Establishing an effective control environment from the outset.

 

Proxime Management Services (PMS) provide programme and project management skills and processes (the PMS Toolset) in an engineering project environment.

This commences with the determination of the Employers requirements embodied within the Client Brief and Basis for Design, and the procurement strategy for engineering systems.
At this time the concept of risk identification and management is established, designed to prevail throughout the project life cycle.
PMS have the skills and processes to develop the Safety Case for major infrastructure developments, together with system resilience analysis and management of the life cycle, including energy management.

Particular management experience includes:

  • Bid management with tactical evaluation and value engineering, including 'red team' review.
  • Project execution plans and project controls
  • Commercial risk evaluation, cost management, contract administration and management of change
  • Management of design against cost plan and programme
  • Systems Assurance and Life Cycle Management
  • Performance management with dash board reports
  • Integrated systems testing and commissioning
  • Long term FM implementation including risk based management

PMS are experienced and capable of delivering effective solutions and process to identify and mitigate design, delivery and financial risks. Thereby achieving programme objectives.


 

Technical Architecture


To provide transparency on the way we work and recognising the diverse sets of data that typically surrounds complex programmes, we standardise the technical architecture as far as practically possible. We also capture personal comments and views to enrich the data and to enhance programme communication.

Once structured, relevant data is extracted into a data warehouse incorporating control procedures to ensure relevance and appropriate reporting for the phase the programme is in.

 

The benefits of the approach are:

  •  Alerts.
    Highlighting areas requiring management intervention.

  • Decision support.
    Remove the reliance on experience and fragmented information.

  • Cause and effect analysis.
    Appropriately structured data and links to source systems allow drill down ability.
     
  • Critical path analysis.
    Structured reporting on deliverables, deadlines and interdependencies indicating associated responsibilities.

  • Compliance.
    Simplified compliance with regulatory requirements and managing the associated documents.

  • Standard reports.
    Periodic and stage reports delivered consistently and timely.

  • Data availability.
    Sets of clean data can be extracted for analytical purposes without compromising the integrity of the warehouse.

  • Knowledge base.
    Captured and secured data forms a solid base for effective operation of the commissioned infrastructure.

PMS provides a comprehensive programme risk mitigation solution through experience and a flexible management toolset supporting the entire life cycle of the assets.

 

Concise Metric Reporting

 

 

Our efficiency is based on the deployment of a customised early warning system covering all aspects of your programme of work. Whilst covering the requirements for effective risk management on behalf of stakeholders [the PMS Toolset] provides practical process support and documentation standards. Because the primary information sources will vary, covering programme plans, business applications through to personal observations, [the PMS toolset] will aggregate information to ensure a single source off the truth.

 

Whilst all (standard and specific) reporting requirements can be catered for, the emphasis is on timely reporting of exceptions by visually highlighting areas requiring attention.

The Performance Metrics incorporated in [the PMS toolset] covers all relevant areas of the project life cycle and can be augmented to fit the specific programme and the inherent data environment .

The Performance Metrics comply with recognised methods to ensure relevance and maximum benefit from using solutions of this nature. By making [the PMS toolset] an integral part of our services we improve our own and your efficiency-planning and control effort will be dedicated to staying on track.
