During the Procurement Phase Maser will participate in discussions and inspections to ensure that the design intent and unique project parameters are clearly conveyed to the Suppliers. In addition, Maser will provide documentation of any addenda required for clarification to the Suppliers.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE

The Maser team is comprised of professionals with extensive experience from the engineering design, construction, and construction management business, specifically related to the requisite work. This experience enables us to thoroughly understand the construction installation, materials, and methods necessary for a successful outcome. We understand the time constraints that drive construction projects and the impacts of not meeting schedules and we strive to provide timely responses to Requests for Information (RFI’s) and materials submittals. Maser also attends construction coordination meetings and performs field observations visits with timely publishing of written field observation reports.

QUALITY CONTROL

Maser Consulting is detail oriented and prides itself on quality control. Maser Consulting has established quality assurance procedures to ensure quality deliverables to our clients. Engineers are directly involved in the design process and supervise design efforts and CADD operations. Compiled lessons learned from previous projects are applied to each new design. The Maser discipline leads will perform a quality control review, and the project manager will perform a final quality control review prior to document submission to the Owner.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION

Our professional’s work diligently with our clients to ensure successful project delivery in compliance with the approved schedules, design, budgeting, permitting, and administration while maintaining quality standards from initial assessment through project completion.

OBJECTIVES

The use of project scheduling software provides the capability of pooling various staff resources across the organization. Maser Consulting Internet capability also allows for the creation of a dedicated and secured web site for selected projects.

RISK ANALYSIS/ASSESSMENT

During the initial review of the project scope of work a Project Risk Analysis/Assessment will be performed for selected projects. Projects that are complex, high-cost, high-risk, fast tracked or at the client’s request, will undergo a risk analysis assessment. The purpose of this assessment is to identify project related impediments that may have the potential to negatively impact the schedule, budget or both. Identifying potential problems early during the initial project life will help determine a more realistic project schedule and budget, increase project success. Early identification of potential impacts and mitigation measures will prevent these impediments from occurring at a future date that may overwhelm project resources with devastating effects. The project manager will reach-out to the various Subject Matter Experts (SME) in the various disciplines within Maser Consulting to assist in the risk assessment.

PROJECT SCOPE OF WORK/CPM PROJECT SCHEDULE

The final scope of work authorized by the client forms the baseline for the official project budget and project schedule. The project schedule is developed based on a “time-is-of-the-essence” philosophy that identifies the logical work path through all activities, thus defining the project Critical Path (Critical Path Method- CPM). The CPM schedule identifies project milestones and deliverables and reflects the approved person-hours and costs needed to complete the project based on the approved project budget (cost-loaded schedule). This cost loaded CPM schedule is updated periodically from actual time charged against the project, including project direct expenses.

QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL

Maser Consulting has a strict policy to establish, commit to, implement, and monitor a Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC) program for every project, allowing for the production of quality deliverables for our clients.

This QA/QC program is continually monitored to maximize its success and to identify possible improvements.

Each Maser Consulting employee is a part of this QA/QC program. Their use of carefully managed processes, guidelines, and state-of-the-art tools is conducive to the creation of products and services which meet defined client requirements. The Maser Consulting QA/QC program applies to all of our disciplines and office locations.

Throughout the organization, each Department Manager is responsible for the following: Communicating the firm’s QA/QC policy to employees Developing quality plans and reviews Implementing a quality management system to consistently achieve superior services Monitoring and continually improving the level of client satisfaction.

Providing mentoring and training to develop and continually improve employee performance

The Maser Consulting QA/QC Program manual is distributed to all Project Managers, Department Managers, Division Directors, and Executives of the firm. The manual is designed to help Project Managers implement practices for effective project management and incorporates department-specific guidelines as they are developed.

The Maser Consulting QA/QC process is broad-based and incorporates several layers of pro-active and review based quality checks. At the heart of the process is a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) that addresses a number of key quality related project elements:

Roles and responsibilities of project team members.

Performance objectives.

Methodologies used to monitor and evaluate performance.

Quality assurance reporting and analysis of quality assurance monitoring results.

High-level overview of the organization’s corrective action management approach and documentation process.

Based on the QASP, the team’s task execution and work product development are guided by a defined process and periodic reviews that begin before the program is awarded. This includes:

In-depth review of the Scope of Work (SOW)/Performance Work Statement (PWS) that will be deployed for the project

Review of applicable lessons learned from past projects Review of the project response document to enable compliance with the

Scope of Work

Once a project is awarded, the QA/QC process is focused on proper coordination of tasks among team members, adherence to schedule and ensuring that the requirements of the SOW/PWS are met. This requires open lines of communication between the Program Manager and the team leads as well as periodic interim reviews of technical analysis, solution development, overall project progress and the initial versions of the project’s work product.
