Our Management services provide effective and transparent project, workflow & task management with cloud based tools promoting a collaborative approach.
Project management services are an essential but non-value adding activity. Project deliverables seldom, if ever, specify project coordination as a deliverable in itself; yet inadequate project management is frequently the root cause when projects get into difficulties. Overly complicated project management systems can be a significant cost burden but still fail to identify project constraints, recognise developing issues in a timely manner, or communicate project status efficiently through multiple layers of interested parties.
MouldPoint believe that project management needs to be simple but effective, and low impact in terms of cost and manpower. It should run efficiently and continuously; not in weekly packets of time and data, or when a Project Manager '...gets around to it'. The service should operate quietly in the background in a supporting role with all project stakeholders, including the Client enabled to contribute the necessary stream of data that maintains an '...up to date' project status. In summary MouldPoint emphasis is less on coordination and more on collaboration providing access to simple cloud based collaborative management tools.
Collaboration
Online Project & Specification Data Management
Truly effective project management comes from straightforward collaboration of all invested project stakeholders, where each understands their own contribution to the information driving the project.
MouldPoint intent is not to provide costly resources to continually manage and filter the data, but instead maintain and manage a simple framework into which the data is placed, organised and accessible 24/7. Essential to success of this management system is a detailed,agreed and approved Project Design Specification (PDS) comprising:
- Request for Quotation / Accepted Offer
- Contract / Purchase Order
- Project Implementation Plan
- Product & Performance Specifications
- Technical Feasibility Evaluation
- Team Feasibility Commitment
- Design for Manufacture
- Design FMEA
- Stakeholder Approvals
Workflow & Task Management
Cloud Based Tools for Real Time Project Review
With the (PDS) Project Design Specification established and agreed, the key actions necessary to discharge the project successfully and efficiently are run through our online workflow and planning collaboration tools. Current project status on an action by action basis can be readily reviewed online in real time 24/7.
The planning tool provides a high level overview of front to back predicted project activity and timing including upload of key documentation for periodic review.
The workflow tool provides the agenda for detailed systematic project reviews and collaboration online, conferencing and face to face project meetings.
Your Point - Secure Web Portal
Online Single Point Storage, Access & Update
