Project Management
How the Outsourcing Network manages projects
and Generates hidden cost savings for our clients:
The key to successful sourcing is having a proven project team tracking all phases of the project. Our clients find the more projects they give us; the more their workload is reduced because they no longer have to deal with dozens of vendors.
Program Management - When a complicated project is approved and our client issues a PO, our first step is to break down the project into a series of steps that are agreed upon by our client, our project manager and the vendor doing the job.
A Gantt chart is developed so everyone knows when each phase of the project should be completed. Then everyone is kept current with the progress of the job. If any phase falls behind, we immediately consult with our client and initiate the necessary changes to insure the successful conclusion to the project.
Companies that source product directly tend to require large project management departments because each vendor does things differently. The more vendors they have, the more complicated the tracking. Because of our project tracking procedures are so complete; our clients use our engineers to do this work for them. If we were making 200-500 parts for your company, you would only require one or two people to review all of the jobs we are doing. They will literally know what has to be done, when, every week of the year. If a problem develops, your staff will be informed; a decision on how to handle the matter is made and the Gantt chart will be readjusted.
As our project management is included in our project costs, our clients eliminate the need to build large project management and quality control staffs. This leads to significant hidden cost savings and also eliminates the risks of global sourcing.
