But with the right planning and project management you can avoid the issues and come to a stress-free resolution. Here is our guide to snagging and how to do it right, to avoid the headaches.

Why do so many businesses need help with project delivery? In most cases: 🎯A new project can make or break a business’s profitability. 🎯No one person takes responsibility/accountability in that business. 🎯Excitement for the project diminishes as the workload increases. 🎯The critical detail falls through the gaps in the team. 🎯Dedicated Project resources are seen as short-term and expensive. What if we can help your business deliver your projects? Because we have a dedicated team of professionals that can take a project from a concept idea through feasibility and complete project delivery, you will be safe knowing that we have everything covered for your business. What if we can offer your business a flexible and reliable resource? As the workflow demands of the project ebb and flow, we can flex our resources to meet your direct business needs, meaning you only pay for the time we spend working on your project. What if your project requires specialist consultants, e.g. civil engineering design? We have several tried and trusted associate companies that we can introduce, again saving time and money on supplier validations because we have already done that for you. 📌If you have time to read it, here is and example, we had 20 weeks to double the amount of legendary chicken required for a particular client. If they did not deliver on the increase, then they risked losing the whole contract. The primary equipment suppliers’ conveyors were on 30 weeks delivery… A significant schedule problem, I think we would all agree. Oh, and on top of that, the client's operations team didn’t like the proposed layouts. Enter our team. After several in-depth conversations and an action plan later, this is what we achieved… A new layout that helped increase plant yield from 79% to 91%. A third shift dropped after just four weeks, as production requirements were met by the other two.  A yearly saving of around £250k. Rework reduced by 30%, saving £96k. Cleaning times were reduced from eight to four hours, saving £30k. Extension of the process room while production continued. Strip out of the old-line configuration with 20 new conveyors, and four new critical process machines reinstalled and fully commissioned in 48 hours. If you’re looking at how to become more efficient and profitable with happier customers and workers. With our project expertise and experience, you can do just that. Connect with me to find out more. P.S. It does not matter if your project is £100K or multi-millions; we are here and ready to support your growth plans. #legacyprojects #followaprocess #projectmangement #processdesign #ukmfg #fmcg https://lnkd.in/eJFqS39Y

IN MY relatively ‘long’ years of managing projects, here is one key lesson I have learnt as a Project Manager; NO PROJECT PLAN SURVIVES CONTACT WITH CONSTRUCTION. Something will always, inevitably, throw the plan off. That is just how it is. Don’t get me wrong, project plans are useful, in the strict sense that they are a proof that planning took place. Project planning forces the team to think through the right issues. But most plans rarely survives contact with the real work - construction. First week after ground breaking and boom! Your plan is gone. The stand out Project Manager today is hence one who can easily adopt to emerging, unpredictable, situations that will exceedingly disrupt the plans to steer a project to its timely conclusion. Diligent monitoring of project plans is therefore one of the most critical activities during construction, from day one. Your plans are going to change, so must you if you’re to finish on time. Make peace with that.

What is a PROJECT? A project is a temporary endeavour with a specific goal and a budget. It differs from routine operations by having a clear start and end point. Projects are completed when their goals are achieved and they are handed over to regular operations. If a project seems endless, it may be due to an unclear goal. Projects result in a unique product, service, or outcome and often face constraints beyond just financial, such as limited resources. In essence, projects are distinct, finite attempts to achieve a particular objective, unlike ongoing operations that consistently produce the same outcomes.
