IMPACT
A client’s production was temporarily shut down due to regulatory citations. Sciras’ services in project management, project engineering, and design support during the facility renovation were pivotal in addressing the compliance concerns and improving future manufacturing capacity.
Business Challenge
To ensure our client could continue operating successfully following several compliance concerns cited by a regulatory agency, Sciras consultants were brought in to remediate these issues and improve future manufacturing capabilities.
Our Approach
Sciras consultants worked with cross-functional teams to manage and coordinate project activities. This led to the development of the project charter, construction plan, and preventative maintenance task plans. They then provided construction supervision to track project progress, resolve problems, protect client assets, and ensure workers’ safety.
Due to the sensitive nature of our client’s project, our consultants were required to attend to multiple remediation activities simultaneously during the project phase.
