Supply-Chain post-award management is an essential element of project success. For engineered equipment and subcontracts, proper management of the supplier/subcontractor and close coordination of all post-award activities is a must and it is recommended to use a package lead in charge of the internal/external coordination and follow-up. This function is generally covered by the Project Manager for small projects and not always well understood and implemented. In our new White Paper 2017-17 ‘How to Implement Package Management for Supply Chain Post Award Management on Projects’ we detail what are the key success factors for the implementation of the Package Management approach for large projects.

Package Management is an essential role for the success of Large, Complex Projects. Proper supply of engineered equipment and services will often be the key to timely and cost-effective delivery, because it will avoid the dreaded bottleneck effect where the entire project might be waiting on a critical delivery, leading to delays, costly mitigation actions and substantial disturbances.

Our White Paper describes in detail the recommended organization for package management across the entire supply chain cycle, from pre-award to post-award activities. Success in a project takes a team, and package management is the appropriate way to make sure the entire team contributes to the success of Project Supply Chain Management activities.

Package Management is not often properly implemented on projects. Our new White Paper 2017-17 ‘How to Implement Package Management for Supply Chain Post Award Management on Projects’ explains the scope and give some recommendations for successful implementation. This implementation must be consistent and happen early in the project.
