Project Management

THE LOGISTICS BUSINESS provides a wide range of consultancy services in logistics and the supply chain. We are always pleased to have the opportunity to implement the solutions we have developed or support the implementation of solutions developed by others. 

Our role within the earlier phases of a project may range from the development of specifications, through tendering support, evaluation of supplier responses, detailed final design work and full implementation planning.  These skills, together with a high degree of practical operational management experience within our team, make THE LOGISTICS BUSINESS the ideal partner for the implementation phase and subsequent migration of operations into the new facility.

Detailed project plans, usually in the form of Gantt charts, are used to identify critical paths, co-ordinate tasks, plan resources and monitor progress throughout the course of the implementation.  The project management may require liaison and agreement between a large number of contractors, or possibly interested departmental groups within a business, which means that management and interpersonal skills can be of critical importance.

Health and safety legislation dictates that projects may be required to ahdere to the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations (CDM), updated in 2007.  THE LOGISTICS BUSINESS is able to advise clients of their responsibilities under these regulations and has experience of providing support in the roles of Principle Contractor and CDM Co-ordinator, as defined by the Health and Safety Executive.

Many ‘Logistics Infrastructure’ projects, with a large element of Electrical/Mechanical engineering, are managed under MF 1 form of contract.  THE LOGISTICS BUSINESS has significant experience of working within this framework and our team offers people suitably qualified to act as ‘The Engineer’ as defined for these contracts.
