Project/Program
Management
Organizations can
improve project completion, quality and cost performance by:
Recognizing that
Project Management is a comprehensive skill set learned and developed
by individuals over time through education and experience and consists
of a standard set of methodologies.
Recognizing that
project management skills are not necessarily known by the people
assigned to manage the project.
Using a standard
set of methodologies within the organization by way of establishing
and communicating an acceptable and simple process for managing
its projects.
The methodology
M. Arthur Consulting Group uses is to Plan, Monitor, Control and
Re-plan. In each of these steps, we follow a defined set of goals
to assure your project/program is managed effectively. Let us help
you manage your next project or enrich your employees by offering
one of our Project Management Seminars. Back

Be
a leader in Safety
An
effective safety program can strengthen your company in
a host of different ways - from saving you money, reducing
down time, and liability, to lifting moral. Let us look
at your current safety program to determine whether you
are adequately protected from liabilities and ensure your
employees are working under safe conditions. We can initiate
and implement a safety program and then document all the
procedures in a manual. Facts
Many states offer discounts on Worker's Comp premiums when you implement
a qualified safety program. In the state of PA, for example, you
can save 5% per year for 5 years on your workers' comp premium with
proof of a qualified safety program. In many instances, our
service is free. That is, your rebate more than pays for
our consulting services.
- Reduce your insurance premium
- Decrease your legal liability
- Satisfy your customers' requests for proof of a qualified safety
program
- Reduce OSHA citations
Your
Challenge
- Starting a qualified safety program & decreasing liability
without hiring another person.
- Improving your current safety program to increase
safety and decrease recordable injuries.
- Outsourcing the administration of your Safety Compliance
program.
Our
Solutions
We can initiate
a safety program, augment your current program OR manage your safety
compliance as an outsourced function. This might include: leading your
monthly safety programs; documenting all safety activities; and/or
implementing all required written material. We can help you develop
and implement a wide variety of policies and procedures to ensure a
high quality safety/training program meeting OSHA requirements. In
most cases, the workers' comp discount we secure for you will pay for
our service, save you headaches and save you money. SAFETY
TRAINING
Take advantage of our comprehensive
safety training programs. Most topics last 1-2 hours and can be held
on site. Choose the topics that are right for your company, but don't
miss Right-To-Know (RTN). This
is always on the top 10 citations list published by OSHA - since most
companies do not have a comprehensive policy or miss it altogether.
Employees have the Right To Know about any chemicals they are using
- down to the janitorial staff's right to know about the chemicals
in their cleaning products. No company can afford to ignore RTN. Our
RTN training gives you 3 manuals--a detailed safety director's version,
a condensed version for employees, and a summary version used during
the training. During the training, we help your employees understand
the compliance labels used on containers, we explain dangerous situations,
and we show a video to emphasize dangerous situations. We also document
the training via a "test"...that is, the employees are
able to answer all the questions by using their manual. In turn,
we document the training for you to keep in your files. Documentation
is CRITICAL in the event of an OSHA audit. Typically, this training
takes 2-3 hours per 15 employees. Special arrangements can be made
depending on your situation. Training

Compete with
other suppliers and become a qualified JIT supplier .
We'll walk you through the JIT vendor qualifying steps. Typically,
you'll start with 25% of the most
expensive and/or highest defect rate parts and select
3 to 5 current vendors for a each one. You'll interview the vendors and
then select one...and only one. You'll understand that price is not the
main criteria.
Get Control of
Your Inventory
We'll
help you control your inventory via systems such as min-max inventory
levels and suggest improvement to your current purchasing/inventory strategies.
These changes don't need to be extensive...simple methodologies often
produce dramatic results. We'll work with your major vendors--often,
they have programs where they'll manage your inventory in your warehouse.
For example, one of their employees will stop by your warehouse on a
weekly basis, perform a quick inventory audit, and restock your inventory
accordingly. |
