1 Introduction Mathematical Research, Inc., dba MRI Technologies, is a woman owned small business providing project management, engineering, and life cycle services to government and aerospace industry. The company was established in 1988 and has continuously contributed to the success of government agencies and fortune 500 companies in the area of project and program management. Company personnel have established certifications with the Institute of Configuration Management and International Society of Configuration Management.

MRI’s primary objective in providing consulting services and facilitation services is to analyze how processes were being performed, determine if performance improvements could be made and facilitate these changes across the organization. Additionally, we provide consulting and support services to integrate our support and knowledge of project requirements into the proposed or active projects. This consulting and facilitation involves the integration of identified improvements resulting in increased productive time for the project team and allow them to focus and spend more of their efforts on the project activities and less on the business functions of project and configuration management requirements

In addition to our consulting and facilitation services which include life cycle services, we provide planning and scheduling for each project. Our tasks include defining the task and developing a work breakdown structure. From the work breakdown structure MRI develops the master project plan and schedule. MRI works closely with managers to develop earned value based schedules and plans. We maintain and produce data from performance measurement systems, which provide earned value analysis for division projects and programs.

General Description of Services: During the project definition phase, MRI contributed to the establishment of project management and configuration management processes and policies, including the definition of the project baseline schedule.

In these reviews MRI assisted the project team in setting up and refining the agenda; coordinating meeting logistics and conference support; recording discussion content and capturing of action items; and processing review item discrepancies (RIDs).
