Operations Management

Operations management is about predictability — producing consistent outcomes with known resources. Operations management is not a craft or an art— it’s a science— a science that requires disciplined process with the proper tools and procedures.

Exotek can help you define and implement the right tools and processes to describe the “what, where, when and how” of any project and successfully track the project to completion. Exotek can be directly involved in the implementation or coach your team through it. We also provide a quarterly review for consistency. Operations management roundtables offer mentoring and the opportunity to learn new approaches and ideas.

SI Project Management Assessment

The SI Project Management Assessment is a structured evaluation used to assess the effectiveness of your organization's project management practices by addressing:

• Key project management processes – what needs to be done.
• Overall organizational environment for project management – where it will be done.
• Management and resources – who has responsibility and who will be doing the work.
• Execution – how it will get done on time and on budget.

The program will identify non-performance issues, limiting factors and determine a set of initiatives for improving project management across the organization.

Infrastructure Assessment

A Company's internal structure, software tools, and practices play a very important part in the success of the business and can drastically improve productivity and reduce overhead costs. 

With this assessment Exotek will evaluate your current setup and can help you define and implement the right tools and processes to describe the “what, where, when and how” of your internal network structure and the software tools used as they relate to your business practices and financial software. Exotek can be directly involved in the implementation or training needed or can assist your employees in a plan to get there.

Project Methodology Implementation

Every business is unique—it's defined by the owners, managers and the industry you operate in. This program will assist you in implementing a project methodology geared towards your specific business initiatives and structure.

Copies of other companies' project methodologies and SOP’s is not the answer. Exotek will work with your management and project teams to develop a suitable methodology, SOP’s, resources and infrastructure that will meet your unique business needs.

Long-term initiatives and direct hands-on involvement are available depending on the current state-of-readiness, urgency and acceptance rate of project methodology within your organization.

Quarterly Performance Reviews

Implementing successful project management systems is a long-term effort that requires constant attention and improvement. Exotek provides you with quarterly audits of your project management system and practices to help reap the benefits of “continuous improvement.”

Performance reviews include:

• audits of actual delivered projects relative to prescribed project methodology.
• a summary report supplied to project and senior management of specific areas of compliance/non-compliance.
• an independent review of your organization, to help create greater emphasis and awareness of the importance of adopting and consistently adhering to proven project methodologies.
• assistance to eliminate project methodology implementation “false starts.”
• recommendations for improving project management practices.
