Scope
Development
Members
of the PMO work closely with the
project manager and other operational
department representatives to develop
a comprehensive work breakdown structure
for each project. This effort
will decompose the project into individual
shop orders complete with task descriptions,
resource requirements, and budgets
for commercial items.

Schedule
Development
 All
our project schedules are created
using Primavera®. We
will draw from a library of task
and subnet templates to create
an individual schedule for each
shop order then combine them together
to form a baseline schedule for
the entire project that satisfies
all customer requirements and milestones. This
baseline schedule then becomes
a database of information including:
departmental task lists, resource
requirements, major milestones,
cash flow requirements, departmental
interface points, and other reports & lists. Further,
this detail schedule integrates
with our purchasing system to provide
material requirement dates by shop
order for each commodity type.

Project
Control
 Each
Monday, project participants report
their task progress from the prior
work week. This
information is measured against
the baseline schedule and variances
are identified, classified (yellow,
blue, red), and reported during
the weekly Project Status Review
meeting attended by our entire
operations management team. Action
items and recovery plans, when
required, are discussed, authorized,
and documented for those tasks
and projects with red status. Our
process of managing variances and
the critical path allows our management
team to focus on potential problem
tasks early enough in the schedule
to avoid downstream schedule delays.
