What was at stake.
Machine foundations needed tight floor flatness and long curing. Customer qualification audits were fixed. The schedule had the audits as a final milestone with no logic tying them to equipment installation.
How we controlled it.
What our schedulers and cost engineers did on this project.
Foundations first
Machine foundations were sequenced as their own critical chain, with curing and survey checks built in.
Qualification logic
Each customer audit was tied to the equipment, tooling and quality systems it would inspect.
Cost by area
Costs were tracked by production area, so the owner could see what each line truly cost.
Earned value
Earned value showed the owner real progress every month, not just percent complete.
The result.
The audit date was fixed by the customer. Everything else on the schedule had to earn its place in front of it.
