----Do Not Get Trapped Hiring Consultants Who Believe Planning & Scheduling Is About Reporting ----
Cost Efficient Solutions for Both PMC and Project Execution Works
LZ-PMC guarantees producing quality Time Schedules at minimum cost, using the readily available wide database of historical projects templates and schedule fragments.
Minimizing project execution duration to minimize the Preliminaries/OH Costs is one of our main objectives, relying on our knowledge of what exactly is technically sufficient to take the next step/activity of the project work. Our detailed experience dealing with the tiny details of Engineering, Procurement, Construction, and T&C phases of projects enables us to plan for the shortest path to completion by maximizing overlaps between project phases.
Minimizing other Indirect and Ancillary Costs of the project including warehousing, material storage, transportation, idling manpower/equipment, and others is our priority. We use efficient techniques (like Line of Balance and Continuous Flow) to plan for a continuous uninterrupted pace of progress, resulting in an optimum learning curve and maximum productivity rates; and plan for a timely delivery of material that minimizes the associated indirect logistics costs.
LZ-PMC will dive into the details of areas that require further assessment and study in enough details in advance to avoid potential expensive workarounds.
Optimizing cash flow to minimize financing costs based on the project terms of payment and other contract information.
