Interim Project Manager handles Relocation of Plastics Injection Moulding Facility
Our interim project manager worked closely with this client to re-focus its plastics injection moulding equipment on to one site, creating a world-class facility, by improving capacity, process capability and quality of production and manufacturing engineering. The new injection moulding facility was designed as a showpiece manufacturing plant - to provide a shop window for products and processes for our client's automotive OEM customers. A key requirement for the interim project manager was to ensure no loss of production throughout the project. This was achieved by careful planning of the transition from the existing manufacturing plant to the new facility.
Our interim project manager handled all project engineering and site management work and administered the works contracts and purchase orders for building, M&E services and equipment installation on the client's behalf. The client required that an existing warehouse building be refurbished to accommodate the new plastic injection moulding shop. A system of busbar trunking and overhead cooling water and compressed air systems was installed to provide supplies to the 50+ injection moulding machines, relocated from the client's main assembly facility. Support utilities, including sub-station, fire main, cooling tower and compressor house were built externally.
Regular site meetings and safety meetings were held by the interim project manager to control project progress. The operations expansion and relocation programme was handled by our interim project manager, over a nine month period, with no loss of production throughout.
