The key to success for projects of any size is experienced Project Management. Project Management begins with a sound original plan and culminates with the successful on-time completion of the project. 1. PlanningDevelopment of a project plan determines the resources (manpower, material, subcontractors, (etc.) required to complete the Project on schedule and within planned budgetary constraints. The first step toward successful project is the formulation of a Baseline plan. The Baseline Plan identifies work to be accomplished (activities) and monitoring points (Milestones) which can be used to effectively manage progress on a project. The number of Activities and Milestones on a given Project depends on both the size and complexity of the project work. At least one Activity will be established for each identifiable key increment of the Project. Man-hour Budget by Activity and Activity duration requirements are determined in order to reasonably ascertain Manpower requirements. 2. SchedulingWhen the Baseline plan is established, a Baseline Schedule can be developed. The Baseline Schedule considers the Baseline Plan, but also assigns calendar dates to each activity. Most activities have Predecessor and Successor activities, that is, there are activities that must be completed before the next sequential work activity can start. Schedule development considers these factors as well as the allowable duration for each activity. When all Milestones, and durations have been identified and inserted into the Schedule, it is possible to determine Manpower and financial requirements during the course of the Project. At this point, it becomes possible to determine the most effective Manpower and Resource management plan. All of this is accomplished by WIM's key project personnel through the use of modern Project Planning and Management software. WIM utilizes its in-house Primavera P3 Scheduling program. 3. Project/Program Implementation and CoordinationA properly developed schedule plays a vital role as an effective management tool. When delays and problems occur, impact can readily be determined. Project management can readily determine actions can be taken to avoid project delay (i.e.: reallocation of resources, work-around activities, overtime, etc.). It is used to track progress, and performance to schedule and budget. It also provides an effective means with which to communicate with the customer. 4. Computer SoftwareThe Computer software which Walashek Industrial & Marine utilizes for Project Management is Primavera Project Planner (P3) or Microsoft Project, depending on Customer preference. Both programs provide the following capabilities: · Gantt Charts · Pert Charts · Production Logic Networks · Progress and Status Reports · Manpower Forecasts · Monitoring Performance to Budget Project Management also utilizes Microsoft Excel, Access and Word Software to enhance Report Management and Correspondence with the customer. Financial Accounting is accomplished via American Contractors software. III.
