Project Management
Today’s new construction and modernization projects can be complicated—with many vendors to manage, deadlines to meet and details to oversee. Often, projects extend past planned timeframes and budgets because of the difficulties in maintaining control of the operations.
With the expense and coordination that goes along with large-scale projects, it makes sense to have a dedicated, experienced project management team to ensure the project is managed properly to meet deadlines and budget requirements.
Eaton’s Project Management Approach
Eaton’s Project Management System is a patent-pending process based on a 100-point scorecard system, which includes 35 weighted items divided into four project phases. This system ensures a consistent approach to each project, effective communication and planning and provides visibility within the company for any issues or risks associated with the project as those risks appear.
Eaton is serious about taking this care in project management, because projects rarely go smoothly from start to finish. Communications systems that drive early planning and can identify unintended consequences from project changes early in the process are essential. Course corrections and risk-mitigating action plans are the result.
Eaton’s Project Management Team
Eaton’s project management organization utilizes a focused team approach to manage all project orders from before the project starts to beyond closing for single-point project responsibility.
