Project Management and Engineering
Managing change
successfully is challenging in any organization. At Creative Science
Solutions, Inc., our professional staff has the broad experience base to
effectively solve engineering challenges and integrate those results with
our skills for managing projects. Our highly trained and experienced
engineering management personnel have served in a wide variety of project
execution roles, from project manager for multiple large capital projects
to participating on project teams as design, operations or process
engineering representatives. The range of project objectives has included
environmental compliance, capacity expansion, new commercial product
introduction, utility systems installation and optimization and process
reliability improvement. Facilities served have included major
manufacturing sites, R&D bench scale and pilot plant operations and
general facilities infrastructure.
As with any
effective project management organization, CSS, Inc. respects the balance
between project schedule, cost and quality of deliverables and manages the
trade-off between them to meet the client's overall objectives. We employ
a front end loading approach on projects, concentrating our efforts early
in the project’s life to thoroughly define your needs, therefore
ensuring a comprehensive project scope is developed and thus minimizing
costly changes or delays later in the project’s life.
Regarding our
front-end loading practice, CSS, Inc. is committed to working closely with
you to clearly define the project goals and execution strategy and
thoroughly evaluate the alternatives before proceeding with detailed
engineering and construction. We are rigorous in applying financial and
economic analysis at this early project stage. These analyses identify
cost reductions opportunities, set the basis for project justifications
and clarify decision making when several alternatives are being
considered. As an independent third party, CSS, Inc. is objective,
challenging the analysis. This process usually uncovers a range of project
scope and execution opportunities.
We strongly believe
this approach to project execution results in streamlined project scopes,
reduced re-work and minimized cost expenditures. Effective project
execution from the beginning avoids surprises later in the project where
the potential negative impact to cost and schedule is greater.
From our past
experience in industry, we recognize how difficult it can be to justify
maintaining the necessary skills and resources to complete projects in a
timely fashion. As part of a successful trend to outsource such expertise,
CSS, Inc. is prepared to fill those gaps in engineering and project
management skills that may exist in your organization. We will partner
with you, including your representatives participating as key project team
members, in each step of the project. As a result, you benefit from
seamless hand over and startup as well as complete project documentation.
