Project Management Systems
A number of standard industry packages are available to assist asset managers in managing projects, whether they are major asset creations or minor refurbishments.
These systems are usually stand-alone.
The package will schedule, monitor and control:
- Human resources
- Costs
- Milestones.
Keeping project schedules current is a time-consuming task, but it is imperative that the plan accurately reflects reality, to ensure that the goals are achieved.
The outputs of the system, which are critical to the on-time completion of the projects, include:
- Critical path analysis
- Cash flow predictions
- Resource utilisation reporting.
Some examples of project management software packages include Microsoft Project and Primavera SureTrak.
