Services - Project Management
Pre-Project Support - Review and Assessment of Work Scopes Successful projects are
the result of careful planning and a complete understanding of the work scope before
the project is initiated. CompuChem's Environmental Testing Lab Project Managers
take pride in thoroughly reviewing and assessing customer work plans. All customer
technical scopes are reviewed by our Quality Assurance staff, as well as the managers,
whose lab area(s) will contribute to the preparation and analysis of the project
samples.
This information is discussed in daily laboratory operations meetings before samples
arrive, to insure that everyone is in agreement relative to what is necessary to
successfully meet project requirements. Input and suggestions are solicited from
all participants in order that appropriate feedback can be given to clients in terms
of the laboratory's ability to meet the technical specifications, reporting requirements,
etc.
Whenever possible, our Project Managers may recommend a kick-off meeting, either
face to face or by phone conference. Small, but important, details are worked out
and examples presented for evaluation or consideration before the first sample arrives.
Project Management Overview
Project Management is a comprehensive approach to assessing the goals of a project
and carrying out the work necessary to comply with customer-specific scope requirements.
Our goal in Project Management is to insure that all clients meet their data quality
objectives in a timely and cost effective manner.
CompuChem's Project Managers are empowered with the ability to obtain assistance
from any laboratory staff whenever it becomes necessary to meet client needs. Each
Project Manager will act and perform on your behalf as your internal advocate at
our facility. Our Project Managers are tasked with the primary responsibility of
meeting your needs.
Project Profile Sheets (PPS)
The information gleaned by the collective review process explained in Pre-Project
Support is incorporated into a Project Profile Sheet (PPS), which outlines in definitive
fashion, the requirements necessary to meet the scope requirements. CompuChem uses
this PPS approach for all clients, large and small. The PPS reflects the laboratory's
understanding of the specific job requirements. Before being distributed to all
environmental testing laboratory areas that will have a hand in meeting the requirements
of the work plan, a final draft is forwarded to the customer for review and assessment.
The client is given the opportunity to approve and actually sign-off on the lab's
interpretation of the project scope.
This gives each customer the opportunity to review the laboratory's interpretation
and gives them the chance to make last minute changes or revisions to the scope
before samples are actually received for analysis. CompuChem has determined conclusively
that the use of this important tool is essential to the successful delivery of comprehensive
project results.
