Project Management

Recently completed Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification thru Villanova University. From contract documents I develop a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) which outlines all the functional tasks for a specific project. Then resources are allocated with time and material estimates. A Precedence, or sequence of tasks, is established and a Critical Path is defined using a Precedence Diagramming Method. The tasks are delineated within a Gantt Chart  to illustrate a production schedule. The software I use allows several projects to be analyzed concurrently for resource capacity planning and interactively modified to smooth demand.

I follow project through to completion and acceptance by the customer. That includes: negotiating changes in scope as specifications develop and concepts become reality, keeping awareness up on early critical path items such as Bills Of Material and vendor selection, regularly reporting progress, providing technical assistance and  decision making strategies, raising resource issues and filling gaps whenever possible, and living with the project daily.
