Project Divestment & Termination Plan
The first part of termination will be a lessoned learned document. Next all remaining resources will be reallocated. The welding space will be released and any time requested in machine shop will also be released. Any materials that were not used will be returned to vendor if possible. All other materials will be left in the welding lab storage area.
