Project Scope Statement
Project Scope Statement
Purpose:
Develop a pilot project for delivery of prescriptions for Wilmont’s Pharmacy using Drones in
San Francisco in order to optimize the delivery system of 4 stores. This will be a prototype
based project to understand the feasibility of this new concept.
Project Goals:
Developing of customized, fully equipped drones for home to home delivery of pharmacy
prescriptions along with related software integrated with customer portal system. The
project will be commissioned on pilot basis in San Francisco for 4 retail pharmacies.
Four of Wilmont’s retail pharmacies have participated and for trial assessment customers in
apartment buildings will not be approved by Wilmont’s management for optimize this
service, considering the complexity of delivery.
The drones designed for this project will be customized in order to handle sensitive
pharmacies and deliver them safely to the customers. Perceiving that the some of the
pharmacies are prone to temperature effects, the bagging system inside drones should have
temperature control facility. Also, the pharmacies are delicate and to ensure their safe
delivery, the drones should be equipped with bubble type cushioning system that will
enable safe & sound delivery of medicines.
An app for prescriptions is included, which needs to be integrated with existing customer
portal of Wilmont’s Pharmacy. The customers willing to receive this service should register
them on the application & needs to be approved for this facility by Wilmont’s Management.
During the integration of software, the security of Wilmont’s business information,
customer privacy & proprietary information on drone delivery system should be of prime
importance.
The estimated is estimated to cost $750,000 based on similar previous projects conducted
by DroneTech. However, the cost should be as less as possible. The funding for this pilot
project will be raised by the Operations Vice President, Wilmont’s Pharmacy. The delivery
system should be a seamless enhancement to Wilmont’s already top-quality delivery
process.
The project should commence on January 5th and considering the harsh winter conditions in
proposed region, the first test flight should be commissioned no later than November 30th.
The testing of drone delivery operations will be conducted by appointed representatives of
Wilmont’s Pharmacy and their decision will be absolute and binding on all. These
representatives will review the test delivery flight along with ease and efficiency of the
integrated delivery software.
