. Hence, by improving the internal processes will help
ASSFA Firm to improve its all-around performance. Lastly, learning and growth
perspectives. For instance, training and growth are cut first in a shrinking budget
