Project Management Support & Training

The Stanton Group's quality of project management is an important reason why over 80 percent of our engagements are with repeat clients. Project Management is a way of life for us. We develop a project schedule by critical path method (CPM) to support every project proposal we write. The resulting client engagements are managed by CPM to help us control project cost and delivery. On large projects we routinely train client personnel in the use of CPM software, usually MicroSoft Project, to help with the implementation of project solutions.

The Stanton Group also offers project management services for large client projects. Plant relocations, new plant startups, complex product startups and custom product rollouts are all good candidates for this kind of support. The involvement of project managers (PMs) always improves project delivery performance and can also reduce project cost in several ways:

• By strategically grouping project tasks, the PM can reduce the number of times that specialty people must be used.
• By tracking subcontractor progress, time, and billing, the PM can help hold the line on subcontractor costs.
• By identifying and reporting schedule problems before they occur, the PM can protect performance bond payments.

Stanton Group PMs use familiar report formats like Gantt charts and resource tables to keep your organization aware of project progress.
