EPV applies Program and Project Management activities throughout the life cycle of any project. Our approach is that a program is nothing more than either a large project or a set (or portfolio) of projects. The point of having a program is to exploit economies of scale and to reduce coordination costs and risks. The project manager's job is to ensure that their project succeeds. The program manager, on the other hand, may not worry about individual projects, but is concerned with the aggregate result or end-state.

  • EPV believes program management is the process of managing several related projects, often with the intention of improving an organization's performance. In practice and in its aims it is often closely related to Systems engineering .

  • We feel project management must be the discipline of planning, organizing, and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of all our project goals and objectives. Our skilled staff use a very consistent and structured approach as well as using all available tools in managing projects.

  • We approach both program and project management with the same engineering skills we have used in developing software products over the years. Some of the activities we focus on include:

    • Planning Projects

    • Risk Management

    • Project Monitoring and Configuration Management on items critical to the success of the project.

    • System Acceptance Plan

LEAN Manufacturing

Lean is both a programmed change in the culture and an application of a set of 'tools' that assist in the following areas:

  • Identification and steady elimination of waste

  • Improvement of quality

  • Reduction of both the production time and the cost to produce
