PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Keeping complex facility projects aligned from concept to completion.

From early planning and design coordination to procurement, installation, commissioning and handover, our project management approach brings structure to pharmaceutical facility delivery.
Teams, responsibilities, decisions and project information are coordinated to keep each stage aligned with the agreed scope, schedule, quality and compliance expectations.

Scope, progress and decisions aligned

Project Control
The approach

One management framework across the project lifecycle.

Project information, responsibilities and decision pathways are managed through a consistent governance structure.

Internal teams, consultants, vendors and stakeholders work against agreed responsibilities, reporting routes and approval requirements. This keeps issues visible, supports timely decisions and maintains continuity as the project moves through each delivery stage.

Ownership remains clearResponsibilities, interfaces and escalation routes are defined across participating teams.
Decisions remain traceableActions, approvals and agreed changes are documented throughout the project.
Project lifecycle support

Management support from concept to completion.

Project management is carried through each stage so that decisions, interfaces and handovers remain coordinated as the facility progresses.

Project management plan

The controls that keep delivery aligned.

The project management plan establishes how scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources, risk and communication will be governed throughout delivery.

Project Scope Management

Project scope, deliverables, responsibilities and acceptance criteria defined to maintain alignment with agreed objectives.

Schedule Management

Programme structure, activity dependencies, milestones and reporting requirements established across the project stages.

Cost Management

Budgets, estimates, approval controls and cost-reporting requirements defined to support financial control.

Quality Management

Quality expectations, technical reviews and checking processes established for project deliverables.

Resource Management

Internal teams, vendors, consultants and specialist resources planned around project-stage requirements.

Risk Management

Project risks identified early, with mitigation actions developed around potential scope, schedule, cost and quality impacts.

Communication Management

Reporting channels, meeting structures, escalation routes and stakeholder communication requirements defined.

Change management

A controlled pathway for project changes.

Proposed changes are recorded, assessed and approved before implementation so their potential effect on scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources and compliance remains understood.

01. INITIATE Change Request Initiation

The proposed change is formally recorded with its justification, required details and supporting information.

02. ASSESS Impact Analysis

Potential effects on scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources and compliance requirements are evaluated.

03. APPROVE Change Approval

The change is reviewed and approved by the relevant project stakeholders before implementation.

04. IMPLEMENT Implementation & Tracking

Approved changes are introduced through a controlled process, with actions and progress followed through to completion.

05. DOCUMENT Change Documentation

Approvals, revisions and implementation records are maintained for transparency, traceability and an accurate project history.

Monitoring and control

Current project status kept visible throughout delivery.

Performance is reviewed against approved baselines to identify deviations, resource constraints and emerging issues early enough for corrective action.

Cost & Forecast Tracking

Approved budgets, commitments, forecasts and cost movements tracked throughout the project.

Schedule Tracking

Dependent activities, bottlenecks, delays and milestone progress monitored against the approved programme.

Resource Tracking

Internal-team deployment, vendor resources and specialist availability reviewed against planned requirements.

Risk & Issue Tracking

Active risks, site issues, dependencies and mitigation actions tracked through to resolution or close-out.

Frequently Asked Questions

Practical questions before project delivery begins.

Project Delivery Readiness

We recommend bringing project management in during concept or early design, before scope, responsibilities and major decisions are fixed. We can also join later, but we first review the existing design, procurement commitments, risks and schedule to establish a clear way forward.

We define responsibilities, package interfaces, reporting routes and approval requirements early. Coordination meetings, action registers, decision logs and look-ahead planning are then used to keep teams aligned and resolve issues before they affect dependent activities.

We track progress against approved schedule and cost baselines. Milestones, actual progress, forecasts, risks, approved changes and emerging delays are reviewed regularly so corrective action can be taken early.

We record each proposed change and assess its impact on scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources and compliance requirements. Changes proceed through the agreed review and approval process, with implementation tracked through closure.

Yes. We first review design progress, procurement status, site activities, contracts, documentation, risks, changes and outstanding decisions. From this, we develop a recovery plan with revised priorities, responsibilities and realistic completion milestones.

Yes. We can plan brownfield and expansion projects through phased execution, controlled work zones, planned shutdowns and coordinated tie-ins. Existing operations, access limitations, contamination risks and temporary arrangements are assessed early to reduce disruption to ongoing manufacturing.

NEXT STEP IN PROJECT DELIVERY

Move from project planning into coordinated site execution.

With scope, responsibilities, schedules and project controls established, site execution can progress through clearer work packages, interfaces and decision pathways, while project management continues throughout delivery.
